Ducky One 2 SF Keyboard

[VSG]

Ducky adds to their popular One 2 keyboard series with the 65% form factor One 2 SF. With arrow keys and more dedicated keys compared to their Mini series, and a lot of onboard controls over lighting and functionality included, it makes for an attractive little keyboard (and mouse, too).

It should be called Duckling...

Ducky enjoys a larger, global retail channel, but continues to entertain direct purchases

Ok, so how one exactly orders a kb from Ducky directly? I don't see a store option on their website. Or does the "direct" part mean you can walk into a retail store in Taiwan?

There are Skype channels to order from, but they are trying to not use that route for people in countries with an exclusive distributor in place.

Both of us don't have it. I peeked at the site, didn't find anything either.

The closest official distributor is CaseKing and they only offer DE layout.

You could try using their contact form, I see that there's an option for "purchasing or store information".

I wonder if the prices are better using this direct approach

Hey,

in step 4 you are showing some switch pictures. As I have some key chattering, I want to check if a top opening of the switch is possible. Can you give me any details on that?

Thanks!

Hello, these switches are soldered through the plate and onto the PCB so you would have to desolder the chattering one to replace it/the top from what I see. Unfortunately, I am halfway across the world from this and everything else at the moment so I am unable to verify this for sure. Can you see if you can get an answer from Ducky or Mechanicalkeyboards.com (their distributor in the US who may be more amenable to your time zone)?

I think the information helped me enough. I will try some vacuum and cleaning first again and see if it is getting better.

FYI: I modded my SF by adding a foam unter the PCB, top lubed the switches and added some kitchen roll in the space bar and under the space bar between plate and pcb (MX Red Silent). From my understanding and feeling it is no pretty nice for a standard keeb. Only some minor spring noises I would like to change. But therefore I would have to desolder the switches as I learned now ...
