Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Mini

Ducky One 2 Mini V2

The Razer Huntsman Mini and the Ducky One 2 Mini V2 are both 60% compact wired mechanical keyboards, but the Razer is overall better for gaming. The Razer has a significantly lower latency so you shouldn't notice any delay even while playing fast-paced games, and it has easy-to-use software for RGB customization and macro programming. Also, the Razer feels much better-built, thanks to its plastic and aluminum frame. While both are available with different switch types, the Razer is only available with proprietary optical switches, whereas the Ducky is available with Cherry Mx, Gateron, and Kailh switches.
