Ducky, a revered name among mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, continues its legacy of striking collaborations, and this time, it partners with Bethesda to pay homage to the iconic boomer shooter, Doom. The latest creation is a limited edition 65 percent board that stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the classic game. Adorned in a sinister black hue with blood-red accents, the keyboard’s real showstopper is its PBT keycaps. Each keycap is a canvas, completely covered in an image of the formidable Doomslayer, wreaking havoc on a horde of demons, capturing the essence of the game’s relentless action.
A revamped version of the Ducky One 3 SF serves as the foundation for this special edition. Boasting a distinctive double-layered case, N-key rollover for gaming precision, integrated silicone and foam dampening for enhanced typing experience, hot-swappable switches for customization, and RGB lighting that demands to be set to “hellfire red.” While themed keyboards are not a novelty, the full-width print on this board, particularly the somewhat audacious depiction of Doomslayer, sets it apart. The keycaps, crafted from dye-sublimated plastic, ensure the image remains pristine, impervious to the wear and tear from regular use. Notably, these exclusive keycaps will not be available elsewhere.
Ducky’s DOOM Edition One 3 SF is a truly limited offering, with only 666 pieces produced in thematically appropriate ANSI and ISO layouts. Each unit bears a unique production number engraved on the plate at the case bottom, adding a touch of exclusivity. Priced at $149, this exclusive keyboard is currently available at MechanicalKeyboards.com, offering a choice of Cherry MX Red, Blue, Brown, Silent Red, or Silver switches.
