Macro- & multimedia function buttons Mechanical Cherry MX Black Switches This grey Ducky One 2 TKL Skyline uses Cherry MX Black switches. Cherry MX Black switches are linear, non-tactile switches and as such are best suited to FPS games.

A tactical activation point is no required in FPS and as such is unnecessary, since the buttons are always fully activated in the heat of battle. The Cherry-MX Black switches come closest to rubberdome gaming keyboards in terms of their feel, however their high activation pressure offers a great deal more feedback. Functions & Features of the Ducky One 2 TKL Skyline Gaming Keyboard As in the case of the Ducky One 2, the TKL variant is also equipped with a powerful ARM-M3 micro- controller which reliably controls and stores the functions of the keyboard. Additionally, it optimises the communication between keyboard and PC while simultaneously enabling other functions, including the use of macros and profile memory. In addition to multimedia functions, Ducky Macro V2.0 also allows you to control the mouse pointer from the keyboard. Thanks to USB N-key rollover, any number of keys can be pressed simultaneously without causing 'ghosting' or other delays. Here the 1,000 Hz report rate of the USB port is of great help, sending data from the keyboard to the PC every millisecond.

Design, Aesthetics & Materials This Ducky keyboard utilises a dual-layer PCB to increase the service life of the keyboard while improving signal stability. The key caps are made of polybutylene terephthalate, or PBT for short, and are produced using the double-shot process meaning they are significantly more durable thankeys manufactured with ABS. In this process, plastic is poured around a shaped piece of metal or plastic so as to allow the two components to be joined together. The Ducky One 2 TKL Skyline has three positions to allow for the most ergonomic positioning and customisation, depending on the needs of the user: folded in, small feet, and large feet. The removable USB Type-C cable completes the keyboard. Technical Details:.

Introduction Ah, Ducky! It was nearly five years ago now since I first started looking into keyboards to replace OEM membrane ones, and due diligence was a must since I was blissfully ignorant of what my options were. Keyboards targeted at gamers were already present with Logitech and Razer doing great marketing and CORSAIR coming out with some new options people seemed to like. Ducky Channel International Co., or Ducky, as more popularly known by, had over 15 years in the game at that point, and their then recently announced Shine 3 keyboard seemed to be what everyone wanted. The world was smaller back then, however, with fewer retail channels carrying the brand that was seemingly a giant in Asia predominantly, so I went with another brand while continuing to question what could have been. In the years since, I have had my hands on over 100 different keyboards and things finally go full circle today with my first, but not last review of a Ducky keyboard.

Thanks again to Ducky for sending a sample for TechPowerUp to examine. As I mentioned before, Ducky is probably best associated with their high-end Shine series of keyboards, but they have a diverse portfolio, including non-keyboard product lines as well, to where I wanted to begin with their One series of keyboards instead—in particular, the One 2 (2nd iteration of the Ducky One series, if you will) lineup that has RGB-backlit, single-color-backlit, and non-backlit keyboards in both full size and TKL form factors. The specific sample I have here is the One 2 Skyline non-backlit keyboard that offers stock keycaps with a color scheme and a case to go along with it.
