The Ducky One 3 in Detail
The
Ducky One 3 mechanical gaming keyboard is designed to give you the best typing experience possible. With a high-quality finish and trimmed for short response times, the Ducky One 3 offers gamers and keyboard enthusiasts a luxurious feeling when typing. Additionally, the switches are not soldered, instead they are mounted on sockets. This allows for effortless replacements.
This version of the Ducky One 3 is in the full-size form factor (100 %). It offers the full range of keys including the numeric keypad, position, and arrow keys. This makes it equally suitable for gaming and office applications.
Mechanical Switches in Detail: Cherry MX Brown
This version is equipped with Cherry MX Brown switches. Keyboards with these switches are a middle ground between a pure gaming keyboard and an ideal desktop keyboard. When pressing the keys, the user has to overcome a slight resistance, which provides a tactile feedback of the contact release. Since you can clearly feel the two very closely spaced switching points, you not only type noticeably faster, but can also trigger multiple clicks with very little stroke distance in succession.
QUACK Mechanics
With this keyboard, Ducky introduces its QUACK Mechanics design philosophy. They consider four essential aspects that are decisive for the typing feel: the keycaps, the casing, the sound, and the stabilizers.
That is why almost all variants of the Ducky One 3 offer high-quality keycaps made of PBT. The semi-crystalline plastic is particularly popular among keyboard modders because it is resistant to friction. Ducky casts the keycaps from two layers of plastic so that the key lettering is always clearly legible. The keycaps do not develop the shine common to other plastics, which is caused by intensive use. As a result, the keyboard looks new for a long time.
Flat casing and smooth sound
A frequent criticism of mechanical keyboards is their clunkiness. The newly developed casing of the Ducky One 3 is flatter than that of its predecessors and, with the three-stage feet, supports the wrist.
To improve the sound and typing feel, Ducky tested a total of 17 different rubber composites and selected the most suitable variant for the Q-Bounce pad. This is combined with an additional foam layer made of EVA to effectively dampen resonances when typing and hard keystrokes.
