The One 3 looks absolutely stunning and it's a dream to type on. You do have to forgo RGB lighting, or backlighting of any sort, with the Ducky. Plenty of gaming keyboards are hot-swappable nowadays, but this particular inclusion with the Ducky One 3 really feels like a win overall. You bought some new key switches online because they looked nice even thought you'll never really see them once they're installed? Just pull the old ones out and slot the new ones in.

You can pluck switches out of the Ducky at will. There's a whole lot of sound dampening going on with the Ducky under the surface, and that satisfying mechanical thud as a result is amicable to my ears for a day's worth of constant typing, or gaming with a microphone nearby. The spacebar and enter keys have a certain tell-tale thud to them, but beyond that the switches, including those with stabilisers, are impressively uniform in sound. The Ducky barely rattles whatsoever as I'm tapping away at its positively pink caps. The swift actuation helps with the sort of snappy response I want while gaming, while the linear press without a tactile bump or click makes for moderately low-noise operation. They offer a smooth press with only 1.2mm of travel before actuation and a total distance of 3.4mm. I opted for Cherry MX Speed Silver switches, which are some of Cherry's finest for gaming. You have a wide choice of Cherry MX switches to choose from with the Ducky, depending on where you buy it from. Perhaps it wouldn't love a drop from a high place, but I don't dare to try it with this gorgeous review unit. That aside, the One 3 is build like a tank and there's absolutely no flex to it whatsoever. I tried unplugging and waiting a little while before trying again, but couldn't get them to do anything at all. There are also four DIP switches that offer a couple of hard-coded shortcuts for various keyboard modes, however, I couldn't get them to work. The cable on the One 3 Fuji is a perfectly matched shade of pink to the rest of it, of course. The blue underbelly of the Ducky contains cable runs for the included (and removable) braided USB Type-C to Type-A cable. The One 3 looks absolutely stunning and it's a dream to type on.įrom the superb quality keycaps to the rest of the board the Ducky continues to impress. Unlike ABS plastic, PBT tends to last a little longer, reject stains, and keep its colour-matched legends from rubbing away. Every key you see in my images of the One 3 is included in the standard Fuji design, which makes it feel like I've received a keyboard with a custom keycap set pre-installed.Įvery keycap on the Ducky is made from strong PBT plastic. This is Ducky's latest flagship keyboard and it comes in many different colours and styles, but this one is called Fuji. Look no further than the One 3's wonderfully colourful design for proof.
