Ducky - One 3 Mini

both of these are several years old and technically outdated. i'd only consider them if they are heavily reduced in price (below 50$). they have a quite a pronounced "ping" sound and the stabs sound like a maraca very quickly

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

I’ve got a Ducky One 3 with Cherry MX Ergo Clear switches for everything but the space bar (which has a Silent Red instead). Keyboards are pretty personal and dependent on what you want (for example mine is tactile and mechanical). I recommend researching that and figuring out what you want rather than taking blind reccs. As for a mouse, I use a Naga Trinity but any MMO mouse or good mouse with customizable DPI will serve you well

Ducky one-3 and Phreeze rapid fire v3.

Logitech is a solid choise i have ducky one 3 myself (its a real product lol just sounds crazy)

I've had my Ducky One 2 for 6 years now, newest model is the One 3

> 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.
