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?

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

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.

Operator Mono?
Sorry I can't help it but I'm addicted to this font. What is the chance of getting a keycap set with it? Some of the fonts I'm not too hot on TBH, but operator mono is awesome sauce.

1u function, alt and control keycaps on skylight series?
I just got the drop skylight series keycaps set for my tofu 65. at the time i did not realize it was not compatible. So far I really liked the set. It’s everything I need in a set and more however there is no 1u function, alt or control keycaps. I am just wondering if there are any plans for an expansion of some kind. Thank for your help.

Can we look into the F13-F24 binding issue on MDLoader and Drop keyboards?
The online configurator allows for the binding of F13-F24 keys, however they do not work. There is a fix listed online on Github: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/4601 Seems like the online configurator needs this fix. This has been reported by user Sargasm and Koldy (myself) on Drop's site here. Also, multiple users across issues on Github, and Reddit posts. This is a huge hindrance that I would love to get resolved, and it seems multiple users would like as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/olkb/comments/lbm78f/f1324_keys_dont_seem_to_be_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/kvlqnt/how_do_you_get_f13_and_beyond_to_work_on_the_drop/ https://github.com/Massdrop/mdloader/issues/12 https://github.com/Massdrop/mdloader/issues/48 Pinging @AlexPk and @YanboWu, as I was advised you guys were community and mech keys leaders out here.

More GMK sets that a made for TKL, 65% like the GMK Red samurai
I've recetnly purchased the 65% set for the red samurai, and I would really love to order more. However, sets like GMK blue samurai, GMK laser, GMK gaijin, etc. don't have this option. The price for 65% is so good for what I've gotten and I would love to see more of this being implemented for other GMK sets. I would buy way more sets.

Drop ALT: Quality Garbage PCB
Yeah this is what your PCB will look like after a simple hotswap. Yet another garbage pins with even more godawful garbage PCB design. Two pins dead. One, I can trace the godawful traces and solder it. The other, the PCB goes f*ck-god-knows-where and after trying several times, all failed. Don't you just love a spacebar-less keyboard? Absolute quality. And "customer sUpPoRt" won't issue a replacement PCB nor admit fault so here's another f-cking $75 for a brand new Alt PCB which they claim iT iS NoT CoMpAtIbLe just so I can have a goddamn keyboard to use. Consider that the last buck I'll ever give you. Maybe next time hire someone with an actual degree to design your PCBs so people can actually do something with it when your godawful pins fall out which seems like inevitable.
