Ducky One 2 Mini Keycaps

Many times, this right shift is 1.75u rather than the full 2.75u of a standard layout. In specific keyboards such as the Ducky One 2 SF and the Womier K66, the right shift is 2u.

When buying keycaps for ergo mechanical keyboards, be sure to check the keycaps. Oftentimes, a full-sized keycap set with different sized shift keys will be able to make the fit. It might look strange putting a shift on a spacebar key, but it’ll at least cover the space available.

Jake has been an avid mechanical keyboard user for the past six years. He has a background in Mechanical Engineering and wants to apply his expertise to break down how mechanical keyboards and other tech work to show the world all of the cool aspects of the hobby.

These mechanical keyboards often have split spacebar modules on each side, which can hold different functions (space, shift, fn, etc) which means you’ll need to order keycaps with these unique sizes. When you’re looking for keycaps for these mechanical keyboards, there is often information on the size of each specific key because of the uniqueness of the design.Other keys to lookout for include the bottom right modifier keys. On some keyboards such as the Keychron K6, they are smaller to include room for the arrow cluster. Smaller mechanical keyboards tend to have more keys that allow you to change layers to access other functions. In this case, the K6 has a 1u Win, Fn1, and Fn2.On the product page, you can see the sizes specifically stated for the hot-swappable PCB and the solderable PCB. Depending on the options you choose, there is the option to do a split backspace, split left spacebar, and more.

These kits often enable you to pick and purchase an additional spacebars set. They also allow you to buy novelty keycaps, which often have a related symbol to the theme of the keycap set rather than a letter or number.

There are many vendors where you can check for keycaps and purchase them. We use the following resources to keep track of mechanical keyboard and keycap group buys:

For Mac keycaps, the possibilities are quite limited. KBDFans sells a PBT Mac Compatibility kit, and it offers the Option and Command keys in several different sizes. If you are looking for backlit Mac keycaps, there are two different options.Keyboards in this category include Keychron K2, K4, and K6. It also includes mechanical keyboards such as the Drop ALT, Akko 3068, Magicforce 82, Vortexgear Race 3, Drevo Excalibur, iQuinix F96, Leopold FC660M, Leopold FC980M, and more. Keyboards that have a more compact design such as 65%, 75%, or 96% layouts often have a smaller right shift to have room for the arrow cluster. These layouts are more unique and require different keycap sizes that differ from the standard layout. In addition, some of the keys will be on different rows, so the heights may be a little off if you are not using a uniform keycap profile. For example, ergo keyboards will often need 5 small stabilizers. The keycaps that go over those keys can vary. Oftentimes, with big group buy kits, you can pick an included ergo and spacebars kit to make sure that you have all of the keys you need. With all of the different mechanical keyboard sizes, it is difficult to find keycaps that will fit your keyboard. Some keyboards have smaller modifier keys, special right shift keys, weird spacebars, unique enter keys, and split backspace. The possibilities are endless. When looking for keycaps that will fit your mechanical keyboard, it is important to know what to look for. When looking at the different key designs you may find that a split spacebar or backspace may be what you want to go with. We’ll talk about how to find a keycap set that works with one of these designs.

You can check if a keycap set will fit your mechanical keyboard by checking the layout of your keyboard, knowing the size of special keys such as space, shift, backspace, enter, and the bottom row keys such as Ctrl, Alt, Win, and Fn. Some keyboards need extra keys or smaller keys than a standard layout.These keycaps can be easier to find and fit than split spacebars. Many keycap sets come with ISO-compatible keys. For the split backspace, finding a 1.5u backspace may be difficult. However, changing the backspace to two 1u keys (probably delete and another key) is easy since those keys already come in a standard set.

