I just wanna correct you on something, The Kailh Box Switches aren't in fact copies of Cherry MX's, They use a different mechanism to induce tactility in their clicky and tactile switches. The whites(clicky) use a metal wire(reffered to as a "click bar") which the slider hooks onto and then releases to create tactility while the browns have a pip in the slider to create tactility. This unique to the Kailh Box family of switches as far as I know.
Thank you! Pinned this comment. I am ordering a Massdrop ALT so I can demo a few different switch types and then I'll link that video into this one with a card where I made the error. Constructive feedback and corrections ALWAYS appreciated. 👌
@@badseedtech No problem, always happy to help man.
Edit: ruclips.net/video/qclyEX-Ura8/видео.html - This guy made an in detail explanation of box switches if you want more info
BadSeed Tech Bought the Ducky one 2 mini and the Massdrop CNTRL. They're both amazing in their own ways. People who aren't familiar with coding might not like the Massdrop ALT or CNTRL keyboard as you have to flash the firmware for custom LED modes and macros. Lemme know how you like the ALT.

"Do you think people call me a failure, because I get to go home to Scarla at night?! FORGET ABOUT IT."
The way to fix the unplugging every startup is to go into your bios and turn off ERP and that solves that issue!
That's a great tip! I'm going to pin this.

how do you access this????

I feel like this guy should be reviewing chevy trucks or something lol
lmao
Your channel is gonna blow up. Mark. My. Words
Suuuure hope so
@@badseedtech I just subbed because you don't fill the video with bullshit and waste my time. Brevity is the soul of wit!

Great review! I don't understand why this channel isn't bigger.
AGREE
I AGREE 100%
It's been around for a year. It takes time to grow an audience.
can i ask for ur opinion on which is better ,which will last longer anne pro 2 or ducky one 2 mini..i was trhinkin of glorious gmmk but nah..hope u could answer asap
Buying expensive things that people only need one of is a very niche hobby.
You're basically the only tech youtuber I watch anymore
You and Brandon Taylor have very similar channels. Maybe a collab review sometime?
Absolutely bro! Me and BT have already been in contact and will definitely work together on something in the future.
Lol I only watch them two now
That would be cool
AbzentR it happened
AbzentR the legendary collaboration occurred
Literally just got my Anne pro 2 a couple days ago and I have to say I'm really enjoying it so far! Haven't run into any of the problems you had in the video yet
Nice one, glad yours is behaving itself.
Ha I was just watching one of your videos sucks that gd has been dieing 😢
any trouble with bluetooth? mine connects but is awful, buggy, and laggy sometimes unusable
@@daigle388 have they fixed it yet?
Lighter ST Is it fixed?
This was a great review! I appreciate that you pointed out some of the rough spots other reviewers glossed-over. Still - I absolutely love this thing - typing on one right now! That arrow key tap layer is the tits.
Switch nerd here; Gaterons and Kail Box switches are both smoother than Cherries in my experience, but the Gats have a little more play / wobble as a trade-off. In my opinion, the Kailh Box switches are better than Cherries in every way being smoother, more stable, and in the case of tactile and clicky switches, more crisp and tactile.
As for the plug / sleep issue; if you set your system not to send power through USB when asleep / off, that should stop it from happening.
Nice one, thanks man!
How do you stop the system to send power?
bought this board in September of last year, and truth be told there were a few bugs with the software, key mapping, and lighting initially. However, as of today (June 2020), everything seems to work seamlessly for me. I love the sturdy quality of the board, the lighting is bright enough for me, and fortunately I dont have any crooked caps. I dont use the BT function all that often, but it is convenient to have and overall im really happy with this purchase
My Anne Pro 2 is on his way to my house can’t wait! I’m switching from mecha-membrane to mechanical hope it’s worth it.
Piranha me too
Panzy _ nice what key switch do you have?
Matthew do you have any tips for the wired version that it doesnt turn off and that you have to unplug and replug it?
@@piranha_yt what do you mean by that
AS_EV4D3R_ 1 what mean? The main comment?
Great vid man, you’re like the only tech channel I watch now. Anyways, glorious pc gaming race is releasing their Gmmk compact in February (it’s also a 60% keyboard) and maybe you could review that too!
Heard back from Glorious today - video should be ready at launch 👊👊👊
Dope, I can’t wait to see it!
