Ducky One 3 Daybreak Mini

The Ducky One 3 mechanical gaming keyboard was developed to offer you the best possible typing experience. The Ducky One 3 provides gamers and keyboard enthusiasts with a luxurious typing experience thanks to its high-quality finish and short response times. Additionally, the switches are not soldered but mounted on sockets, making them very easy to replace without any soldering. The Ducky One 3 variant on sale here has a 60 percent mini form factor. This smallest version completely dispenses with the numeric keypad, navigation and arrow keys, as well as the function keys. This means it takes up the least space on the desk, making it 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 considers four key aspects that are decisive for the typing experience: the keycaps, the housing, the sound, and the stabilisers.

That's why all variants of the Ducky One 3 offer high-quality keycaps made of PBT. This 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 usual lustre of other plastics caused by intensive use, keeping the keyboard looking like new for a long time.

A common criticism of mechanical keyboards is their clunkiness. The newly developed housing of the Ducky One 3 is flatter than that of its predecessors and, together with the three-stage feet, relieves the strain on the wrist. To improve the sound and 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 layer of EVA foam to effectively dampen resonances when typing and hard keystrokes.
