General information
Product name
Ducky Channel One 2 Backlit (black colour - Cherry MX Red - white LEDs)
After a few weeks of use, I am very happy with the keyboard.
The keys feel good and the Cherry MX Red switches are very responsive and quiet.
In the few negative points: some symbols are very poorly illuminated because the backlight is located at a specific point on each key and not on the entire key (for example, the symbols on the bottom of the keys such as ~ # { € etc are poorly visible when the backlight is turned down).
Furthermore, depending on the angle of the keyboard, the "verr Shift" and "verr Num" indicators are not visible without leaning forward as they are hidden by the "Num" and "/" keys.

Very satisfied with my purchase
After 5 months of use, I am still happy with my purchase:
- the Cherry MX Red makes the keys pleasant to the touch and not very noisy (I did put rubber bands on to further dampen the sound).
- The keyboard components are also of good quality with a metal body that makes the keyboard solid and quite heavy.
- On the aesthetic side, the white backlighting fits perfectly with the overall look of the keyboard. I had to do some research to change the intensity and discover the different modes.
- The connection is very simple: just a USB-C to USB-A port.
I found it to be an excellent product, although I regret that there are no multimedia controls for music (play, pause, etc). It's a great product, although I'm sorry there are no multimedia controls for music (play, pause, etc.), just volume and calculator buttons.
I recommend it.

always on top
My judgement is biased as this is my 2nd Ducky Channel keyboard
The first one was a Shine 2 (that I bought at a time when they were only available on foreign websites) which is starting to fail after 5 years of daily use (6 hours a day)
So we take the same ones and we start again.
If you're looking for top of the range, come here, the keyboards are better than the giants (Corsair, Razer etc...) I would have chosen to try other brands if I could, but Filco and others don't want to do ISO Fr. So I'm going back to what I know is best and available in France.
The keyboard itself is (almost) perfect. heavy (so it doesn't move), very pleasant, (mecha obliges and still it's only MX Red) a bit noisy, but the feeling of the keys is just magical the double laser engraving in the inner part makes the lettering never disappear, the backlighting is perfect.
The evolution comes in the choice of design which is really improving at Ducky (my Shine 2 was a bit austere)
I don't understand this choice (maybe aesthetic), they put the activation lights for caps lock and num lock above the num pad, which means that the caps key is always lit up, whereas before the LEDs of these keys were only lit up when they were active.
The second negative point is the adjustment feet, they were fragile on my shine, they are much less so but the mid level foot tends to fold up if you push the keyboard back.
I would like to point out that the LEDs are WHITE on the model I received and not blue as indicated. I just think it's a shame that the backlit model is available but not the RGB.
