Ducky one grey white đánh giá

Have seen a very limited amount of content regarding the Ducky One 3 TKL, so figured I'd jump on and give my opinion of it on here so I can hopefully be of some help to anyone considering it! I've got the Daybreak version of the One 3 with Cherry MX Brown switches (for now). The unboxing experience was pretty stellar; the board comes snugly packed into its box with a protective plastic sleeve on the board itself and covered with a hard plastic cover. Inside the box you'll find a set of extra alternative keycaps, a USB-C cable, a wire keycap puller, and a switch puller. I guess I can break it down into some sections now so you can find what you're looking for more easily. I'll even put a score out of 10 for you TLDRs.

Build Quality

The keyboard has a good weight to it, giving it more of a premium feel than I expected, but being someone who has pretty much exclusively used aluminum case keyboards as of late, I must admit the feeling of the all-plastic case let me down somewhat. The backplate is metal here, painted white on the Daybreak model. The keyboard legs feel as sturdy as any plastic keyboard legs would, and the keyboard sits nice and flat on the desktop without any wobble to speak of. The two keyboard ends have some plastic trim that snaps into place to cover the exposed sides; mine were a little wobbly on arrival, but you can carefully pop them right off to get to two screws on either side that tighten right up to alleviate this issue (or you can use that time to take your board apart if you're so inclined, more on that later). If you don't mind a plastic keyboard, the build quality is sound once you tighten those side screws if necessary. 8/10.

Typing Experience

Right off the bat, I noticed ping in the keyboard when typing. It resonated across the plate and annoyed the heck out of me. After some tinkering (I'll get into the details below), I realized that it was the spring ping of the stock MX Browns that was echoing across the plate rather than resonating through the bottom of the case. I wanted this board to be a tactile board, and all I had on hand were Banana Splits and Alpaca V2s, so I begrudgingly decided that I would lube the MX Browns that came with the board until I get some suitable tactile replacements. After hand lubing the springs with 205g0, and putting just a very thin coat of the same lube on the stem slide rails, the ping was completely eliminated and the typing experience was much better. This board more of a clacky sound to it than a thoccy one, in my opinion, although it does thocc a lil bit; I'm guessing the thick silicone dampening pad between the plate and PCB has something to do with this. Pretty good typing experience, but definitely not the best I've felt, either. 8/10.

Stabilizers

The stabs are clipped and lightly lubricated right out of the box. They're better than you'd find in most prebuilts, but they definitely benefited from some 205g0. They fit nice and tight in the board, so I didn't bother bandaid modding them, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt if you wanted to. 8/10.

Keycaps

The keycaps are doubleshot PBT and are not shinethrough, and they feel very premium to me. The legends are easy to read and are printed uniformly. The extra keycaps included are also pretty sweet. Definitely no qualms with these caps at all. 9/10.

Firmware

Okay, so while this board does have a 1000hz polling rate, there was noticeable input lag after I updated the firmware to the newest available on Ducky's website (version 1.10 at time of this writing). I'm guessing this is due to Ducky extending the debounce time so as to prevent chattering, which I read was an issue for some users. I myself had some issues with some chattering keys and keypresses failing to register out of the box, but I was able to fix this by shuffling some switches around and updating to firmware 1.10. With version 1.10, however, the lowest input latency I achieved was 22 ms, and it was noticeable to me when typing most likely because I had been daily driving an optical board with no latency at all for the last few months. When I changed the firmware to version 1.07 (available on MechanicalKeyboards.com purchase page for the board), the input latency improved dramatically down to 11 ms. I am using the 1.07 as of now, to keep that debounce down, as it seems I don't have any chattering going on, but I imagined the input latency would be a bit lower (seeing as Rtings measured this board at 4.4 ms - maybe on the stock firmware, though, which as I mentioned did have some chatter issues). The latency on 1.07 is absolutely negligible for typing, but on 1.10 I definitely felt the difference. I'd recommend getting 1.07 loaded up if it runs without issue. 7/10.

Modifications

This board was terrifying to disassemble! Probably because I'm not used to plastic cases. To take it apart, you first need to pop off both plastic side pieces, which are held in place by integrated plastic clips. Then you remove both sets of plastic adjustable feet. There are two screws on each end of the board, one screw located under each foot, and one screw in the middle bottom of the board near the USB-C port (under a tamper evident "do not remove" sticker. You will void your warranty opening this board up). After removing all the screws, you must gently and painstakingly separate the top and bottom pieces of the case, which are held together by, you guessed it, integrated plastic clips. I am shocked nothing cracked or snapped off with the amount of force I had to use to separate the halves. Once the halves are apart, there are two screws on the plate holding the plate assembly to two plastic standoffs. I did not separate the plate and PCB, but it would have been easy to do so (just some screws on the bottom of the PCB. Once inside, I added some Poly Fil to improve the hollowness of the bottom part of the case (I had hoped this would remove the ping I was hearing, but this is what made me realize it was exclusively spring ping resonating off the plate). There is a little piece of foam in the bottom, but it definitely benefits from some thicker foam or Poly Fil. Be aware that there is very little room under some parts of the PCB, which is why I opted for the Fil and not something more substantial. The Poly Fil did remove the hollowness of the case, but at the cost of voiding my warranty and quite possibly snapping a plastic clip or cracking the top part of the case itself. I suggest trying the board out with some lubed switches first if you're unhappy with the sound profile and seeing how they do without opening the board first. I did it backwards and did the Poly Fil before I lubed the switches. All in all, besides the hotswap aspect of the PCB, I definitely wouldn't call this board modification friendly, although it obviously can be done successfully (I did it without breaking anything but my warranty). 6/10.

Overall Score - 7.6/10

This board is definitely an improvement for anyone looking for a gaming keyboard that will have more features and better out of the box build quality than one of the mainstream gaming brands (although I still prefer the Razer Huntsman V2 with linears for gaming). If you're an enthusiast, however, I can't see this board being that exciting. The typing experience is good, sure, but it lacks that solid, grounded feel of an all-aluminum case. It feels less enjoyable to type on that my Tofu 60 (aluminum case, aluminum plate, stupidfish case foam, lubed/filmed banana splits) for sure.

The Ducky One 3 is good for gaming and good for typing, but great for neither. You'll get a better typing experience off of a custom board - something like the Keychron Q3 is within spitting distance of the price of this board. You'll get a better gaming experience off something with less input latency - the Huntsman V2 TKL with linears comes to mind (0 ms latency ftw). But the Ducky has better typing quality than the Razer and is hotswappable, and the Ducky also outperforms something like the Q3 in the latency department. So I think this keyboard is suitable for the crowd that it seems Ducky intended: gamers who want something with better typing quality and more customization than a mainstream gaming keyboard that also retains a higher level of performance for gaming. At $149.99 for the TKL Daybreak I've got here, this board is definitely a decent buy, just be aware that it feels more like a Swiss Army Knife than a precision tool for both typing and gaming. If you strive to only have one board to do both, the Ducky One 3 TKL should definitely be in the running.
