Our Verdict

Ducky Mecha Mini V2

Ducky One 2 SF

The Ducky Mecha Mini V2 and the Ducky One 2 SF are extremely similar keyboards. Both are available in a wide variety of Cherry MX switches, offer outstanding typing quality, and don't have dedicated software. However, the Mecha Mini is slightly better because it's built with an aluminum frame.
