The mechanical gaming keyboard Ducky One 3 has been 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 feel while typing. Additionally, the switches are not soldered but mounted on sockets, allowing for easy replacement without soldering.

The variant of the Ducky One 3 offered here is in a full-size form factor. It features the complete range of keys, including a numeric keypad, function keys, and arrow keys. This makes it suitable for both gaming and office applications, although it does require a significant amount of desk space.

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, almost all variants of the Ducky One 3 come with high-quality PBT keycaps. This semi-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 highly legible. The keycaps do not develop the typical shine associated with other plastics that occurs with intense use.

A common criticism of mechanical keyboards is their bulkiness. The housing of the Ducky One 3 has been designed to be flatter than that of its predecessors, relieving wrist strain in combination with the three-step adjustable feet.

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