This board makes most sense if you live in China, Hong Kong or Macao. It costs 55-60 USD in those regions, which is very competitive pricing.
Yh, the AP2 is 400rmb(60 dollars) whilst the ducky one 2 mini costs 949rmb(140 usd)
I just stumbled on this channel but I’m surprised with how well this whole review was constructed. Plenty of pros and cons and not just a spam of thoughtless praises, very in depth and detailed statistics about your experience, well worded opinions on this vs the Ducky, and this being your copy’s issues and the update situation. I love a professionally balanced review, smth many big channels have come to forgo. Thumbs up dude earned yourself a sub
Thank you very much! I appreciate you taking the time to write such a nice comment and glad you enjoy the content.
This is a fantastic review. I usually never leave comments but jez this was well done, bravo.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that!
Great video and sound quality. My Anne pro 2 is mint and have none of the issues you had. Everything straight no bugs what so ever. Love being able to switch between my PC, Mac and IPhone in Bluetooth mode and go wired when needs be. That was the major reason for not ordering the ducky. Also the quick arrow feature is dope. Might order the white one for my home studio.
Dude, you scared the HELL outta my soul with your voice, it is so deeeeeeppppp
Wow, this is some great video editing and an insightful product review. Glad to have stumbled upon this channel.
i have no idea why im watching this im completely broke...
αяк bro its only 60$ smh
@@stfu4871 its $110 smh

BOT Allu you’ve probably found your answer by now, but it goes for like $60 on bang good
Quit self advertising. You might think saying "I make content" isn't self advertising, but its trying to get people to click on your channel.
I got the white one and honestly the led lights look way better than on the black one... Also for anyone watching this now and looking to get one the bugs he mentions no longer exist and my right FN key is not crooked
that beard is POWERFUL.
👊👊👊
A solid, no bias, and no BS review. Enjoyed watching enough that I had to watch it twice.
Awesome, thanks man! 👊
The Anne Pro 2 was my first mechanical kbd ever and I love it, I havent had any deal breaking issues yet, but one thing I dislike is the unoptimized software. Yes I understand that Obins is not a huge well known company/brand and I get it but somethings are kinda weird like the translations, functions of the software, and the controls. It's workable but just needs to be polished up! One thing i dislike about the One 2 Mini is the arrow keys, once I discovered the TAP function on the AP2 I didnt hesitate to choose it, ( and yes I know there are tkls with arrow keys but a 60% with rgb, mech switches, arrow keys, bluetooth, and an all around great package is a steal!!)
It really is a total package board....and they seem like they are really trying to get the bugs ironed out. I bet their next release will be very strong.
AS_EV4D3R_ 1 Is it all polished now?
Stumbled onto your channel and am impressed with how clear and concise the reviews are. Solid coverage and overview of all the important points. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you , really appreciate it!
The yellow enter keycap is actually the left shift... They don't have the same shape and size, that's why it looks weird on some shots...
still waiting on the AP2 for about 2 weeks but I couldn't resist and got the Ducky for express... You buy this only once, so buy the best! Thank you!
Dem UK links...always 'preciated. Cheers man.
Now if only there were EU links ;-)
Absolutely....and currently working to expand the Amazon reach until its worldwide
@@superultrathanksmom3845 check it out on banggood
the only honest review about anne pro 2.
I've watched so many reviews and you're the only one that even calls out the bad things
Try to keep it as real as I can. Thanks for watching!
Great Video! I own the anne pro 2 and use it everyday and i dont have any issues with keys being crooked on any of my keys. I dont really use the bluetooth/wireless mode so i cant comment on if there are any bugs for me. Havent had any issues with having to unplug and plug it back in though. I also use this board for gaming daily and i use brown switches. Personally I like this board over the ducky just because of build quality and the tapping for arrow keys feature :) but the ducky is phenomenal too. Great video i subscribed right away!
Thanks man! Glad the AP2 is great fit for you!
I personally got my One 2 Mini and tried the flex on the right and left sides on the Board, And I can say that I didn’t get any squeaky noises coming from the board and hardly any flex whatsoever, Love both these Keyboards and thank you for the great vid
That's a relief...hopefully it's just my copy. I've got another on the way so I can test it as well.
How is yout one 2 mini after all these months bruh?
Glad I decided to just order the ducky one 2 mini, instead of rushing out and getting the Anne Pro 2. For what I need the ducky is a much better choice, thanks for another great review :)
Its worth the wait...people don't understand the quality difference. And anyone who says there isn't one, hasn't tried both boards.
