"A few *key* differences. ;)"

Linus Sex Tips
I just got my Ducky One 2 Mini White about a month ago, and it's just such a great keyboard. I was very skeptical about the 60% layout (and I do miss the arrow keys in particular), but I chose to go with it because of how easy 60% keyboards are to customise when it comes to cases and keycaps. I got a wooden case for it and changing it from the original to the new one was shockingly easy, it basically took me 10 minutes. My favourite thing about it (other than the looks - the white keycaps in a wooden case looks super clean) is how the sound has changed in the new case. Typing on it sounds soooo satisfying.
PapaQ you desoldered every single switch in 10 mins?
@@thealleyway525 That's the point - no desoldering is needed. Remove the keycaps, unscrew 6 screws, move the keyboard internals to the new case, put the 6 screws and the keycaps back in their place and you're done. It was super easy.
Unlike full size and TKL keyboards, a lot (not all) of 60% keyboards seem to share the same basic design, when it comes to screw holes, USB connection in the back and even the dipswitch thing at the bottom. It was really easy finding a new case where the Ducky One 2 Mini would fit perfectly.
@@papaquonis Thanks for all these informations ! I just orderer the Ducky One 2 Mini Pure White litteraly 5 minutes before knowing the Mecha exist and I was a little bit upset but now I know that i can easily customize the Ducky One 2 Mini and i'm really happy ! :D
How much?
If you don't mind. What Wooden case did you get for it? I'm looking for one myself. Thanks!
You look way too much like star lord from guardians of the galaxy.
Jaemz cahrles every video for years lol
He doesn't resemble Chris Pratt so much.
@@hamzahamid2543 I think it's the beard/stubble
And that small plant is groot and ebra is rocket
I bet Starlord would use a mechanical keyboard...
1:38 aluminum case
4:15 key sound test,
You have done God's work.
I may have to see if they do a 65% Mecha keyboard. I was going to buy the regular one but after seeing the Mecha... I want one lol.
Wonder when that's coming out. Cause i like my arrow keys too.
Good choice
It is a great keyboard if you are just using your PC for browsing the internet and checking mails. But does not have enough keys to satisfy a gamer or content creator.
Qotroz, depends what games your playing. The reason many like the mini is you get more room to run the mouse. Many FPS gamers like to move the mouse with their entire arm and not just the wrist.
@@rtk114 I play several different FPS games on low sensitivity and I use an extended steelseries mouse pad that is pretty big, along with a full sized keyboard with numpad and I have at least 5 to 6 cm between my keyboard and mouse pad.
Hardware Canucks. Now with 20% more asmr. I love it.
The ASMR I didn't know I needed
Try the relaxing End on youtube. :)
Imagine Ducky making a 65% Mecha with hot swap! Now THAT would be awesome!
does Ducky make any hotswap boards?
@@khickling3746 they have the limited edition year of the rat which is hotswappable
Just put in my order for the Mecha and I have to say while I'm concerned (going from 100% to 60%) about the massive step down in buttons, arrow keys included, it appears as though there are comfortable solutions around most problems most users might have. I hope everyone can get the keyboards they want!
The quality of this video is so good I'm willing to watch the ad...
Nice breakdown, I actually received mine a few days ago and love it. My first 60% keyboard.
Where were you able to purchase the mecha?
When watching your videos a month back I felt that you lacked energy and was a little bit worried that you may have any real life issue. Now you look full of energy and happy and I'm glad you do 😊 keep up the great work, your videos are a treat to watch
Really wish for a Ducky One 2 SF Mecha with normal [altGR, FN] all PBT and a INSERT key on the right. ( above the arrows)
My first mechanical keyboard is a Ducky. I love it! Elegant, not over the top gamery look, perfect quality.
A Mecha SF would be amazing, I love my One 2 SF
Ducky: the pride of Taiwan🇹🇼!
"But with a few **key** differences."
I see what you did there.
