    Well received, good keyboard without more

    Compared to my old Razer Blackwidow 2013, it's a huge difference, more qualitative feel, much less noisy even if not silent, no regrets for my choice of the brown Switch.

    Which I knew before but still regrettable:
    The LEDs for locking keypad etc, a bright white in lookable in front.

    I will add:
    The free software to manage the RGB effects, one can do without it for those who wish it and manage with the keyboard shortcut but here, this software exists and to have tried it, it is rather poor.
    I've tried it and it's a bit of a problem, you can't see backlit symbols under the main letters, e.g. € under the letter E etc. It's limited because many of them are doubled on the top line but for the alphanumeric key line, it's a problem.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the keyboard as a stand-alone device, but it's a good idea to use the keyboard as a stand-alone device, as it's a good idea to use the keyboard as a stand-alone device.

    I know there are similar problems on other brands but for 200 euros I'm hoping for long term reliability but I won't be buying the same one again.

    Perfect, except for one detail

    One of the best keyboards I've ever tested, ultra fast and discreet typing, a solid and well designed frame, very pleasant keys that don't stick, lots of extra keys to customise the keyboard, fully customisable RGB LEDs.
    The only problem is that the '/4/{ key has a manufacturing defect and only works every other time, the rest of the time you have to mash the key several times before the input is taken into account; extra annoying given that this key is very much in demand, both in typing and in video games. The keyboard is out of stock until July 2021, so I know I won't be able to exchange it for 8 months if I send it back to LDLC.
    It's a shame because Ducky keyboards have an excellent reputation and are not burdened with annoying "gAmerz 3000" marketing. It's obvious that this is a high quality keyboard, only at this price it's very painful to find a manufacturing defect that you don't find in entry-level membrane keyboards at £20.

    An impeccable keyboard

    Sturdy keyboard, very nice and quite heavy. I have a weakness for the switch brown. A joy to type on. Worth the price.

    Almost perfect!

    As a PC fan for many years, I have tested a lot of keyboards: wireless, ergonomic, membrane, mechanical with different switches .....
    I was looking for a simple, mechanical, robust keyboard. I have to say that this Ducky fits the bill perfectly. The weight of the keyboard means that it doesn't move at all on the desk (unlike my old ASUS). I love the Brown switch (although I also really like the blue ones). The keys are great: special mention to the space bar - year of the dog (I think). The finish is excellent!

    The keyboard is noisy and the only drawback is that the capitalization LED is invisible!

    A very good keyboard with a poor finish

    In terms of functionality, this keyboard justifies its price as the typing quality is exceptional.
    The construction is also exemplary, the keyboard is heavy (aluminium chassis) and does not move on the desk even when heavily used.
    No surprises on the RGB side, the keyboard remains very sober.

    Everything would be perfect if the paint applied to the chassis did not flake off.
    After 3 months of use, I noticed what I thought was a stain, which I tried to clean with a soft cloth. Unfortunately, this caused the paint to come off under the space bar and over a length of 5 cm.
    The aesthetics of the keyboard are not good and this is not acceptable on a keyboard of this range anyway.
