Do these new Ducky One 3 series (60/65/TKL etc) boards still have the mouse feature in the firmware using function + WASD keys to use your mouse cursor? and Q key for left click and E key for mouse right click. Use this feature on my old one 2 mini alot for working on servers etc.

@@cait. the right 2u shift is an odd size. It's the same size as the enter key. It's typically 3u so finding the right size keycap set to fit is going to take some searching. Typically sets that have the extended amount of mods will typically have a 2u right shift.

One thing worth pointing out is that ducky is one of the very few manufacturers offering high polling rates alongside hot-swap sockets. That for me is huge, and puts the one 3 above much more expensive "custom" kits.
Glad I used your code at MK! Love your reviews. It definitely feels like the Year of the Rat board for 2020 was Ducky's way of testing the waters for hotswap. I actually love the sound of the plastic case there and watching this review really reassures my preorder
I like that a lot of the more enthusiast aimed features are leaking out to the general consumer base

For anyone considering the Ducky SF, you can substitute the numberpad Zero key for the right shift. Numberpad 1u keys can also substitute in for the Mods and the right side PgDn key. Not ideal, but workable.

I just bought the TKL version of this. The colors were what grabbed me, but being hotswappable sealed the deal as soon as i saw i could get it with stock blue switches. Its my first actual Mechanical keyboard purchase, coming from a Keychron K1 that was gifted to me
5:52 B-roll ouuu that setup is FIRE. Great review as always B
nicely done review, good work BadSeed.
wow Badseed looking good, got muscle and that beard is on point! Good for you man reminds me I need to workout.
My One2 Mini is such a blast for the price with a little homework to lube the switch. I am really eager to see full white version of the One3 iteration in ISO-FR. Real talk Ducky, when do you plan to offer a 75% ? That's the trending layout for 2022.
Finally a hot-swap! Been waiting for that forever from Ducky! But yeah the color schemes are a little interesting. Maybe in the future, they'll make more classic colors?
For being a case that’s hot swappable, the case material should be more rugged since opening it up is implied.
I got a Ducky a while back since I didn't have the money to get a custom, but wanted a nice mechanical board to hold me over for the time being. For sure wish this was available back then, though I'm hoping they introduce more colors
this keyboard would look so good with the cordura endgame gear mousepad, with them both having yellow & blue on them!
Keep up the great content as always! Looking forward to upgrading to this version of Ducky keyboard. Currently have the One 2 SF. But, the hot swappable is very appealing.

Pre ordered the SF 3 days ago. Can't wait until January 6th!
I would take the sf over the mini anytime.. As always great review! Lezzgooo!!!
The one big headscratcher to me are the color variants available at launch. Particular as the German importer asks for an extra 40-50 € for the blue and yellow versions, which are the only ones I could see myself buying.
i have been waiting for this video for a few weeks now.
Now most switches are fine with cherry keycaps on north facing LEDs, like the Gateron Yellow, and since this is a relatively "cheap" board, I think most people buying this would buy a budget switch like the gateron yellow and it would be fine.
Hey Badseed great video! Do you have any shine-through keycap recommendations for this board? Thinking of getting a set!
The colored kailh hot swap sockets are the new version which are rated for more hot swap cycles
Just swapped to Akko Jelly Starfish switches and they really shine in this keyboard
For anyone curious/hesitant, per some Q&A in Ducky's Discord server neutral colorways for the One 3 will come next year (2022)

Hey man, was wondering what switch puller youve been using? thinking of maybe making my first build and trying to piece together the cost of everything that I should get before I pull the trigger
I hate that the white plate gets scratched but you don't even see it when the keycaps go on and it does make the rgb shine brighter.
Great video! Trying to open my ONE 3 SF as well, how did you take off the side plate?
I’d have to grab one to try it but I love the Hotswap feature. What I don’t love is their no communication approach to explaining why there’s still no “promised software” despite that now we have a new board. So I’m thinking it was bull. And also with testing they’ve shown to cheapen out on board components having some of the worse latency on any keyboard in this sector and while it may not matter. It’s the moderate price increases with cheapening parts used and decreasing performance. They’re just another one of the mains now and kind of always were.

Would you go for the One 3 SF or rk61 and mod it, if you wanna begin modding and building custom keyboards? Or would you build your own one for about 150-200$ in price range? I'm thinking about getting a pre-built or building my own.
I'm currently rocking the Ducky Mecha Mini with silent red. I was looking forward for that new One 3 SF, but it doesn't seem to be a big upgrade(hot swap switch is not needed for me). Which one do you recommand for an out of the box SF keyboard?
Im about to buy a Ducky One 3, your review seems interesting and im also looking for a full sized keyboard, will be using your affiliate link. Wondering what would you suggest switches with the intention of replacing the keycaps with translucent in the near future, so a switch that dont block the north facing led? I was thinking - Tealios v2 67g - Durock L2 Clear 62g - Everglide Aqua King Water King v3 Clear 62g still open to suggestions....

