Anne Pro 2 60% RGB vs Ducky One 2 Mini
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?

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.

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.

40% case?
Hi. I am looking for a case for my MinVan. I find a lot of 60% keyboard cases but I don't find any specific for 40%. I assume that most of them work for a 40% too but is there anyone anyone have actually tried and can recommend? I have some custom keycaps that are a bit higher than the normal profile.
Thank you all in advance.

Transparent keykaps?
Hey community!
First time writing here. I have a question. There are many keycaps that are based on light shining through them so the letters are shining, but wouldn't you get much more out of the lightning if the transparent and non-transparent was switched? Is that a dumb idea? Do keycaps like that already exist?
Thanks in advance!

DROP should let us download the firmware source files like on config.qmk.fm
config.qmk.fm doesnt allow us to modify LEDs but DROP does. It would make it significantly easier for LED configs and then using qmk to use things like space cadet and other qmk functionality

GK21s first thoughts and more on DROP TAB idea
Shipping/Packaging: Shipping took a month or more from KPRepublic, weird journey (Coronavirus effects may make your mileage vary, maybe they're rerouting packages around to make sure nothing gets opened in the contagion window, but probably just weird logistics). Know that if you order one, you shouldn't get excited until the thing says out for delivery regardless of how close it looks.

The box was packed like a tank though. Looked just like a Varmilo 68Mg case but numpad sized. Comes with a metal switch puller like the Alt's but pot metal, and a cap puller, as well as a strange felt and wooden button carrying pouch with a slot for the instructions.

Material Quality:
Finish: This is one of the nicest anodizing jobs I have seen on things without an apple logo. The color is closer to space grey than the ALT is, and the bead blasting finer grained. Very Smooth. Color wise it doesn't quite match the MacBook Pros from last year in space grey, but it doesn't have...
