The mechanical gaming keyboard Ducky One 3 is designed to provide you with an excellent typing experience. Crafted with high-quality materials and optimized for quick response times, the Ducky One 3 offers gamers and keyboard enthusiasts a luxurious typing feel. Additionally, the switches are not soldered but mounted on sockets, allowing for easy and solder-free replacement.

The version of the Ducky One 3 offered here is in a 65% SF form factor. By omitting the number pad, function keys, and some navigation keys, it takes up even less space on the desk than a standard TKL keyboard, although it is less suited for office applications. To save space, the arrow keys are also recessed.

With this keyboard, the manufacturer introduces its design philosophy QUACK Mechanics. Ducky considers four essential aspects that are crucial for the typing experience: the keycaps, the housing, the sound, and the stabilizers.

Therefore, all variants of the Ducky One 3 feature high-quality keycaps made from PBT. This partially crystalline plastic is particularly popular among keyboard modders due to its resistance to wear. Ducky molds the keycaps from two layers of plastic, ensuring that the key labeling remains clearly legible. The keycaps do not develop the typical shine associated with other plastics that occurs with intensive use.

A common criticism of mechanical keyboards is their bulkiness. The housing of the Ducky One 3 is flatter than that of its predecessors and, combined with the three-level feet, alleviates wrist strain.

To enhance the sound and typing feel, Ducky has tested a total of 17 different rubber composites and selected the suitable variant for the Q-Bounce pad. This is combined with an additional layer of EVA foam to effectively dampen resonances during typing and harsh keystrokes.
