The Ducky Cushion 98 combines a more compact 96% layout with an exceptionally soft typing feel. For this, Ducky relies on the specially developed Nest Mount and the quiet Ducky Shush Green switches. They provide noticeable feedback with every keystroke while remaining pleasantly subtle. This makes the mechanical gaming keyboard equally suitable for long typing sessions, everyday work, and extended gaming evenings.
- Compact 96% layout: Many functions of a full-size keyboard in a smaller footprint
- Soft keystroke: Ducky Nest Mount distributes cushioning evenly across the keyboard
- Quiet tactile switches: Ducky Shush Green with clearly perceptible feedback
- Hot-swap: Mechanical switches can be replaced without soldering
- Flexible connectivity: Choice of 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, or USB-C
The Ducky Cushion 98: Mechanical gaming keyboard with a special typing feel
The heart of the Ducky Cushion 98 is the Ducky Nest Mount. Instead of cushioning the keyboard only at certain points, a dedicated damping layer distributes pressure evenly over the board. This makes the keystroke feel soft and controlled. At the same time, typing noise is reduced. This tuning quickly becomes noticeable, especially if you type a lot or share your setup with others.
Ducky Shush Green: Quiet switches with noticeable feedback
The Ducky Shush Green switches have a tactile character. When pressed, you feel a distinct resistance, giving you precise feedback on when your input registers. The switches require 45 gf actuation force, actuate after 2 mm, and offer a total 4 mm key travel. Their integrated damping reduces noise when bottoming out the key without making the keystroke feel mushy.
Want a different typing feel later? No problem. The Ducky Cushion 98 features hot-swap sockets. This allows you to remove the mechanical switches without soldering and replace them with compatible models.
Two tunings for the Nest Mount
The aluminium top cover has a quick-release and can be opened without tools. Inside, you can switch between the two included damping layers. The pre-installed layer is softer, while the additional damping layer is firmer. This lets you adjust the keyboard’s typing feel to your preferences.
Compact 96% layout for work and gaming
- Space-saving Compact-980 layout
- Separate number pad retained
- PBT keycaps in Cherry profile
- South-facing per-key RGB lighting
The Ducky Cushion 98 uses a compact 96% layout. This gives you many functions of a large keyboard including a number pad, but takes up less space on your desk. This leaves more room for mouse movement during gaming. The PBT keycaps in Cherry profile are designed for fast typing and gaming.
Three connection options for your setup
You can connect the Ducky Cushion 98 in three ways: via 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, or USB-C. Up to four devices can be used via Bluetooth. The integrated battery has a capacity of 4,200 mAh and achieves a runtime of up to 63 hours with lighting turned off.
The gaming keyboard remains flexible even in configuration. Through the browser-based DuckyHub, you can set functions and lighting without needing to download additional software. Additionally, the Cushion 98 supports VIA.
