Review: Ducky One X, the world's first inductive switch keyboard for gaming and typing
The One X is the first to the market with all-new switch tech for keyboards. Using in-house inductive switches, it offers linear actuation with great feedback, rapid/multi-trigger, web app, and more.

Wasn't there are 2am when I checked
will read nowBloody hell, wasn't expecting it to be that in-depth, good review. I can't tell though how I feel overall, the things I'm most disappointed about even though they may seem minor are the left side usb port, not being full metal housing, and well that's probably it.
I was hoping it would make me hype and not care about the price but I'm not feeling that much. That said, I'm still hovering on the product page lol.

Yeah I asked them about the USB port location and to be fair they did say it was because this was what their internal surveys showed, most people prefer a left sided port apparently.
I think they should have offered a metal option, Keychron does with the Q6 Max, and it is better off for it as the typing feel and sound is even better.

10am was the embargo time
Typing noise between all three:
Assuming they are all stock (switches and keycaps) the Keychron sounds FAR and away the best. Ducky is passable but the Wooting sounds cheap, very plasticy.

The Wooting feels it too which was unexpected given it costs about the same as the other two, also yes the Keychron is just another level of sound/feedback, but it is normal mech switches so no rapid trigger or actuation control. I find the Keychron keycaps also feel nicer due to the better profile shape.
The problem is Wooting only do this one as a full size model, the 80 and 60s are only that size so you can't get a full zinc shell with the latest switches in full size like you can on those. So this is the "latest" full size Wooting offer.
Yeah, although I'd likely say Wooting are doing that based on how popular full sized boards are now, especially for gaming.
I can understand full size (sort of?) for office based work but for gaming 60/75/80 are so much more popular right now.

Yeah, although it's not like 60% or 80% boards aren't viable for multi-function, especially 80%. I've been using 60% boards since around 2018 for work and gaming without any issues and a large majority of my work is functions/work flows.
I'd expect Wooting to release an update to the full sized board at some point this year or next either way, the 80HE came out last year and they spent the 2 years before that refining the 60 and the 60 module - so it feels like that's the one area that is still a little behind their other offerings.
You're still missing a whole bunch of keys even with 80% though, buying a numpad on its own is just extra faff as well, another thing to charge/plug in and you then can't configure the buttons the same way as you could with custom macros and things on the main keyboard etc, made doubly faffy if on a multi-device setup like I am 5 days a week when WFH.
