Ducky - One 2 Mini v2 RGB LED 60% Double Shot PBT Mechanical Keyboard

I'd recommend going to the mechanical keyboards subreddit and also use aliexpress for this. In the budget you mentioned I guess you might find a few on Aliexpress. Other option is you can try to find second hand mechanical keyboard in your local market. I found a really good ducky one 2 mini a while back under 8k while it usually goes for 20k+. Though I haven't found any good deal since YMMV.

Very neat, as a Q1 Max and Logitech Mx Keys Owner I can attest to their places on that suggestion list lol. \*Honorable mention to the Ducky One 2 Mini that got me into this whole thing ages ago\*.

I got the Mchose Jet 75 and I’m shocked how good it is for this price. I came from a Ducky one 2 mini.

I have at the moment a Ducky one 2 mini cherry red, I like the feel of the linear switches but I want to steer away from a full gaming keyboard to something more hybrid. That why I’m looking for linear switches, 65% and great for typing but not annoying when gaming.

Imo it is not even if it's better by any measurable data, but it feels so much better, for typing, for gaming etc. I went for a second hand Ducky One2 Mini that I have later sold and bought a Ducky Shine7 Both are so much better than my precious non mechanical keyboards. ( I've sold the One 2 Mini because I had the Speed Silver switches which were a bit too sensitive for my taste and also I prefer a full size keyboard vs a 60%)

I have a K65 I loooooved my mini Ducky! but I spilled beer on it and couldn't afford a new. sad face.

I got a second hand ducky one 2 and it's been great. Easy to clean and good build quality. No chattering issues as with the one 3.

If its for games recommend ducky 2

Been rocking a DuckyOne2 with Cherry Reds for a while now and I love it. I do miss my num pad but I’ve adjusted. I also wanted speed silvers but they weren’t in stock when I got it and I didn’t want to wait

> I'm just curious if there are any extra benefits of it over the normal keyboards. On some you can replace the underlying switch yourself so if the mechanical part of the key actually stops working you can just buy it and replace for much cheaper. > can everyone let me know mechanical keyboard is a hype or useful? At this point it's a "go test what feels right to you". Back in ye olden years it was some super expensive brand and cherry keys. Now you have tons and they all have different pressures. There's also several newer switch types: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESdu3D9R2xs It all literally comes down to personal preference. My current keyboard I bought 5 1/2 years ago in 2020. The one I was using up to then I bought in 2013 or earlier (email doesnt go back far enough lol). Both are Ducky brand. The 2013 version was a Ducky Shine 2, current is a Ducky One with red cherry switches. $120 for the keyboard. If you can I would **highly** recommend just hitting up a Bestbuy or other large-ish electronics retailer that sells keyboards. They usually have them on display and may even have test boards that use different switches.