@@badseedtech i do own both boards and a fuckload of other boards in 60 and 65% formfactor and well all my keys are in line and not crooked so im thinking u have been abit unlucky , i do agree out of the box the Ducky looks alot better, but Feel,weight,Flex etc id actualy place the anne pro higher, if i close my eyes and use them id pick anne pro 10 out of 10 times, but then again my anne pro looks faar away from stock anymore so its higher visual aswell now...
I love your videos! How do you only have 27k subscribers? Your videos look so professional and they’re so high quality that I always think I’m watching a youtuber with millions of subs!
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
the comparison we’ve all been waiting for!!
edit: great video. i love my ducky, i’m glad i picked it.
Came for the Beard, stayed for the voice, entertained by the review. Earned a sub here +1
I came for the keyboard, I stayed for the man
Honest review.Saved my money from the anne pro 2.I really thought it is a reliable option.I like the part when he mentioned OCD because i really do suffer from a light form of ocd...it s so annoying i keep trying to temper myself but no results.I don't wish OCD not even to my enemies.
why is this channel so underrated??
Never really took it serious. But Im here now lol
For me it was pretty easy, the Ducky.
Because they actually offer the ISO-DE layout unlike basically any other manufacturer in the 60% market.
Went to Caseking, put the Ducky Mecha Mini (basically the One 2 Mini) in the shopping cart, checked out, and had a perfectly fine mechanical keyboard with my preferred layout and switches on my desk the very next day.
Sucks I had the same issues with this board. My first mech keyboard. Didn't know I was signing up to be a beta tester too. I was looking around thinking everyone was mad, it felt like a nose dive compared my previous over a decade old membrane keyboard. Envious of the Ducky. Looking forward to Vortex RGB POK3R to see how it compares.
Did they fix alot of the issues?
@@qluna2791I've been stuck with it 5 months. Bluetooth freezes and crashes devices, so I don't even try that anymore. LEDs color has gotten better though still inconsistent. There is a delay now and again typing when in wired mode. Typing is inconsistent with often double or no recognition of key presses. I contacted the seller and they are sending a replacement. Be a few months before I know if it's all fixed.
Love the production value in these videos - best tech channel I've found yet! Awesome stuff.
Thanks so much man! 👊
As soon as he started speaking I shit myself 😂
All pros and cons considered. I'll be buying an Anne Pro 2. Great video and this channel is great after just stumbling upon it.
Thanks bro 👊
🔥
I was able to fix the issue with having to plug/unplug the cable on wakeup/powerup by turning on a power saving option on my mobo bios. Basically you have to cut the power to your computer when it's off entirely, instead of letting it have the low voltage that;s usually there when it's "off".
I got my Anne pro a year ago I’m happy with it why am I here? I’ve watched this already too.
Pheonix looking to buy one, many flaws still or not as much?
Collin I got the anne pro 2 White The lighting is really bright and I love the sound of the keys :) and I can put any effect I want
Also have the anne pro for a year now, when i had it at the start it was pretty buggy and firmware update's were a pain to install for some reason, but when the more recent firmware update's installed it has been a great experience without any problems.
They are the same besides the RGB on the ducky being about 50 times richer and vibrant, and the ducky has the most sturdy keycaps (meaning doesn’t wiggle around as much).
@BadSeed Tech
Would the Anne Pro 2 be a good first mechanical keyboard, or should I play it safe and go for the Glorious GMMK? I found I prefer Gateron switches over Cherry MX
pew pew want to know this too. I feel like hot-swap might be good to have
So happy I came to watch your video as well as the top video RUclips suggested on this keyboard vs the mini. You are so much more thorough, and quick to the point than the most viewed video on this topic. You are actually going over things that are completely left out of the other video as well. Well done, dude!
Underrated asf. This man is the tech goat!
Edits are sharp, beard is sharp... this channel is about to blow the fuck up man
Thanks bro 👊
Awsome vid man bettween this rewiew i think im going with the ducky
I got this keyboard in a rush, without watching any reviews 'n stuff. But it was my first keyboard so I didn't care. Love it, my copy for example rarely has any bugs and has served me well for almost a year now!
