I noticed that almost straight away because that’s my main keyboard so it’s a bit of a shame that I couldn’t slap these shiny new caps on my trusty board.

Inside the box you’ll find enough caps to swap out an entire full sized board or (obviously) something like a Ducky One 2 Mini, but to my dismay some of these sets (Horizon and Pudding) aren’t compatible with one of Ducky’s own keyboards, namely the One 2 SF. That’s all rather standard perhaps, but it does make the process of swapping them out a lot easier and intuitive for people who don’t know keyboard layouts by heart, as you can just work your way down the box and replace each individual key. The keycap sets come in a nice box that has ‘Ducky’ cut out on the front so you can see a glimpse of the actual product underneath and the caps themselves are nicely placed (in the correct layout) in a foam frame with a cardboard backing so you can take them out without making a mess. It allows me to test a wide variety of Ducky’s caps and it means that this new release should have a little something for everyone. These are all very different when it comes to feel and looks, and that’s a good thing.

Changes have been made to the conclusion part to reflect that.įor this review I received three different sets of keycaps: Ducky’s own take on pudding keycaps with a shine-through bottom part for maximum RGB gorgeousness, their new ABS double-shot Horizon SA profile keycaps, and an early version of their very own rubber caps.
#Duck ykey caps update#
Update 2 November 2020: the Cotton Candy set has been added to the review. Since we’re all pretty much stuck at home due to the recent coronavirus outbreak (we hope you’re all well and safe by the way) it can be an ideal time to pimp your keyboard a bit so what better time to send a couple of custom sets over to our reviewer? Ducky are well known for their high quality mechanical keyboards, and today we’re finding out if their newest keycap sets are up to those standards. Changing your keycap set (or just changing out a couple of accent caps) is an easy and relatively cheap way to spice up your favorite keyboard, and adding keycaps with a different profile or a different build quality can make a board feel different, too. That not only goes for switches, size, and build materials but also for your keycaps. We say it time and time again: mechanical keyboards have a lot of advantages over a regular membrane board, and one of those advantages is the fact that there are so many variations and options out there.
