Anne Pro 2 60% RGB vs Ducky One 2 Mini

Feb 4, 201918280 VIEWS

I've recently been looking into buying a new keyboard and I have narrowed it down to 2 boards, the Ducky One 2 Mini and the Anne Pro 2. I am going to use the keyboard for Fortnite primarily as well as browsing the internet here and there. I most likely won't be using the bluetooth feature on the Anne Pro if that factors in any way. If anyone can help me make a decision I will greatly appreciate it!

I'm looking at both of these keyboards as well. I'm swaying slightly towards the Ducky One 2 Mini, but not digging the white case. Do they make an all black version?

Flag the parent comment so it is removed. This individual **katron** is misleading us to follow the link and activate their amazon referral incentive. You can check for yourself, the URL contains a query string parameter tag, i.e. see after the question mark (?) in the URL: in this instance it is tag=wwwedupassorg-20 > Referral links are basically a, "please give me money without any effort from me" sort of deal.

Www.mechanicalkeyboards.com has the ducky one 2 mini in stock right now. And bang good.com usually always has both the Anne Pro2 and the AKko x Ducky one 2 mini (AKko is just the name of the distributor who makes ducky keyboards). I got my ducky for $86 and my Anne pro 2 for $71. But personally I'd recommend the ducky, but make sure you have researched 60% and know that they don't have physical arrow keys etc but still can do everything a full size can do plus more with a bit of learning.

If you want one of these, you should go to Gearbest.

As someone who has purchased both of these keyboards I feel I may be able to offer some insight. 1st things 1st if you're looking for the smallest form factor than you'll probably want to go with the Anne pro 2. The ducky one 2 is about half an inch longer than the anne pro 2. Another major difference is the ducky is always shipped with Cherry MX switches. Which isn't a bad thing but if you would prefer a different switch than the anne pro is for you. The anne pro 2 usually comes with Gaterons which are a clone to the Cherry MXs but it is commonly accepted that gaterons are more smooth. The ducky feels like it is made with slightly cheaper plastic as when you apply force the body does tend to flex whereas the Anne pro 2 does not. When it comes to RGB customization I feel the ducky has a leg up. It may just be user error for me but the Anne pro 2 software was hard to learn. Also the Anne pro 2 uses software to allow you to keep the functionality of the arrow keys and the ducky does not. Another thing to consider is the fact that the ducky is imported from Taiwan and is not available through most resellers. The Anne Pro 2 however can be found on amazon and fulfilled through Amazon prime. Ultimately they are both very great keyboards with very few differences. When people ask my opinion I generally offer the anne pro 2 as the better option at least here in the states simply because of the amazon prime option. Ultimately the 2 keyboards are VERY similar with only the key switches being the main difference. If you like cherry MX than go with the ducky.

SlockJawAlso I looked on Amazon and other sites and the Anne is sold out. I cannot find any dates for when they are getting restocked. Do you have any idea when?

Fl1ckUnfortunately I cannot offer any insight on when amazon will restock the anne pro 2, however I can attest to the ship time of the ducky as it's the only reason I even bought the anne pro 2, having to wait 1-2 months is a major pain IMHO

How to sell things on Drop & How Drop charge them?

Hi , this Kyle from China. Since a month ago, my team wanted to build a brand to produce the high quality of mechanical keyboard and headset to sell aboard. Now we already got the license to do so, and we can't wait to bring our products to meet everyone. But the products are still in the period of designing, it would take some time :( There are some questions we can't find the ways to solve - how to sell keyboard on Drop, and the details about how Drop charge per product? - Actually I sent an email to Drop Studio for some questions, but I didn't receive the answer.( Drop Studio also mentioned that they can contact me only if they were interested in my design / products ). So I'm here ask for help. If anyone can answer my question, I would really appreciate it :)

Black Friday 2024

Hey Drop, the official Black Friday is really late this year - 11/29. Do you plan to start a sale before then? If so, when? Extra credit: Hints about what to expect?

What is a good replacement circuit board?

I spilled on my DROP CSTM80 keyboard and damaged the circuit board. Where can I get a replacement circuit board? The ones on the Drop Shop site do not look the same as the one in my keyboard. Can you please make a recommendation? Thank you.

Is the drop alt v1 compatible with the official qmk configurator?

I use a Drop Alt v1 and much prefer flashing with compiled .bin files to using the desktop configurator app. Drop's online configurator has been refusing to compile keymaps, while the QMK online configurator at https://config.qmk.fm/ has keymaps for Alt v2 but not Alt v1. Are the Alt v2 and Alt v1 compatible enough that a .bin file compiled for v2 will work on my v1? Thanks for your help!

I'm unable to run the drop keyboard configurator setup

I have windows 11 and I've recently got the cstm80. I'm trying to flash the firmware, but I'm unable to run install the configurator. Every time I try to run the setup file nothing happens. The version I'm trying to run is: Drop+Keyboard+Configurator+Setup+24.9.6-322.exe I've tried running as admin, but nothing I do gets it to run. I'd appreciate any help.
