The highlights of the Ducky ProjectD range include:

Outlaw
Tinker

Ducky ProjectD wasn’t the only exciting brand-new product line up unveiled at CompuTex 2023. For the full breakdown of everything we saw, be sure to read through our dedicated blog article.

Ducky Outlaw

The Ducky ProjectD Outlaw has been expertly designed with enthusiasts in mind. You can customise every aspect of this keyboard from the backplate to keycaps. Thanks to support for both hot-swappable technology and QMK/VIA, you can freely swap between different types of key switches and tailor the software to ensure the ProjectD Outlaw perfectly suits your preferences.

Housed within a TKL shell with no dedicated F-key row, this small form factor (SFF) keyboard is perfect for any set up, but especially those with limited space. Finally, for that added splash of colour, there is per-key RGB backlighting that will illuminate all your keypresses.

Building your dream custom keyboard with the ProjectD Outlaw is easy, as this keyboard comes equipped with everything you need. This includes all the inner materials, such as the gasket, the outer shell, and all the necessary tools you need. The only things that aren’t included are your chosen key switches and keycaps, which you’ll have to purchase separately.

Ducky Tinker

The Ducky ProjectD Tinker has also been engineered for gaming enthusiasts, featuring both pre-built and barebone variants. You can fully customise the ProjectD Tinker to suit your gaming and typing needs.

Built from premium-quality materials, this keyboard has been fine-tuned to deliver superior performance and enhanced durability. Plus, you can find models with a variety of Cherry MX key switches and PBT double-shot keycaps for silky-smooth typing.

However, if the base key switches and keycaps don’t perfectly suit your preferences, the Ducky ProjectD Tinker is hot-swappable and compatible with QMK/VIA. As a result, you can freely customise the software and key switches, choosing from a plethora of sets from different manufacturers, to ensure you get the best possible performance out of this keyboard.

What’s more, if the colour of the keycaps doesn’t match your chosen aesthetic, then you can simply swap them for a set that does with models supporting both ISO and ANSI layouts.

Ducky 132

For those who pick a barebone Outlaw or Tinker, there is Ducky 132 keycaps. These keycaps are the perfect companion with your new shiny ProjectD Outlaw barebone keyboard. Compatible with both ISO and ANSI keyboard layouts, these keycaps have been constructed from durable PBT plastic with either single- or double-shot moulding. All of which deliver smooth typing that stands the test of time, no matter how intensive the gameplay gets.

Available in a multitude of colours, from classics including black and white to novelty sets such as Daisy or Dino.
