Our Verdict
AUKEY KM-G9
Ducky One 2 Mini V1
The Ducky One 2 Mini V1 is a far better keyboard than the AUKEY KM-G9. It has full RGB lighting, all its keys are programmable, and it's better built. It also offers one of the best typing quality we've tested. On the other hand, the lack of dedicated arrow keys on the Ducky might be a deal-breaker for some, and the AUKEY has them.