When buying pre built mechanical keyboards from these companies, be wary of the keycap sizes if you plan on replacing the keycaps in the future with different aesthetics.Many companies use non-standard bottom rows in their keyboard designs. The reason is unknown, but it makes finding fitting keycap sets and replacing the keycaps quite difficult. On many custom mechanical keyboards, you have the option to have a split spacebar or not. Having a split spacebar enables you to add keys that you press often such as Shift or FN to a space that is accessible by one of your thumbs. Some examples of mechanical keyboards with a standard layout include: Razer Huntsman TE, Ducky One 2 Mini, Anne Pro 2, Durgod Taurus K320 TKL, HyperX Alloy Origins Core, Keychron K8, Kemove Snowfox/Shadow, Drop CTRL, and more.

To check if a new set of keycaps will fit your keyboard, you should check if your keyboard is in the standard layout, or else you may run into some issues. When people refer to a standard layout, they mean the key sizes of the full-sized, tenkeyless, or 60% mechanical keyboard. When looking at this infographic from our Keyboard Size Guide, you can see how consistent the key sizes are for the 60%, full-size, and tenkeyless layouts.When checking if your keyboard is standard layout, you mainly need to look at the bottom row key sizes. For the standard layout, the bottom row keys are typically 1.25u, and the spacebar is typically 6.25u. Before buying a keycap set, always double check the keycap sizes.

There are some full-sized mechanical keyboards by companies such as Razer, Logitech, and Corsair where the bottom row is referred to as “non-standard.” This means that it does not fit the sizes listed above and needs specially sized keycaps. Keyboard.University has a super easy to use printable keycap ruler that you can print out and then match your keycaps on top to see what size they are.An ergonomic keyboard is great for those who want to type in a ergonomic and safe way for their bodies, but unfortunately, they do make buying a new set of keycaps quite difficult. Ergo layouts refer to mechanical keyboards that are split such as Alice-style layouts, the ErgoDox, Corne, X-Bows, and more. A split left shift often fits ISO layout mechanical keyboards. For an in-depth explanation of ANSI vs ISO keyboard layouts, see this article we wrote here. When using left shift, your pinky finger may not need all of that space. In many languages, additional letters or symbols are needed and thus can be fit in that area. Finding budget keycap sets for this is difficult. These keycaps are often available in only custom keycap sets sold during group buys, such as GMK, JTK, ePBT, etc.

A super unique functionality is that you’re able to play a few games on the keyboard itself. There is an option to play minesweeper or a gambling style game. If you’re interested, I recommend trying it out.

Being able to easily swap out the switches with no soldering required is great for those who want to test different switch options and find the perfect feel.

The extra keycaps made my mind jump with the possibility of a customized design. Being able to configure the keyboard to your own preferences is awesome.

Instead of the usual black-on-black color, the stabilizers have a blue housing and gray stem. This color jumps out at you and shows the eye for detail that Ducky has.

Coming loaded down with awesome features such as RGB lighting, extremely powerful firmware, customizable PBT keycaps, and a beautiful case design – I was hooked.

The keycaps also have sub-legends written on the front that correspond to each of the functions available on the lower layer. This is very helpful for when you want to access these commands.

Compared to many new mechanical keyboards, the Ducky One 2 Mini seems to be lacking in features such as hot-swappability, wireless capabilities, and Mac/Windows compatibility.

It is possible to buy this prebuilt already with their ABS doubleshot keycaps and Gateron/Kailh switches for around the same price as the One 2 Mini here on Amazon.We still recommend getting a Ducky One 2 Mini, as you can’t beat the detailed programming and design, but the keyboard is really starting to show its age. Ducky provides a few useful tools such as a keycap puller and a dust cover which makes changing out the keycaps and protecting the keyboard from accumulating dust a breeze. The colors can be adjusted via using FN + Alt + Z/X/C to cycle through different levels of red, blue, and green brightness to pick the color that you want. Each color has 10 levels.The keyboard has a unique two-color appearance and comes with eye-catching accessories such as a stylized spacebar in the zodiac year and some extra keycaps in a random color.

