Title: Does anyone know anything about the ducky mini?
Post by: wes1099 on Fri, 29 August 2014, 16:58:35: I have been looking at the ducky mini and I was wondering if anyone had any reviews or comments about it.

No, that's actually what it is. They use the same PCB and everything.

Yeah, the poker2 has support on the PCB for ISO or ANSI. I thought it was pretty nice and used the extra LED locations for unnecessary underPCB lighting when I added LEDs to my poker2

lol. Silly ducky. I think ima buy one then since the poker 2 is good, ducky is a good company, and I like ducky mini backlighting colors better than the poker 2.

Nothing can be worse than the caps on my quickfire TK, and I can always replace the caps if i want to.

I just got a non-backlit poker2 and installed whatever LEDs I wanted. I think I'll put cyan ones in it next time I have it apart.

Yeah that's not just a poker 2 that's the brand new redesigned ducky mini. There was an original ducky mini that was just a poker 2 with a ducky logo on it.

Post by: katushkin on Wed, 03 September 2014, 00:23:27: There is a new one coming out soonTM. It has quite a big metal border round it which looks a bit strange, but it will come in ISO layout. Which is nice for a small board.