I think the reddish tint on white RGB modes has to do with PBT. I have the same issue on my Corsair PBT caps since I swapped out from the stock ones, guessing it refracts out the RGB a bit differently to other materials. Might look different on pure white leds
Canucks - "listen to these feet"
both of us - "nice"
0:40 I think you should flip it around first
Good stuff on not talking over the unboxing experience - it is very satisfying watching with the sounds of cardboard and plastic alone.
DON'T DO WHAT I DID! Hey, I really wouldn't talk about the flex of a keyboard without warning people not to over flex it.
I watched multiple reviews of the Ducky keyboards and in many of them the reviewer talked about the keyboard's flexibility. So when I got my hands on a Ducky SF I thought it would be interesting to see what they meant by twisting the keyboard to see how much it flexed. BIG MISTAKE! In twisting the keyboard a retaining screw popped loose, which I had to take the keyboard apart to fix and the connection port in the back of the keyboard popped off in the process.
Yes, my mistakes were because I didn't understand the tolerances of the device or how to take it apart safely. But I probably never would have had this issue if content providers I trusted didn't talk about how flexible the keyboard was and showed them twisting it in the videos.
why would you need to twist your keyboard lmao
@@theNAMEisYASIN The freaking reviewer talked about it, so stupidly I tried it.
Just a suggestion...you should test the stabs on each keys in your sound test individually!
Heya Dmitri. Thanks for featuring Mecha Mini. I'm a 65% guy myself, as I use the arrow keys + CTRL to navigate all the time = no-go on 60%.
So are ya confirming the 65% Mecha Mini SF? Is that coming? If it is, then I'll happily wait. This Mecha Mini checks a lot of boxes, but I'm gonna stick to my Durgod Hades 68.
@Cody Scott Thanks Cody! As i said, I have a Durgod Hades 68. I also shopped around for your Akko before committing to mine, but what tipped me over was Durgod's software, price point, and key switch options. I opted for a Gat Silent Brown -- pretty rare find for a production board. Love it love it. RGB backlight on mine too on the rare cases I use it, plus fast shipping, all for less than the Akko.
I'll wait for that Ducky Mecha Mini SF due to the build quality, programmability, and extra keycaps that brighten it up. Akko is cool too, love that brighter colorway.
*_"Listen to the sound of de'feat"_*
or de feet
Did they really send you that Halloween Spacebar with the Mecha mini? Or were you one if 40 winners during the Halloween giveaway?
I appreciate that you changed your sound setup to capture the sounds you wanted us to hear.
Didnt know Chris Pratt reviewed keyboards. Subscribed
I have the original ducky one 60% with two led colour choices and I wouldnt use any other brand. I also have a ducky shine 3 which has never had a problem apart from when I dropped E liquid on the board however even then it still works even now
Overpriced
@@olian7542 look up rama, keycult and exclusive keyboards 😂
@@olian7542 No, the quality is worth the price. My shine 3 has still better build quality than any other brand like famous Razer oder Corsair mechanical Keyboards.
@@Rxconfigure Yes very sturdy and much better than all the Logitech keyboards i had before.
@@olian7542 Zealios want to know your location
I am planning to move down to 60% from 65. This one looks gorgeous tbh.
Thats too drastic. You should go to 63% keyboard, then 60%
🤣
Ducky better have planned SF Mecha too
Hope they make a white SF version but if not hopefully just and SF version would be nice!
10/10 I enjoyed the ASMR Unboxing. I DEMAND MORE.
I've had my full size Ducky since way before their 60% boards made them cool. Glad they are finally getting the respect they deserve.
Ok?
The pink glow instead of white is because its a combination of all the RGB colors, it would have to be RGBW to have a true white color.
I can tell by the smile that you like Ducky keyboards my friend. Trust me I am sold as well. (:
bruh I was half asleep watching this on my phone I thought lego made a keyboard.
This is a gr8 keyboard
Looking forward to getting this in these holiday offers
Just Pre-ordered one today, thanks for the review.
The aluminum frame is nice but the key caps have less of a “ping” sound on the original plastic mini.
