Ducky teases their Cherry MX Low-Profile Blade Air mechanical keyboard
Cherry MX Low-Profile keys are designed to enable the construction of thinner mechanical keyboards and potentially bring mechanical keys to more laptops, with Ducky’s latest design offering a slim 22mm thickness and support for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS mobile devices, delivering both USB Type-C and Bluetooth connection types.
This keyboard also offers double shot key switches, making these keycaps more resistant to wear than painted laser etched key switch designs while allowing the keyboard’s RGB backlighting to shine through with greater clarity.
Below are Ducky’s listed specifications for their Blade Air engineering sample, though most of the information below is about Cherry’s MX Low-Profile series key switches, which are only available as non-tactile red series versions at the time of writing.
