Ducky is one of the oldest manufacturers of mechanical gaming keyboards, both as a manufacturing partner for other brands, and for its own first-party brand. The company brought two of its latest wireless keyboards to Computex 2024, both of which are variants of the One X. One of these is full-size, and the other 60%. Both feature fully hot-swappable key switches and keycaps. The keyboards feature inductive analog switches with rapid trigger, which forms part of the Ducky QUACK Mechanics+ architecture, along with 7-layer keystroke dampening. You can connect the One X in three ways—USB (both type-A and type-C) for the least latency, RF wireless (lower latency wireless but which requires the included dongle), and Bluetooth (convenient).

The Ducky One X 65% Year of the Dragon special edition is a work of art, with its two-tone aluminium body, Chinese cultural inscriptions across the body, and an oriental crystal keycap set resembling Mahjong blocks framed by clear acrylic. The keyboard features a Soaring Dragon inscription, along with a special set of Esc and Spacebar keycaps with the Seal of the Dragon. Under the hood, the keyboard gets German-made Cherry MX2A Purple RGB switches, which are hot-swappable. Ducky plans to make only 999 pieces of the Year of the Dragon.

YEYIAN is an up and coming gaming lifestyle brand that's spreading to new markets around the globe. The company made its CES debut this year with a host of new gaming peripherals and PC hardware. We begin our coverage with their peripherals. We first went hands on with an interesting new 65% format keyboard called simply the "Ultra Compact Transparent Keyboard." Nearly all its body panels of this wireless keyboard is transparent, letting you see the PCB underneath holding all the user-replaceable key switches. The keyboard gives you the option of a low-latency 2.4 GHz RF, and Bluetooth. In Bluetooth mode, the keyboard supports 3 simultaneous channels. It uses a rechargeable battery that can fast-charge in a hour, providing up to 10 days of stand-by time.

The next keyboard is more premium, and wired. It's called the "Mechanical Keyboard_Cherry Switch." It's probable that YEYIAN will come up with new names for these keyboards that are easier to recall. The wired keyboard comes in a 75% (82-key) format in a compact body size. The start attraction here is its latest generation CHERRY MX2A switches, which are pre-lubricated. YEYIAN has opted for the MX2A Speed Silver switch with integrated RGB lighting. Next up, are two ultra lightweight wireless mice, the YEYIAN Drift and YEYIAN Dominate.

Some of these key sets are designed to match the prints on Xtrfy's GP5 series Amnis Blue Edition mouse mats.