"It cannot control ping on these switches" - I understand you are saying this to warn buyers, however, while it's true that case dampening can mitigate the phenomenon on certain switches, the only surefire way to remove switch ping is to lubricate the springs. As always, love the content, love that glorious beard!
So I just got the SF. Got some MX Reds that are surprisingly smooth compared to my other MX Reds, but you think I should throw in some Aqua Kings...or is that overkill?
your voice is so calming lol
Would love to hear your thoughts on the newer Gateron Ink Box switches.
Hey BadSeed, would you be able to confirm if the PCB of the Ducky One 3 Mini fits into the Ducky Mecha Mini? I would SOOO strongly appreciate you checking. It would mean the world to me!

Hi does the ducky one 3 series support screw in stabs?
Hi BadSeed, would you recommend I get the One 3 SF or the Streak65 LP? I'm stuck between the two.
I can speak from experience from modding a full size one 2. Opening it is not fun and the problem doesnt seem to be fixed on this newer revision. Ducky should really consider using screws instead of plastic tabs.
Most people who buy these premade keyboards like me would never mod it or lube it etc we just stick to stock for various reasons. (My reason I can't be bothered) If I bought this it would be with Cherry Silvers I need speed.
Yes definitely wish the color combos were more neutral
It looks amazing and sounds good too but they need to make an all white and all black one
My son has asked for a Ducky One 2 Mini got Xmas. Is this replacing it as I’d prefer to get the newer version? Thanks for the vid.
Honestly. I am waiting for the Wooting 60. That's probably gonna be my endgame gaming keyboard. Still will enjoy my custom keeb.
North-facing switches was the right move for this keyboard. Ducky is known for having some of the brightest and most vibrant RGB in the keyboard market so it make sense to have features that compliment their value prop. This board is for people coming from Razer or Corsair and just want something a little more premium or different, not enthusiasts. People that plan on doing heavy modding and swapping out the stock keycaps for some GMK aren't (or is no longer) part of Ducky's target demographic anyway.
I’m new to customizing keyboard and I wouldn’t want it consider this a custom but I want to get the pure white one 3 sf in white and get the ducky joker keycap set so I can put some of the caps and have a purple pink blue and white keyboard. You mentioned interference, would that key cap set be able to fit on the keys (Ik the right shift is a different shape tho) but would I be able to put at least some of those caps on there?
I think is worth the extra 30-40 to go with the Keychron Q2 when released.
I like how he said if you lub the things it would make it sound better and when he did it. it sounded no different.
Would you still recommend this keyboard over other pre-built TKL keyboards?
Damn. Almost perfect for me.. I prefer cherry profile keycaps. If only they were south facing led’s
I think matcha is quite nice. I don't understand the pink+blue. I wish we'd just go pink all the way or pink+white.
I really want to get this keyboard but the design consideration for the arrow keys section looks like an afterthought, like the designer was designing a smaller keyboard and remembered that it needed arrow keys.
The yellow one looks amazing
MECHA SF Come on already!!! Been waiting for years now!
As much as I want this, is the ducky one2 still a solid unit for 2021/22 at a discounted price?
great moves all around from ducky, but it still doesnt make me want to buy a ducky over the glorious gmmk compact which is just straight up cheaper and way more customizeable
Kind of off topic but you look healthy man. Not sure if you've made changes but keep it up if so.
wait what did you do exactly to make the keyboard sound like that on 4:47? did you lube it?
Can you compare between fnatic streak 65 lp and onikuma g29? Nobody on youtube has reviewed the onikuma g29 yet. The onikuma g29 is also wireless/wired. Im very interested in low profile mech keyboards atm.
any idea when more neutral colour versions will release?
Not gonna lie, I’ve been into customs for a while, but Ducky boards still always excite me. Just a warm reminder of where I started in the keyboard community, and this new entry hotswap is really cool.
I have Ducky one 2 sf white, do you think I can buy this and switch just pcb to have all white hot swapable?
Not a huge fan of Ducky boards but watching in support of great content and my love of keyboards lol 👏🏼 great work brother!
I’m currently really struggling to choose between this ducky or the streak65 low profile thanks to those videos. I’m use to normal pbt keycaps like the ducky but not sure if low profile worth a try or not when you are gaming with the keyboard. Normal pbt keycaps are so satisfaying to play with but low profile seems so easy and classy at the same time!

I have bright blue(riviera blue is best blue) keycaps and wire. With gold accents on the cable and a couple keycaps(actually metal) with a white and gold case. Idk why people want a gray,/white/black keyboard. That's what all electronics ever comes in. Live a little.