Look at his cool cup at 00:08
to get rid of flicker on camera, you can change your camera capture rate to match the frequency of the lights
Cant wait till giveaway winner announcement!!
watched this and your one 2 mini review. loved your straight to the point review with great insight on their pros and cons. earned my sub, looking forward to your future reviews .
Thank you, I really appreciate it 👊
The white is a million times better than the black on the Anne Pro 2
Daniel Burke I’m trying to decide between the two. Why do you say this?
@@olliecampbell3440 I have the white and not only does it look much better than the black but the RGB is way more visible
Just found your channel recently looking for ducky one two mini reviews and now I'm hooked, videos are on point!
Dude i just need to tell you something since ive been watching your vids since a lot time a go Keep the great work😃😃also i love your vids
My Anne pro 2 started bugging and sometimes (every 5 minutes) a key would just stop working, in WIRED mode too, which is were you come correct where it’s not to good when you’re using it for more serious gaming. I’m not saying that I’m a professional gamer, I’m just saying that if you hit the keys A LOT, you might have some problems with it responding. Also probably gonna get the ducky soon. Good video as always though!
Tosh Davis is it okay now?
Cant wait for the VORTEX Review
Its here now...its glorious
Gateron switches are much superior to Cherry MXs because the stems use a different material that has a very low friction with the case. If you disassemble the switches and compare, you'll see that Gateron stems are actually smoother compared to Cherrys.
Will you review the new glorious one
Yep. AND the Odin mouse.
@@badseedtechhmm cant wait for the gmmk pro review text year!
This man needs more love on youtube. Not a better gaming peripheral reviewer on youtube. Period.
why does this guy have 70K and not 700K
I ended up purchasing this over the ducky keyboard, and let me tell you it is flawless. My best upgrade for my setup in years. I am in love with the white on white and this keyboard! 10/10 recommend :D
Yo u should have way more SUBS
You are my favorite tech channel, thanks for putting a smile on my face keep up the good work
Thanks!
I ordered the Anne pro 2 with gateron brown switches and it’s thanks to this review I’m coming from using the Corsair k95 rgb platinum but it’s starting to fail on me so I’m getting the Anne pro 2 since it’s high rated and smaller
Legitimately thinking about getting this keyboard or the Ducky one 2 mini. Leaning toward the Ducky due to color intensity and better for competitive gaming. Thanks for the video!
I've had the Anne Pro 2 for about a year now and it has been non-stop Bluetooth connectivity problems. I'm going to try the Ducky and see if it's better.
one of the best tech channels thanks to you i got a gateron red anne pro 2
Dude that knuckle duster mug looks soooooo sick bro
This is the Chad of RUclips technology review channels. It’s nice to have a change of character in the tech review world. Great job btw
LMAO, thanks bro. 👊
lots of things have changed in this keyboard, first of all, the keycaps were swapped for a normal keycap set. As for the bluetooth, i used it and there were no issues for me whatsoever, they also made it so that whenits used via bluetooth the rgb would turn off when you are not typing on the board, as soon as you start typing, the rgb comes back on. More rgb modes were added, only available via the software though. rgb does get on when u turn off ur computer and turn it back on.
However, you WILL need to install the software for some of these features to work on your keyboard. I did have some issues tryna install the latest version of the software, i had to look up a video and use the link they provided to install the latest version.
Who would down vote this...amazing video! Great editing as always. I currently have an Anne Pro 2 my favorite keyboard by far. All the issues you're having on your board is non existent on mine...maybe you got a bad board. Cheers =)
Glad to hear yours performs better.
Good honest review, but I just want to point out that the Kailh Box switches are not copies of cherry. They use the same cherry form factor so that they're compatible with the same keycaps, PCBs and backplates, but the actual mechanical mechanism for the switch is their own unique design, which is part of why they've made a bit of a splash with keyboard nerds.
I think taking absolutely everything into account, I'm leaning more towards the ducky. My only complaints about it are the crappy case, and I'm also not overly wrapped in the arrow key placement on it. It'd be fine if the Fn key was on the left of the board, but with it being on the right it looks like it would be awkward. Anyways, you just earned yourself a new sub!
Great info, thank you man! The case is a sticking point, yes. I am hearing that other people's copies do not have that issue. I have another one slated for delivery soon and I'll update everybody to see if it squeaks as well. And the arrow key placement IS awkward af but I have a plan....keep a sharp eye out for Sunday's video.
