Our Verdict

Ducky MIYA Pro

Ducky Mecha Mini V2

The Ducky Mecha Mini V2 is slightly better than the Ducky MIYA Pro. The Mecha Mini has full RGB backlighting, it's better built with an aluminum frame, and it offers a better typing quality. The MIYA Pro is bigger so it has dedicated arrow keys and it has dedicated software to customize the keyboard.
