The Ducky One X isn’t what I expected it would be. While I know just how well this brand can create a super smooth typing experience, I wasn’t quite prepared for the relaxed, almost serene feel as my fingertips tapped along these keys. This is a Hall effect keyboard for those who hate Hall effect keyboards - which is good because it actually uses the brand’s own inductive switches instead.
While similar in their operation (you’re still getting that precious rapid trigger), these clickers feel far different to the rest of the magnetic decks I’ve tested so far. Whether that’s enough of a trade off for some of the sacrifices the Ducky One X makes comes down to what you want from your next deck. If it’s a smooth and speedy ride with plenty of extra actuation controls, then this could be the best gaming keyboard on the market for you.