The mounting plate of most keyboards is aluminum to ensure a sturdy build and to reduce flex. It would’ve been nice if the Ducky One 2 Mini also had an aluminum plate.

OEM-profile keycaps are a sculpted keycap profile, which means that the height varies between different rows, and it is designed to decrease the distance you need to stretch your fingers when typing and gaming.The One 2 Mini also stores profiles for macros and RGB completely on the board itself, so you don’t have to have any specific software open to use all of your personalized functions. The lighting effects can be controlled completely on the keyboard itself through its firmware. With the white backplate, the lights bounce back up, shining the side-printed legends as well cleanly through the doubleshot keycaps. Another way to edit the RGB effects is through per key customization. This involves a series of steps, but after doing it once, it’s not all too complicated.The secondary layer and RGB lighting are not intuitive to use, so we highly recommend getting the user’s manual to test out all of the different functions. The fourth DIP switch changes between standard mode and display mode. By default, it is turned on standard mode. Standard mode means that the keyboard works like a keyboard. In display mode, typing on it and pressing buttons does nothing. It displays all of the RGB lighting on spectrum cycling. Kailh Speed Pro Burgundy is a speed switch as well. It is a linear switch that has less actuation and total distance than typical Cherry switches. However, it is a slightly heavier linear than Cherry MX Red.

The Ducky One 2 Mini can still be worth it if you put build quality, customizable keycaps, and programmable layers above all else, but if you want wireless, hot-swappable, or Windows/Mac compatibility, check out some other product offerings.In the age where people want to be able to swap out their switches without desoldering and type wirelessly while changing between their Window’s computer and Apple iPad, the Ducky One 2 Mini is starting to show its weaknesses.

With software, things can be easily changed through some mouse clicks. With the firmware, you have to learn the firmware and button combinations and different methods to change what you want to.

As explained in the manual, it starts off by holding a series of keys to turn on edit mode. After that, you have two different profiles to pick from (1 and 2).The extra keycaps that come with the keyboard are also doubleshot, shinethrough PBT. The additional keycaps are: enter, backspace, two logo keys, arrows for I/J/K/L, and the Zodiac year spacebar.Even if you were to change out the keycaps, it would be easy because the Ducky One 2 Mini has a standard 60% layout with no surprises in keycap sizing.

The design is a bezel design without floating keycaps. Even if you just throw this keyboard into your bag or backpack, it’s unlikely that a keycap will rattle its way off of a switch. This can occur on other boards that do have a floating keycap design.

The Cherry MX options are black, brown, blue, silver, red, and silent red (for an additional few dollars). The Kailh switch options are BOX white, speed copper, and speed pro burgundy.

Betty has been using mechanical keyboards since 2014. She has experience as a pediatric occupational therapist and helped start Switch and Click to learn more as well as help people enter the mechanical keyboard hobby and learn more about peripherals as a whole.That being said, the keyboard still has knockout features such as doubleshot PBT keycaps, a detachable USB-C cable, highly customizable keys and macros with firmware to boot, variety of options of Cherry MX switches, and a sleek and clean design.

We received our spacebar in the Year of the Rat edition, but to be completely honest, we thought it was a rabbit until we looked up the Zodiac calendar.The One 2 Mini almost has a floating keycap design, but the shallow bezel around the edge of the keyboard says otherwise. Overall, the One 2 Mini looks quite nice and we enjoy the aesthetic design.

The RGB does have 15+ preset effects, but there is no per-key lighting editing that you can do. This keyboard sits under the price of the Ducky One 2 Mini as well. Many gamers prefer to flip the spacebar for the better feel, but with the Zodiac spacebar, it will reverse the lettering and design on the spacebar, which can be a turn off to some. However, there are more budget-friendly mechanical keyboards that offer what the Ducky offers and more (with the exception of the fancy spacebar and strong onboard firmware).The Ducky One 2 Mini remains one of the top 60% mechanical keyboards to this day. The keyboard set the standard for compact keyboards when it was released and only just now the competition is starting to get an edge on them.

