I've slightly used my friend's Ducky Mini with Reds. I would say that it's nothing too amazing, although if you want cool lighting and a 'unique' looking case, I would say go for it. Otherwise, there are many alternatives if you don't specifically want  the Ducky Mini.

Solid build, awesome backlight options (as always from Ducky) and looks cool as hell.

I have a Ducky Mini YOTH edition, and while it might be a little different, they are pretty much the same. It weighs a ton because of the aluminium case, but it feels really solid.

I am very tempted as well. The only aspect of the board I dislike is the lack of dedicated arrow keys. I adore my Tex Beetle. There's something about small keyboards and aluminum cases. Having LEDs makes it even more tempting. Unfortunately I've never typed on one. I've liked typing on other Ducky's before. If the quality is anything like their other boards I'd think it would be pretty good.
