Our Verdict

Ducky One 2

Drop ENTR

The Ducky One 2 is a slightly better keyboard than the Drop ENTR. The Ducky has one more incline setting, and all of its keys are macro-programmable. It also has onboard memory, so you can save up to six profiles on the keyboard and access them when you switch computers. However, the Drop feels better-built and has full RGB backlighting.
