The Ducky One 3 mechanical gaming keyboard is designed to give you the best typing experience possible. With an all-round high-quality finish and trimmed for short response times, the Ducky One 3 offers gamers and keyboard enthusiasts a luxurious typing feel. In addition, the switches are not soldered, but mounted on sockets. This makes them very easy to replace without soldering. The Ducky One 3 variant offered here is in the 60-percent mini form factor. The smallest version does without the numeric keypad, the navigation keys, the arrow keys and the function keys. As a result, it takes up the least space on the desk, but is particularly suitable for experienced users and passionate gamers who know exactly what they need.

With this keyboard, the manufacturer introduces its Quack Mechanics design philosophy. Ducky takes into account four essential aspects that are decisive for the typing feel: the keycaps, the case, the sound and the stabilisers. That's why all variants of the Ducky One 3 offer high-quality keycaps made of PBT. The semi-crystalline plastic is particularly popular with keyboard modders because it is resistant to abrasion. Ducky moulds the keycaps from two layers of plastic so that the key lettering is always clearly legible. The keycaps do not develop the shine common to other plastics, which is caused by intensive use.

A frequent criticism of mechanical keyboards is their clunkiness. The developed housing of the Ducky One 3 is flatter than that of its predecessors and, in combination with the three-step feet, relieves the wrist. To improve the sound and the typing feel, Ducky tested a total of 17 different rubber compounds and selected the most suitable variant for the Q-Bounce pad. This is combined with an additional foam layer made of EVA to effectively dampen resonances when typing and hard keystrokes.
