      Qotroz, depends what games your playing. The reason many like the mini is you get more room to run the mouse. Many FPS gamers like to move the mouse with their entire arm and not just the wrist.

    I just got my Ducky One 2 Mini White about a month ago, and it's just such a great keyboard. I was very skeptical about the 60% layout (and I do miss the arrow keys in particular), but I chose to go with it because of how easy 60% keyboards are to customise when it comes to cases and keycaps. I got a wooden case for it and changing it from the original to the new one was shockingly easy, it basically took me 10 minutes. My favourite thing about it (other than the looks - the white keycaps in a wooden case looks super clean) is how the sound has changed in the new case. Typing on it sounds soooo satisfying.

    • @papaquonis
      @papaquonis 4 года назад +6

      @@thealleyway525 That's the point - no desoldering is needed. Remove the keycaps, unscrew 6 screws, move the keyboard internals to the new case, put the 6 screws and the keycaps back in their place and you're done. It was super easy.
      Unlike full size and TKL keyboards, a lot (not all) of 60% keyboards seem to share the same basic design, when it comes to screw holes, USB connection in the back and even the dipswitch thing at the bottom. It was really easy finding a new case where the Ducky One 2 Mini would fit perfectly.

    Definitely my all time favorite keyboard. The 65% format does sound interesting though since there are those few games that are easier to play with the arrow keys or their button layout requires it like south park the fractured but whole. Got mine with cherry mx silver switches and couldn't be more satisfied. The Logitech G910 orion I had before this was a close second their switches are also really nice. Still need to test some gateron and kailh switches.

    Heya Dmitri. Thanks for featuring Mecha Mini. I'm a 65% guy myself, as I use the arrow keys + CTRL to navigate all the time = no-go on 60%.
    So are ya confirming the 65% Mecha Mini SF? Is that coming? If it is, then I'll happily wait. This Mecha Mini checks a lot of boxes, but I'm gonna stick to my Durgod Hades 68.

    • @art1182
      @art1182 4 года назад

      @Cody Scott Thanks Cody! As i said, I have a Durgod Hades 68. I also shopped around for your Akko before committing to mine, but what tipped me over was Durgod's software, price point, and key switch options. I opted for a Gat Silent Brown -- pretty rare find for a production board. Love it love it. RGB backlight on mine too on the rare cases I use it, plus fast shipping, all for less than the Akko.
      I'll wait for that Ducky Mecha Mini SF due to the build quality, programmability, and extra keycaps that brighten it up. Akko is cool too, love that brighter colorway.

      @Complaint hmm how to explain. it is the ''echo'' that happens inside the case of the keyboard when pressing down the key. Mecha got aluminum case and the mini has plastic. aluminium gives more echo sound, ping, but it feels more premium with alu case, if you care about that. other than that it doenst really matter. if you cant tell the difference of the ping sound, get the mecha if you have the money as it feels more premium.