I recommend this because of the blue tooth. Yeah you might only be using a wired cable but 60% keyboards are so portable given the size that you will most likely take it around
i swear every tech youtuber has the nicest setup ever
Obinslab software/firmare developer team is really competent and they really try to look like they care about the customers. One of the main reasons I like them is Linux support.
So late to this but got just got the Ann Pro 2 and I'm gonna be honest, it will be a long time before I feel the need to change keyboards... Fantastic.
I have a ducky and all i did was make the alt, windows, ctrl and shift keys on the right side of the board into arrow keys with macros. the trick video you made with the AHK was pretty good, but if you pressed the buttons quickly, the script stopped working and somehow made the entire board go haywire. so I would just prefer to go with macros on the ducky.
I needed a keyboard for my Nvidia shield tv. so I got the Anne 2 pro. i haven't had a single issue of those you described in the video. also you can install the app on your phone and control it just like you would if you install the software on to your Pc
Exactly the review i was looking for, thanks. And btw you deserve more subscribers
Looks like the Bluetooth function of the Anne pro 2 can help in cable management ☺️
glad they admit the software bug NOT LIKE RAZER, my orbweaver chroma and BW V2 TE led lights suddendy displays the wrong color /other colors never displayed. sending the keyboard back to a supplier is a waste of time
The connectivity issue at startup has been patched, you dont have to manually disconnect and reconnect the wire.
I still get this issue if there’s a way to fix it please tell me
@@HockeyDangler6 Try updating obinslab to the latest version
This keyboard looks SO slick but I just can’t go without a numpad... I wish full sized keyboards looked like this somehow 😂
Everytime I turn off my pc my keyboard is being recognized and I have to constantly unplug the usb everytime I want use the pc
With the anne pro?
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION ON HOW THEY FLICKER BADLY ON CAMERA
Or if you opt for the $130 version you can get mx cherry red switches
*I can't decide If I should get this or the Ducky One Mini 2, what should I get, which one is better? Also I'm using these for gaming too*
Me too man
I would say if you can get the anne pro cheaper buy it.
Juicy Lemon it’s on sale for 75 dollars on Bang Good . I got it with free shipping and shipping insurance for 79 dollars all together
That's where I ordered mine from. Free shipping and it was $121 AUD. :)
tip: this is the best time to buy the anne pro 2/ducky one 2 mini all the fortnite kids have drifted off so you can pick up one of these on amazon and choose your switches and color (white or black) and get your keyboard in a day or two depending on if you have prime or not. im getting mine on july 3rd (its july 1st for the people watching/reading in the future) with the gateron red switches
Edit: changed while to and
intrusted I ordered mine on Friday and it’s coming this Saturday! I’m so excited
@@OhitsYaya how is the keyboard?
They are actually very on top of the updates to firmware and bluetooth. took me couple minutes to set up, but once i did it works perfectly. you're paying 25 more for the ducky and you get, no wireless and lighter/shoddier build - seems like a no brainer to me
Also, to add to this. If you plan to use the keyboard on mac OS, pick the Anne Pro. The Ducky is clearly designed for windows and offers little to no considerations to mac users. You are going to run into so much trouble trying to configure the Ducky.
I am primarily a mac users and here are some of the things I wish I knew before I bought the Ducky:
PROBLEM #1
The command and option keys are switched. Many keyboards actually behave this way (by default the command key is actually mapped to the windows key, whereas mac users are more used to it being mapped to where the Alt key is). People usually get around this by going into the os setting and modifying the keys on the os level and have it switched.
But there is a problem! In mac os, to cycle between windows under the same application, you would do command + tilde. I don't know how to do that on the ducky if I have alt mapped to command because tilde is on the fn layer, and alt + fn actually activates another layer on the ducky (it actually turns the tilde key into "check profile").
PROBLEM #2
The two alt keys on either side of the space bar is hard coupled. This means you cannot map the left alt to command and the right alt to options. Whatever you map the left alt to is also what the right alt is mapped to. There are numerous applications shortcuts where options and control are pressed simultaneously. Taking away that flexibility just kills the keyboard completely if you're using it for productivity purposes.
Feel free to correct me if I got any of this wrong. I am actually actively looking for a solution to salvage my Ducky.
I just got to this channel and I automatically subscribed because of the production quality and god damn i was surprised this big manly man was behind all of it! cheers mate and keep making videos :))
Thanks brother....will do! 👊
Dude your voice is so cool I can listen to you for hours
