Ducky Feather Black & White Ultralight Gaming Mouse, Kailh Switches, USB

The influence Zowie has had on the gaming mouse market can hardly be overstated. Both their shapes as well as their plug-and-play, no software approach have left a lasting impact. Accordingly, the Ducky Feather is one of the many mice standing on the shoulders of Zowie, though not without adding its own flair. First of all, the shape is pretty much exactly that of the Zowie FK2. But whereas Zowie has done away with the side buttons on their most recent FK-B series, the Feather still is fully symmetrical; i.e., with side buttons on both sides. What's more, the button orientation can conveniently be swapped through a series of button combinations, and if needed, the side-button PCBs themselves can be swapped or flipped to make the buttons protrude less, too. In general, Ducky has realized a near-unprecedented level of on-device customizability on the Feather: polling rate, lift-off distance, CPI, button orientation, shift functionality, RGB configuration—the only thing missing may be click latency. Unlike on the FK2-B, the Feather also comes with buttons visually separated from the shell, which has the clicks feel more uniform across the entirety of the buttons.

The Ducky keyboards are known as being some of the best but now the Ducky Feather gaming mouse has them branching into the lightweight gaming mouse market. After the Ducky Secret and Secret M, they have a lot to prove but with Huano 50M switches and a weight of just 65g, the Ducky Feather Blue Edition could be interesting. But how about the Ducky Feather vs Glorious Model O and MM711?