I was about to buy a alu case for my mini from KBD fans but this review helped me. I am sticking with the plastic case. I want as little ping as possible
@Complaint hmm how to explain. it is the ''echo'' that happens inside the case of the keyboard when pressing down the key. Mecha got aluminum case and the mini has plastic. aluminium gives more echo sound, ping, but it feels more premium with alu case, if you care about that. other than that it doenst really matter. if you cant tell the difference of the ping sound, get the mecha if you have the money as it feels more premium.
Just ordered it today cant wait to get it
A white mecha mini sf is my ideal keyboard :P Maybe sometime in this decade!
Can't tell if dmitry is so passionate about KB's that he did the unboxing in that ridiculous ASMR fashion or what
Hi Dimitri, have you reviewed the Ducky Mecha SF?
Does it have a longer response time due to the new floaty design or is it the exact same?
The One 2 SF is not available in my country, so I am considering the One 2 Mini. It would be my first non-full sized keyboard. Hope it's not too hard to get used to!
Thanks to your video I removed that plastic cover on the back emblem hahahahaha thanks man! I've had this keyboard for like 2 years now
Good to see that you're finally reviewing Ducky products after all these years.
0:14 That's ASMR stuff right there
Definitely my all time favorite keyboard. The 65% format does sound interesting though since there are those few games that are easier to play with the arrow keys or their button layout requires it like south park the fractured but whole. Got mine with cherry mx silver switches and couldn't be more satisfied. The Logitech G910 orion I had before this was a close second their switches are also really nice. Still need to test some gateron and kailh switches.
Am in the market for a new keyboard.
I really like the asthetics of 60% boards but I don't think I could live without arrows or F keys and don't want to gamble by buying one to find out.
The 65% boards look too cramped so I guess TKL is my only option?
Nice to see a classic review video.
Since when did star lord start an unboxing channel?
Got mine on the 4th of dec and I love it!
They just announce the 65% version on Twitter 🚀
You are the bestestest. Thanks you.
0:58 "Just listen to the sound of the feet"
*_click_*
Me: noice.
Shame ducky doesn't sell RGB compatible key cap sets worldwide. Would like some color for me DE layout with RGB ofc.
TheBitFox Caseking has some key sets for RGB and some none RGB sets. If you want complete sets, dann probiere es doch über Amazon.
I really thought you were wearing like blue surgical gloves in the shot at 2:59
I would really like to see ducky expand their switch variety. I feel like just having cherry limits them a lot
Yeahhhh i would kill for a one 2 sf steel edition or something. Love the 65% design and i love metal boards.
Steel? You good?
If I could get this kind of quality in a 90% form factor (think TKL but with the numpad included instead of the home+arrow cluster), I'd be all over it.
As is, my CM Masterkeys Pro M will continue to serve.
Vortex TAB 90M and Vibe have it but at a big price and no RGB.
Some other companies have what you're looking for but at ridiculous prices!
If you have the budget check the iQuiniks 96.
@@houssamalucad753 Thanks, I'll have to check them out!
@@SvDKILLSWITCH no problem
If you're looking at different layout options don't forget to check out Vortex keyboards as well. They offer very nice layouts that, as far as I know, Ducky does not have.
Ducky is hands down the best keyboard brand out there, been using them for years. Currently rocking the TKL Skyline.
Не знал что ты говоришь по русски. Спасибо что появился на кедре, было очень неожиданно тебя там увидеть.

You can't even say that you didn't come from either badseed tech, or brandon Taylor
Man I would've been sold if it was 65%
Still happy with my Blackwidow elite
+1 for One 2 Sf Mecha
The reason why the white color gets some pink in it is because Ducky doesnt use RGB-W, they only use regular RGB in their leds. RGB-W has another led that is colored white and is only used for displaying white color. Really sad but something u gotta live with.
I been using the DK9087 since 2014 now and while the wasd may have faded somewhat, the keys still feel amazing.
Came here for the review stayed for the ASMR!
Just ordered this bad boy, can't wait to try it, next month.
Just curious if you preordered or found it somewhere because I can't lol
@@donteberberena5720 You gotta pre order them and just wait it out. It sucks but if you don't you're just gonna wait for them to available again anyway.
