Ducky One3 Daybreak SF Brown Cherry MX Switch Keyboard - UK Layout

An absolute joy to type on.I am a software product manager by trade so spend ALOT of time writing detail requirements and user stories, this keyboard has improved my typing speed and also I actually look forward to typing on it, speeding up my creation of documents and requirements.Also its compact so frees up space on my desk and is great to game on, although I bought it for productivity over gaming.Its also very satisfying to use so well done, highly recommend :)

I work as a Software Programmer and previously was running with a KeyChron K8, TKL. That was a beautiful keyboard and had multiple configuration options that help the user adapt ro different situations, such as the option to switch to Mac or PC mode, and also to make the F-keys require the `Fn` button or to invert the map on them and have the F-key operate it's F-function on standard press.Anyways, I ordered this keyboard having heard good things about Ducky, and previously having missed out on a TKL from Ducky due to layout availability, ordered this keyboard instead of replacing my Keychron. What a stupid mistake. Running EMacs keys with my IDE I am missing almost all essential shortcuts I used to use with my Keychron -- `fn + alt + F4` to close a program- `ctrl +fn + Insert` to copy (must be ctrl + fn + insert)- `shift + fn + delete` cut a selectionNeedlessly to say, every binding with eMacs keys is a handful, and it is clear the creators do not consider it important to support them.Since using this keyboard, I have also found many unexplainable quirks on PHPStorm that I haven't found with any other keyboard (Keychron K8, Varmilo VA87M, non-mechanical Cherry), such as the fact that I can't use `shift + Esc` to close toolbars, that existing custom keymap settings are blocked by the built in 'funcitons' of the keyboard.If I could wipe all the special functions from Ducky from this keyboard (yes I'd even lose the lights, IDC), then I would give this product a higher rating

Absolutely lovely keyboard to game and type with and the MX Cherry Brown switches are super satisfying with a lovely Thocc when typing.

Initially, it was fine, then gradually as I played games with it (about a week in) the w key would not hold in games about 50% of times (if I press and hold W to walk forward in-game, it would register the initial press, but then an immediate release despite still holding the key), this is quickly starting on other keys as well.
