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.

How to Make A Keyboard Enthusiast?
Hello! I saw this keyboard in the morning email today (https://drop.com/buy/nym-84-aluminum-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=linkshare&referer=Z2JXCA) and I am aware of the three Drop branded keyboards, and I just have to ask: What makes these special?
As someone who only uses Apple-bundled keyboards, a $10 Rosewill keyboard, and touchscreen keyboards, what experience do enthusiast grade keyboards offer over “merely functional” keyboards?
I imagine there’s some value to it. I’m aware of the popular Cherry MX switches (Brown are quieter, Blue are louder... and Red are also louder? Clear are good for LEDs I guess?) and that there’s many other companies (OUTEMU?) and in-house designs (like Razer) making different mechanical switches, and that they offer a more crisp “click” at the tip of your finger than the plastic bubble of a membrane keyboard. I also get that something colorful, whether by LED or colored keycaps, can bring aesthetic enjoyment and make the desktop have a certain...

What is the difference between the Normal Gateron Switches and the Gateron Inks?
I have been wondering about the differences between the normal gateron switches and the gateron inks considering the gateron inks are much more expensive than the standard ones.

Would You Guys Wanna See More Artisans?
Hey all The Skeleton here i've been talking with some users of geekhack and been seeing all of there amazing artisans and I have told them of getting more artisans on MD and they weren't exactly pleased they don't think artisans belong here.

But what do you think? Would you want some more artisans on Massdrop, they would of course have to be small drops but they would still be there at least.

Hungarian Keyboard Layout
Does anyone know of a brand that makes keyboards (or keycaps) to support a Hungarian keyboard layout? Is there any workaround for these weird foreign layouts if someone would like a decent keyboard?
Thanks!

ABS or PBT?
Ah the ancient keyboard argument what keycap material is better ABS or PBT. lets run through what makes each of these plastics special
ABS
cheaper
smooth
shiny (depending on the caps)
easily smudge able (depending on the quallity)
usually thinner
PBT
More expensive
textured
matte or semi matte
usually cannot smudge
generally thicker
Both PBT and ABS can have double-shot legends applied to them and both have been used in high quality sets.

So who wins? Well I sure don't know but you probably do and I want your opinions so please post which plastic is better AND what set you love most made from that plastic. :3
Or if you like POM caps that's cool too.

Name of a specific artisan keycap I saw before?
Someone created a custom keycap for the Esc key which was translucent bright red with the word "Detonate" or a synonym to that word implanted into the key cap. It was making out as if the Esc key acted as a last ditch option for a situation that happened on the PC monitor.

Any plans to support custom brightness settings for ALT & CTRL Configurator?
Absolutely love the intuitive user interface for controlling custom LED color layouts for the the ALT keyboard but would love to be able to set a default brightness value on firmware boot. I dock my laptop and each time the power cycles to the keyboard it forgets my selected brightness and reverts to the standard which is generally far brighter than I would like.
