Limited to 2020 individually numbered units world wide, and featuring a unique design, this keyboard is a true functional artwork.

          Supply must outstrip demand if year of the rat is on sale weeks before year of the ox.

    Returned my Ducky One 2 under RMA as it would lag and stutter when attached via powered USB hub. Completely unusable. Very disapponted,

    • nfr on 07/01/2021 - 18:06

      How about without hub?

      • SilverGhoul on 07/01/2021 - 21:53

        Yeah often the usb hubs cause a lot of input delay

      • t3chshopper on 08/01/2021 - 15:54
        +1

        No big issues. My use case required a hub (actually a USB switch so I could share between home PC and work laptop.) I'd tried multiple hubs, with same issues.

    $300 plus PCCG's infamously high postage cost : for a 60% board with the styling and font on the keycaps seemingly designed for kids.

    I don't understand why people rave about Ducky, I bought their early k/boards before they even have the "Year of the X" stuff and its a competent product but nothing spectacular, and overpriced.

  • Nilfunds on 07/01/2021 - 17:19

    damn. put some pictures on keys and charge $300

    dual-layer PCB

    That's a really odd thing to put in the specs. Might as well say it was auto-routed for optimum trace length too.

          I think it also depends on the demand and market value for the product. For the PS5 or Xbox Series X, the actual going rate is above RRP since it’s sold out everywhere. For this product, demand is low and the current going rate is RRP. Nothing special here so no bargain

          • belongsinforums on 07/01/2021 - 22:18

            @FireRunner: rrp shouldnt be a matter, as rrp is arbitrary. low stock deals have their own forum page. perhaps a 'not low but limited and not on discount' will one day exist

            • FireRunner on 07/01/2021 - 22:44

              @belongsinforums: I've always thought "normal price" items should be a forum post rather than a deal. Like a PSA for those interested in said product. Perhaps a forum post for say the PS5 when a store has stock which those are interested in can subscribe to new comments. At the moment we've got posts for items which are in pre-order at full price with no ETA being posted as deals which is crazy in my mind but they appear to be popular though so unlikely anything will change

              • belongsinforums on 08/01/2021 - 00:12

                @FireRunner: Yep. Mods have said that as long as enough people pos vote, the rules of the site don't matter

    Seems to be a Limited Run, however ALSO at RRP for said limited run.

    No bargain listed unfortunately.

    • belongsinforums on 07/01/2021 - 20:19

        I totally am, just none was listed.
        Thats entirely what the plus minus system is for.

        Otherwise its just an advertising site, not a bargain site.

    So because you didn't get the positive feedback and upvotes you were after, you decided to delete almost the entire description and insert a snarky comment instead.

      Haha I just checked revisions. I feel bad for op. Imagine if you were a new user, saw consoles and Apple products get posted at rrp on a weekly basis, then decided to post this because it's also stock limited and new. Then you get barraged with neg votes from people who this deal clearly isn't a aimed at. Then a veteran further insults you.

      • Ibz on 08/01/2021 - 09:49
        +1

        I think OPs mistake is that they're taking negs on the deal as if they're negs on themself. It's honestly nothing personal, and if he took the time to explain then people would actually appreciate it. I posted my first deal and the retailer ended up being trash so I just agreed with the comments saying it was a shit deal, what can you do.

        • PlagueistheCheap on 08/01/2021 - 10:33

          Pretty sure this will be OPs last deal thanks to an unnecessarily aggressive 'community'.

        • sss9660 on 08/01/2021 - 10:44

          True. It was unnecessary for me to react.

            @sss9660: You're doing a good job putting the time and effort in to post deals, especially for niche stuff which we otherwise wouldn't see. Some people will appreciate this deal and others won't. As long as someone gets something out of it you've benefited the community. Don't get dissuaded. Ozbargain has people from multiple age groups and backgrounds, different things will appeal to different users

    Whilst this is not a bargain, and the aesthetic is not really to everyone's taste. I actually really like the look of this collectors edition. Thanks for posting.

    • sss9660 on 08/01/2021 - 18:27

      No problem and yes, I agree with you.

  • Wayne44 on 08/01/2021 - 12:04

    Do yourself a favour and get a Leopold, after a lot of research i finally left the mainstream brands and got an actually quality keyboard…Ducky is still way better than Corsair, Razer etc, and used to be almost on par with Leopold but I hear their quality control has slipped a bit in recent years…Sure Leopold doesn't have RGB if that really matters to you.

  • iridiumstem on 08/01/2021 - 14:09

    I think it's a nice keyboard. It's the first keyboard that Ducky released that's hot swappable (if I remember correctly), and I thought the whole graffiti aspect was a nice touch. I think these would have the newer Cherry switches with Hyperglide technology (the newly improved 100 mil actuation tested vs 50 mil from previous switches).

    Don't take the comments too personally, I think posting something RRP is opening a can of worm and a lot of the ones that people tend to let slide/like are ones that are not niche products that's been out of stock everywhere (i.e. PS5 and XBX). Even they get negged a lot. This keyboard unfortunately was a niche product that people who are not into keyboards wouldn't likely buy.