I won't get mine shipped out until June 1st, unfortunately. Or if you are feeling ballsy you can always order from a sketychy seller on Newegg or Ebay.
I recommend to pre-order and just wait it out.
i love the video, love both boards i plan on getting the ducky mecha mini soon i need the blue switches because i like my board to sound loud for sure
when the feet sound good as the switches
That’s because Browns are terrible switches. Worst Switches ever made
What?😂
@@Stuhn So u just said that the feet sounds good because of brown switches
How did you get that Halloween space bar
That spacebar keycap is rad
they made 50 of them and did a giveaway in like 2019 and i won 1 but i guess they’re making them again now
I absolutely love that watch.
Where'd you get that Chris?
Damn, I'm almost glad Ducky doesn't offer non cherry switches on their boards because I'd want almost every new model they release.
I just got a keyboard that I'd recommend to EVERY SINGLE PERSON ALIVE to purchase (if you can find it on sale for 100$.)
The Corsair k70 MK.2. It's not worth the regular 180-190$ price-tag, but for 100$, you literally can't beat it.
It is an amazing keyboard. Just amazing.
Ducky has just come full force in one of my country's main PC component, accessories and other tech products store. Whilst the price has made me shy away for a bit, I still have the ducky TKL on my wishlist!
Sillychimera943 dicky lol
@@orange5695 Damn autocorrect.
wow, Dmitry with glasses! 😍😍😍
that spacebar is LIT! can you buy it anywhere?
Every ducky keyboard i have bought (4) All have the same problem! Some keys double click or triple click or dont click at all!
how do you get the white floor on the ducky one 2 mini?
That's an epic thumbnail
people are gonna start thinking Mecha is just a keyboard
New Mecha arrived & it didn’t come with Shine-through accent caps, as they did with all these older review videos. Not sure why they are doing this now. Any vids showing how to open up the keyboard? I need to add a sound dampening foam, since it sounds terrible vs Venus.
Just ordered this one since my Romer-G equipped Gpro started breaking off keycaps and we can't get any replacements here. Logitech doesn't even cover it under their support page anymore lmao. Last time I got anything with proprietary keycaps. Can't wait to try out the ducky mecha.
I hate that the shine thru keycaps have those inconsistencies. My AP2 keycaps does not have those.
This is ideal for me. I use a Razer Gaming Keypad exclusively for gaming and hardly use my oversized keyboard at all.
Is ducky better than the Apex Pro TKL with omnipoint adjustable switch?
just get hot swappable keyboard and custom switches. huge chance you wont use the adjustability. plus you can get good switches not just cherry
I got apex pro ngl it’s the best keyboard i have ever used
@@busu7929 i am going To get it for xmas
Have had both but I second the hot swappable keyboard like the GMMK you can try what ever switch you want and hands down will be the best keyboard you will ever own.
@@cowbird6955 smart answer mate see your a person of culture.
star lord is that you ?
Was this keyboard suppose to come with backlit spare keycaps? Mine didn’t and the customer support from mechanical keyboards told me it wasn’t. Kinda bummed because I wanted the backlit arrow keys
I really want that trick or treat spacebar
That unboxing ASMR tho ❤️!
So technically speaking the one 2 MECHA MINI is basically the same thing as the ONE 2 MINI just a couple of asthetic changes? And I’m new to keyboard and mouse so I’m just trying to see what a better choice would be.
Meanwhile I have a compact board and wish I had sprung for a larger one.
I don't really get most newer mechanical board reviews though. Even most $30 boards are heavy as hell, made of metal, can't be bent, have shine-through keys, etc. It's difficult to make a case for expensive boards unless they have a real identity like this does.
bro when i first heard about this board i said the same thing, GIVE ME MECHA SF
i really want the mecha tkl
Would have gone for the mecha mini, but the one 2 mini just sounds better imo, and that's a huge deal for me. The mecha mini had a thinner sound, while the one 2 mini had a fuller and more satisfying sound.