The second DIP switch switches between N-key rollover and 6-key rollover. There aren’t many reasons to go to 6-key rollover. N-key rollover means that you can press a bunch of keys at once, and your keyboard will register them accurately.This keyboard sits at just under $90 in most places. If you are interested in checking out this keyboard, see it here on Amazon for an affordable price.

The GMMK Compact is also a 60% mechanical keyboard. It is more budget-friendly if you choose the barebones option (which comes with no keycaps or switches).For many, soldering/desoldering is not feasible due to the equipment and time required to do so. For that reason we recommend trying out the following mods where soldering is not required.

Overall, this keyboard has some of the best lighting customization options I’ve seen. Without software, it can do per-key editing with no problems at all. It has the special feature of storing up to 2 custom color profiles onboard as well.The switches cannot be seen from the side, which looks sleek, which also allows you to not see any dust and hair that fall into the crevices. However, when dust and hair do fall in, it will be a bit harder to clean up.

The keycaps have clean legends with solid letters. Most cheaply made doubleshot keycaps will have spaces in the lettering to save on manufacturing costs, but Ducky opted for the higher-end design.This is a vast variety of switch options, and there is an option for everybody and their needs, whether it be gaming, typing, productivity, or anything computer-related.

As mentioned before, although the Ducky One 2 Mini is still an awesome keyboard, it does lack some much-needed features. Here are a few alternative options we recommend.Due to its small size, design, and detachable cable, the Ducky One 2 Mini is extremely easy to carry around to other places, whether it be tournaments, a friend’s house, school, library, or coffee shop.

This keyboard has hot-swappable sockets, Bluetooth 5.1, and compatibility with Mac and Windows via the flip of a switch. It comes with a braided USB-C cable, and extra keycaps for Mac. PBT plastic is generally rougher and less prone to shine than ABS plastic keycaps. Big brand prebuilt mechanical keyboards typically come with ABS plastic keycaps, which attract oils quickly and feel smooth to the touch. Kailh BOX White is a clicky switch that uses the clickbar mechanism to produce its click. This means that it clicks on the way up and the way down, and it is a very crispy and clean click. Box switches are also dustproof and waterproof due to their design.Another easy method is to press FN + Alt + Spacebar, which shows you the color palette. Each key will glow a different color, press the key associated to the color that you want to change to that color.

Precis samma som det svarta alternativet. Googlar jag på samma tangenter (DKSA109-FIPDWNNO2) är även de med backlit stöd (for backlit keyboards). Ljuset går igenom bokstäverna dvs. Tack för svar, Anton

Hej Robin! Både ja och nej. Den kommer att fungera på i stort sätt alla tangenter förutom funktionsknapparna längst ner till höger mellan mellanslag och piltangenterna då GMMK PRO är ett 75% så är utformningen annorlunda. Ha det gott!

Hej, Det finns flera olika versioner utav det tangentbordet. För att kunna svara på detta rekommenderar jag att återkoppla till oss med en bild på tangentbordet på [email protected] Vänligen,

Här kan du ställa frågor om produktens funktioner och kompabilitet. Vi uppmanar vårt kunniga community att bidra med sin kunskap genom att svara på frågorna.Det finns olika layouts på Varmilo tangentbord, det beror på din layout om det kommer passa eller ej. Om du har en 65% storlek med liten höger-shift så kanske det inte passar.Hej Anton, Ledsen om vi var otydliga. På vit och svart färg så lyser belysningen genom på trycket men på Joker-edition och Ultra Violett gör det inte det. Vänligen,

Tjena! Det kommer fungera utmärkt. Det som ofta kan strula är raden längst ner. Exempelvis brukar Corsair använda andra storlekar så där hade det inte fungerat.

