Frequently Asked Questions - x Ducky One 2 Mini HYPERX

How do I customize the RGB lighting on the One 2 Mini?

Use the Ducky software (available on their website) or onboard shortcuts: Fn + Alt + T to cycle lighting modes, Fn + Alt + Z for color change. Save profiles via software.

Can I program macros without software?

Yes, using the onboard DIP switches and key combinations. Refer to the manual for specific macro recording steps: Fn + Alt + Tab to start recording, then assign keys.

How to clean the keyboard properly?

Unplug the keyboard. Use compressed air to remove dust between keys. For stains, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with water (no harsh chemicals) and wipe keycaps. Avoid letting moisture into switches.

Are the switches hot-swappable?

No, the Ducky One 2 Mini has soldered switches. Switch replacement requires desoldering and resoldering, which is not recommended without experience.

My keyboard is not recognized by the computer. What should I do?

Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the keyboard is in PC mode (toggle with Fn + Alt + P). Update drivers from Ducky’s site. If issue persists, test on another PC.

How to change keycaps on the One 2 Mini?

Use the included keycap puller. Gently pull upward from the sides of the keycap. Be careful with stabilizers (spacebar, shift, etc.). The keyboard uses Cherry MX compatible stems, so most aftermarket keycaps fit.

What does the DIP switch do?

DIP switches on the back allow hardware-level changes: Switch 1 swaps Caps Lock and Left Ctrl, Switch 2 swaps Right Alt and Fn, etc. See manual for full mapping.

How to reset the keyboard to factory settings?

Hold Fn + Alt + R for 3 seconds until RGB blinks. This clears onboard profiles and macro memory.

Is the keyboard compatible with Xbox/PS4?

It may work via USB for basic typing, but RGB and macro features may not be fully supported. For gaming consoles, check specific game compatibility.

What is the polling rate of the One 2 Mini?

The keyboard has a 1000 Hz polling rate (1 ms response time), ensuring low latency for gaming.
