The mechanical gaming keyboard Ducky One 3 is designed to provide you with an excellent typing experience. Meticulously crafted and optimized for quick response times, the Ducky One 3 offers gamers and keyboard enthusiasts a luxurious feel when typing. Additionally, the switches are not soldered but mounted on sockets, allowing for easy replacement without soldering.

The version of the Ducky One 3 offered here is in the 80% TKL form factor. By omitting the numeric keypad, it takes up less space on the desk, but is less suited for office applications.

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 casts the keycaps from two layers of plastic, ensuring that the key labeling remains clearly readable. The keycaps do not develop the typical shine that other plastics acquire through intensive use.

A common criticism of mechanical keyboards is their bulkiness. The housing developed for the Ducky One 3 is flatter than that of its predecessors and, in conjunction with the three-step feet, relieves wrist strain.

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