As you might expect of a 60% mechanical keyboard, almost half of it is missing which is perfect if you don't have much desk space in your dorms/studio flat. Ducky have been making fan-favorite keyboards since 2010 after serving the hotbed of computer technology in Taiwan as a peripheral manufacturer since 1998.
Ducky have built this special limited run collab with HyperX mechanical switches and their own Ducky PBT Double-Shot keycaps, with all the usual RGB underlighting you might expect from a modern gaming keyboard.
Ducky's zodiac-themed keyboards have caused a stir in Eastern markets, with striking artwork on the spacebar. This first-time collaboration with HyperX will include a Year of the Rat-themed spacebar as a replaceable key, for extra customization. The HyperX x Ducky One 2 Mini also comes with a keycap puller so you don't have to worry about snapping the stems, and a number of red-colored keycaps.
The 60% keyboard has triple-stepped keyboard feet to find the write typing and playing angle, as well as a detachable USB-C cable so you can easily take your setup with you to LAN parties.
There are only 3,700 HyperX x Ducky One 2 Mini 60% keyboards available when they go on sale this May 12, so if you want to grab one don't sleep on this drop.
