Ducky Channel One 3 White (Cherry MX Silent Red)

Great keyboard (with two small drawbacks)

The ultra positive points :
- top quality construction and solid feel
- incredible typing quality, a real pleasure
- replaceable switches (a real plus, as my previous keyboard costing almost the same amount just ended up in the bin because some of the keys no longer worked properly)
- the silent red cherry mx is really amazingly quiet, I had a mechanical keyboard with touch switches just before, and I got used to the linear switches super fast.
- the backlight customizations are done without the need for software, which may seem a bit hard for some (everything is done on the keyboard) but once you know the shortcuts, it's just a pleasure, and most importantly, the keyboard works the same way under windows or linux (my old keyboard could only be customized under windows)
- the volume keys (at the top of the numeric keypad) are a feature I'll never be able to do without in my life
The smallest negative points :
- the metal frame of the keyboard resonates with every little bump, it makes a kind of resonating "dong", a bit like tapping your finger gently on a Tibetan bowl. Fortunately the noise is not loud, but it is quite disturbing to have that musical note in your ear while typing.
- In the backlight modes that use multiple colours (5 of the 10 modes), the brightness intensity is not adjustable (and the brightness is really strong). I hope they will update the firmware to make this possible, because if you work in a dark environment, the keyboard is really bright.
I sent two pictures, the first one is one of the multi-coloured lights, the second one is one of the lights where you have to choose a particular colour (and therefore you can choose a less bright colour)

A keyboard that's just... perfect!

Background to purchase:
Recommended by the manager of an LDLC shop near me after I asked if there was a potentially silent mechanical keyboard with numeric keypad. He let me try it out in the shop and I was immediately won over.

Delivery:
Ordered with a Logitech G G502X Plus White. Fast delivery, clean packaging. The Chronopost driver was friendly and smiling, and took the time to call me so that I could collect my parcel (delivery drivers in Calvados are generally all professional, patient and friendly, big up to them). In short, a faultless service.

Impressions:
Quiet keyboard, even quieter on an XXL carpet. You can feel the quality of the materials and the typing is very pleasant. RGB not excessive for fans of RGB softwares/minimalist configurations.
Generally clean look. Just the essentials; it has a little retro/classic feel that gives it a lot of charm. No big, aggressive logo, typical of so-called gaming peripherals. First time I've had the impression of paying for a keyboard that's worth its price.

My use: office, text input and video games (RPG).

Many thanks to LDLC d'Hérouville for the advice, LDLC in general and Chronopost. All I need now are my new speakers and my setup will be complete!

Superb key feel, very powerful RGB in terms of brightness and diversity of lighting options and "light patterns", very quiet and pleasant switches, in short this is an incredible keyboard :)