Ett tips är att kolla på ditt tangentbord och jämför med bilderna om det är samma layout. Om layouten stämmer så ska de säkert passa, sålänge ditt razer tangentbord har cherry compatible stems.Hej! Vi kan tyvärr inte garantera att alla keycaps passar på ditt tangentbord. Beställer du hem det och det visar sig att det inte passar så kan du alltid göra ett återköp inom 30 dagar. Tjena, jag har ett likadant tangentbort i Full-Size (är inte säker på om du har) Väntar också på Ducky’s Keycaps i Vitt. Just nu använder jag keycapsen från mitt gamla Razer blackwidow tangentbord och dem passar perfekt förutom min space som trycks ner ganska trögt, därför har jag lagt den åt sidan. Vad jag ser på bilden så borde dem flesta tangenterna av Ducky’s keycaps passa men det kanske blir ett problem vid (ALT-GR, Windows knappen, FN och CTRL vid piltangenterna. Just dem keycapsen jag använder från mitt tangentbord är lite mindre vid just det området men det kanske funkar. Jag har lagt en beställning på Duckys vita och tänkte blanda dem tangenterna jag har nu med Ducky’s så det blir lite White & Black aktigt 🙂 Tjena! Dem kommer inte passa till Ducky one 2 SF. SF tangenbordet har lite annorlunda ALT/Fn tangenteter som gör att dessa inte kommer få plats. Vänligen,

Om du är i behov av personlig rådgivning alternativt har generella frågor om exempelvis pris, leveranstid etc. så är du istället varmt välkommen att kontakta vår kundservice. Hej! Nej tyvärr inte denna knapp funkar inte heller. För att göra det enkelt att förklara så är den högra shift-tangenten samma storlek som caps lock- tangenten på ett Ducky One 2 SF. Tjabba! Skulle ni kunna förklara hur ni kan sätta ”i lager”-datum flertalet gånger då det i detta fall aldrig stämmer nu under corona-pandemin? Vad får ni veta av er mellanhand? Det är som att de sägs att något är skickat i leden men egentligen är det inte ens något producerat än? Ni får gärna förklara då ”i-lager”-datum verkligen inte stämmer, och har inte gjort det senaste (4?) datum som uppdaterats tidigare? Undantaget inkommande 20/8 då ni sa ”preliminärt” datum i mailutskicket. Jag hade jättegärna letat alternativ, men det är nästintill omöjligt om man vill ha backlit ISO Nordic PBT keycaps i något annat än rent svart.

Setet är ANSI (us) layout så det passar inte eller ”passar inte” – ANSI Enter passar inte å Left Shift passar inte men resten ska passa å så finns ju inte Ö,Å å Ä på keycapsen. Andra tecken kan osså vara olika.Razer keyboards are designed primarily for gaming use, so they often outperform Ducky’s models in terms of latency. However, Ducky’s keyboards are a bit more versatile thanks to their switch options and typing experience, making them a better choice if you’re looking for one keyboard for both working and gaming. However, Razer keyboards have software for in-depth customization, while only a few Ducky models have companion software that only allows you to adjust the RGB backlighting. You can see our recommendations for the best Razer keyboards here.Overall, Ducky produces highly customizable keyboards, and you can purchase them in several color variants, giving your gaming setup a unique aesthetic. They have outstanding typing quality, which is great if you also want to use them for the office, and they’re very well-made. These qualities all but guarantee that you can find a Ducky keyboard that suits your needs.Keychron has an extensive lineup of mechanical keyboards in different form factors, switch types, and layouts. They have many more models available than Ducky. They’re more productivity-focused and feature wireless connection options, while Ducky keyboards are wired-only models designed primarily for gaming. You can check our recommendations for the best Keychron keyboards here.

