Hi @maxdevjs ,

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.

Here's a full list of features of this keyboard: duckychannel.com.tw/en/Ducky-Mecha...

@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.
