Ducky One 2 Mecha Mini with Cherry MX blue (tactile clicky switches)
I thought the lack of dedicated arrow keys would be a problem but man, was I surprised with this keyboard.... Now can't go back to any other keyboard ever again.
It's compact, solid and heavy - has some really cool functions, lighting effects and hidden features. I use it mainly for programming and office communication.
This keyboard is metallic. It's meant to last a lifetime. Probably would go for a newer version of the same brand and model after a decade or so.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful keyboard @sidx64
. Also, has an interesting name. Could you expand a bit about the cool functions and hidden features?
The Keyboard has some interesting features, like 10 different customized lighting effects, 3 LED customization zones,
a light-based gaming mode (yes a minesweeper-type game is fully integrated into it).
It also has the ability to control your mouse to a good level of accuracy using the function+WASD keys.
While it does not have the arrow keys, you can still have them using function+IJKL keys.
Function key is a dedicated key on the bottom row (right) of the keyboard. Through the dip-switches, however, you can re-purpose the CapsLock key as a second function key (who uses capslock, anyway?)
It has a few dip-switches at the bottom that allow you to switch your buttons around (win-key type layout -> ctrl-win-alt - can be changed to mac cmd key layout -> ctrl-alt-cmd - if you're using this with a macbook, for instance)
It has a macro functionality, n-key rollover,anti-ghosting, and all the features you expect out of a full-fledged keyboard
The keyboard comes with a set of custom keycaps too.
@sidx64
is comfortable to use the IJKL keys with a function key so close to the corner? Yes, one thing that caught my attention is the mouse control, especially the R and F ones: seems very complete feature.
