Our Verdict

Ducky One 2 Mini V1

Razer Huntsman

The Razer Huntsman and the Ducky One 2 Mini V1 are rather different keyboards. The Razer is a full-size keyboard with proprietary Optical Clicky switches, while the Ducky is a 60% keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. However, the Ducky is available in more formats and switch types. Unfortunately, the Ducky doesn't have software and all customization has to be done on the board directly. Also, its latency is much higher, making it less ideal for fast-paced gaming.
