Ducky Channel One 3 Mini Yellow Ducky (Cherry MX Clear)

Good complement for laptop

I picked up this keyboard as a complement to working on a laptop. I'm pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the reduced "60%" layout, as long as you don't need the arrow keys or page keys too much (the secret is to use modal software such as "vim", which means you don't need them).

There's nothing to say about the typing comfort of the Cherry Brown switches. The keyboard is light and practical for situations when you're on the move but still need to do a lot of typing, or as a back-up in the event of a hardware failure (I've used up a number of laptop keyboards).

The white letters on a yellow background may not be suitable for people with sight problems who don't type, but that doesn't bother me (on the contrary, I use an internationalised US layout, so if the keys are less visible, that's fine with me because they don't match).

I'll have to wait and see about durability, but the switches can be replaced independently, so I won't have to change everything as soon as a key gets a bit tired. :)

Positive feedback

Hello,

I'm very happy with my cheese-coloured keyboard. Delivered on time and in good condition.
The keyboard is "hot swap" so it's very practical to change the switches without having to unsolder. Personally, I swapped these keys for Gateron yellow (because I like the sound??).
I like to be on the PC with low lighting and the cheesy colour of the keys makes using the keyboard a bit difficult, despite the backlighting.
What's more, it's a mini without directional keys, so it takes a bit of getting used to, but it works fine.

A good keyboard for video games

The keyboard is perfectly suited to video games, the feedback from the keys is very pleasant, it's easy to hold, and it's ergonomic so you can place it anywhere on the keyboard.
The only downsides are the lack of software for settings, and the quality of the space key.

Superb keyboard, shame about the Keycaps

I bought this keyboard following a fantastic sale for the modest sum of €45... unbeatable!
The keyboard and its feel are impeccable, nothing to complain about.
The only regret I have is that the keycaps are not visible and opaque, which makes it very difficult to read the characters written on the keys... I'm used to writing on a qwerty keyboard (us-international) and typing on an azerty keyboard takes a lot of effort and I have to find the keys to type.
I'm going to have to change the keycaps to make the keyboard usable for myself.

The N key writes multiple N

The keyboard is not even 2 months old and already has a problem with a switch (chattering) so I had to send the keyboard back and at the time of writing this message there is no stock on my reference.
