For the past several years I've been using a Logitech G910 mechanical keyboard and I've been very happy with it. But it's big. It takes up a good bit of my desk real-estate and combined with the tendency for mousepads to be rather big, it gets a bit cramped. So I started looking for alternatives and saw that quite a few gamers had begun to use mini mechanical keyboards. That was intriguing. I kind of like minimalism and in more than aesthetics, but in functionality as well. I liked the idea of cutting away the keypad and minimizing the formfactor. Previously I had looked at the brand Ducky, because I liked their sakura themed keyboard, which was smaller in formfactor and generally felt very appealing. At the same time, one of my friends bought a mini keyboard and told me about it and I really liked what I heard, so I started looking into Ducky's other keyboards, where I found their mini keyboard. The Ducky One 2 Mini, also a mechanical keyboard.
Now that is a sleek looking keyboard! And I decided that I had to have it. Sure, it would take some time to get use to. But that shouldn't be a problem, I have previously switch from using the mouse left handed to right handed after all, because I was so fed up with the lacking array of left handed options on the market. So getting use to a mini keyboard shouldn't be a problem, right? Well it remains to be seen, as I only just got the keyboard 2 hours ago. Obviously the major thing to get use to, is the lack of arrow keys. For gaming that doesn't matter, but for programming it matters quite a lot. Sure there are arrow keys with the use of the FN key, but it's not that handy. I'm sure I figure out how to get around the problem or get use to using the FN key.
