In the mechanical keyboard, Ducky, also known as Magic Duck, also has the nickname of "Lamp Factory". Cool lighting effects and various commemorative limited editions are the hot topics of the discussion. What about a Ducky mini with cool lighting effects, dual color lights, metal shell and 60% keys for the first time?

For Ducky fans, this new product is a little special and innovative. It is far from the previous one in terms of packaging design or keyboard body upgrade. If Ducky's previous products all had a strong Japanese style of simplicity, then this time the Ducky mini and Legend are fashionable and sharp.

Back to Ducky mini, this is the first 60% keyboard of Ducky, and it also looks fashionable and mini in packaging design. Moreover, the fashionable and mysterious design and the special duckling logo show a special preference for them.

On the side are various detailed introductions. At the moment when RGB lights are hot, Ducky mini adopts the design of two-color lights due to the axial body. Although red and blue are not as cool and colorful as RGB lights, they are also more interesting than ordinary LED lights. In addition, Dukcy mini is currently available in gray and silver, and has a redesigned limited edition of the Year of the Horse, with a total of three options.

In terms of parts, the Ducky mini is a little luxurious this time. In addition to the necessary warranty card and instructions, there are also a wealth of replaceable key caps and dust covers. Of course, this time it should be noted that since Ducky mini has many adjustable and switchable functions, it is necessary to refer to the manual more.

Ducky mini is a 60% keyboard with standard keys. In terms of overall appearance design, it does not continue the traditional Japanese simple appearance. The shell structure of the metal sandwich, the surface sanding treatment and the design of the small handle make the Ducky mini different from its own products.

If it is a pure metal controller, you may be slightly disappointed after carefully playing Ducky mini. The Ducky mini is not a completely metal shell, but a sandwich structure. Of course, in pursuit of pure metal texture, you can choose the limited edition of the Year of the Horse. In addition, another key function of Ducky mini is that it has a large number of combination keys and function keys. Through smart and powerful customization functions, 60% of the keyboards can achieve 100% of the functions.

On the back of the Ducky mini, it seems that the metal nameplate is highly praised, but it is not interesting to use it without a tripod. There are only four large foot pads on the back of the Ducky mini, and there is no foot rest, which means that the Ducky mini can only be used flat under the setting.

Although the metal shell of Ducky mini has been extended in the hand position, which plays a role of hand support, the extremely flat placement position makes the hand feel less impressive.

Perhaps due to the sandwich structure, Ducky mini has relatively obvious gaps, which easily makes people think it is a problem of workmanship. At the same time, these gaps also represent that dust is easy to enter. The metal shell of Ducky mini uses sand blasting to show the sanding effect, which makes the touch feel rough.

Ducky mini uses the Cherry axis, so there is no need to say more about its feel and stability. In terms of large key positions, Ducky mini still adopts the satellite axis design, but in comparison, it no longer has the name of "meat duck", but appears more stable, and certainly has room for progress.

In terms of key cap, Ducky mini naturally uses word penetration design for backlighting, and the material is ABS. Although Ducky mini's key cap characters are still the UV processing process after laser engraving, its new technology, namely multi-layer ultra-thin UV coating technology, has greatly improved the hand feel and wear resistance.

At present, RGB lights are the busiest, but Ducky mini's dual color lights are not inferior. Compared with Cherry MX RGB, it does not need to make a big fight on PCB, and it can also avoid the cumbersome fault and after-sales treatment. Compared with Kaihua RGB, it can also avoid reconstruction of the axis. Of course, the 60000 colors that can be displayed by the dual color lamp are much less than the 16.7 million colors of RGB.

Ducky mini has a variety of light modes, including five light modes, namely, color mixing single lighting, random automatic color changing, color mixing customization, color changing breathing light and color mixing wave. In addition, Ducky mini has a large number of multimedia keys and full key customization functions, which are very powerful in playability. It has to be mentioned that Ducky mini can also simulate mouse movement, further enhancing 60% playability and portability.

Ducky mini is a landmark product of Ducky, or a sign of change. Whether it is a change in appearance design or the enhancement of internal functions, it is a masterpiece that connects the past and the future. In terms of functions, Ducky mini realizes 100% keyboard functions with 60% key position design, let alone simulating mouse sliding, which further improves usability.

In addition to various built-in key positions, Ducky mini also supports full key customization, which makes personalization a highlight. Although the metal shell design of Sandwich and the sanding effect of surface sandblasting are somewhat inferior, they are still excellent among the same products. Of course, its Cherry axis body and dual color lamp design also appear quite interesting.