Jan 17, 2023: We’ve confirmed all our choices are in stock and remain the best picks for each category, and we’ve added a new segment with information on how Ducky keyboards compare to those from Keychron. We’ve also adjusted some of our phrasings and made some minor tweaks for clarity. Sep 19, 2022: Overhauled article to better reflect the current Ducky lineup of products and align with user expectations. Updated the compared to sections for relevance and added a new ”con” about purchasing availability. At a mid-range price point, we recommend the Ducky One 3. This keyboard comes in a variety of expressive colorways as well as several sizes, including a (60%) and TKL (80%), both of which are great for gaming. There’s also a full-size (100%) classic model if you require a Numberpad. As an improvement over our best pick, the Ducky Shine 7, this keyboard has improved latency for even more responsive in-game performance. It also has a hot-swappable circuit board, so you can change the stock switches by simply popping them out with the included switch puller and replacing them with your preferred switches to customize your typing experience.Shine Series: The Shine series is Ducky’s flagship product line, with a zinc alloy top case and shine-through keycaps. They’re available in many colorways and with various Cherry MX switch types, but only in a full-size form factor.

Logitech’s range of products is significantly wider than Ducky’s, as Logitech makes budget-friendly scissor-switch boards, high-end mechanical gaming units, and everything in between. Logitech also makes wireless units, while Ducky only makes wired-only keyboards. That said, while similar across models, Ducky’s keyboards have higher build quality as they use PBT keycaps, and their keyboards rarely suffer from deck flex. If you’d like to compare the brands’ offerings, check out our recommendations for the best Logitech keyboards here.If you want to spend a little less, we recommend the Ducky One 2 Mini V1. While it may be an older model, it’s far from obsolete. This compact unit has even better latency than the newer Ducky One 2 Mini V2, though not quite as low as the latency on our mid-range pick, the Ducky One 3, so it isn’t as well-suited to competitive, reaction-based games. Still, it’s perfectly fine for casual gaming or regular productivity tasks. Like the other keyboards in this list, this one still offers the same solid build quality and provides a satisfying typing experience. Despite its compact size, it doesn’t feel cramped to type on since the keys are very well-spaced.Ducky manufactures gaming peripherals with its primary focus on mechanical keyboards. Their keyboards are highly customizable, and you can purchase them in various switch types from popular manufacturers, including Cherry MX, Gateron, TTC, and Kailh. Ducky keyboards stand out against the competition with their unique and colorful aesthetics, often including Chinese zodiac-branded spacebars. Most of their keyboards have very similar features and are available in various sizes, from 60% compact to full-sized variants. However, Ducky lags behind other companies in terms of dedicated software, as they’ve only recently released software to customize the RGB lighting but lack software that allows for more thorough customizations like macro programming or key remapping.

One Series: Ducky’s One series is a mainstay in their lineup, with higher-numbered models indicating a newer generation model. They’re available with a wide range of Cherry MX switch types, colorways and in full-size, TKL, or compact (65%) and (60%) form factors.The standout feature of this keyboard is its versatility. Its latency is incredibly low and well-suited to competitive games, making this a great choice if you want one keyboard for both work and play. It’s also one of the few units from Ducky to have dedicated companion software. While this software is limited to changing the RGB backlighting, it still offers more in-depth customization than hotkeys. However, while many keyboards in Ducky’s lineup have a hot-swappable circuit board, the Shine 7 doesn’t. You’ll likely want to find a variant of the board with your preferred switch style since changing the switches requires you to take apart the keyboard, de-solder the old switches, and resolder new ones.Zero Series: The Zero series is the entry-level product line in Ducky’s lineup. Zero models are cheaper than the One Series keyboards, but that’s reflected in their inferior build quality and non-detachable USB cable.Other major companies, like Razer and Logitech, have bigger lineups than Ducky. However, you know what you’re getting with a Ducky keyboard since most are similar; they’re all well-built, and quality control is excellent. Ducky offers more customization options in terms of aesthetics and switch types. If you don’t mind the lack of dedicated software, Ducky’s options are as good as the competition’s.

May 04, 2022: Replaced the Ducky One 2 RGB TKL with the Ducky One 3 as ’Best Ducky Keyboard For Gaming’ as the One 3 has better latency and is more readily available.
