Product Description

The Ducky One 2 Pure is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard designed for users who want a compact layout with full RGB lighting and solid build quality. It suits typists and gamers who prefer wired connectivity and German-made Cherry MX switches for consistent key feel. This keyboard is good if you want durable PBT keycaps and customizable lighting but less ideal if you need hot-swappable switches or Mac compatibility.

Key Features

  • RGB backlighting with support for RAZER Chroma Broadcast and Ducky’s own RGB software, allowing detailed lighting customization.
  • Includes 10 additional colorful PBT double-shot keycaps for personalization or replacement.
  • Three-level adjustable feet provide ergonomic typing angles.
  • Detachable USB-C cable enhances portability and cable management.

Build Quality

  • White plastic case with a dual-layer PCB for improved durability and signal stability.
  • Plate-mounted switch design adds rigidity and consistent keypress feel.
  • OEM profile PBT keycaps resist shine and wear better than ABS alternatives.

Typing Experience

  • Equipped with German-made Cherry MX switches, offering a range of tactile and linear options to suit different preferences.
  • North-facing switch orientation optimizes RGB lighting visibility.
  • Includes a random "Year of" zodiac spacebar as a unique visual detail.

Compatibility

  • US ANSI layout with 87 keys fits most standard tenkeyless setups.
  • Compatible with Windows and Linux, but not officially supported on Mac OS.
  • Supports Ducky Macro 2.0 for custom key programming.

Trade-offs

  • No hot-swap capability, so switch replacement requires soldering skills.
  • Lacks wireless connectivity, limiting use to wired setups only.
  • No built-in audio or microphone ports.
