In this case, I have provided above an example sound clip of me typing on the MK Night Typist keyboard sample at ~115 WPM as it comes out of the box with the Cherry MX Brown switches. So when comparing sound clips, consider the keyboard as a whole. Of course, you can reset macros per profile, as well as the entire keyboard if you messed up big time and want to start all over again.Īs always, the sound of a keyboard is based on more than just the switch type. Indeed, there is already a set of pre-programmed macro functions to the Fn+ layer in addition to the others, which includes more shortcuts, as well as mouse cursor and click controls. A variation of Ducky's own keyboard macro settings is seen here in the form of the so-called MK Macro, which allows for as many as six profiles to be saved onboard the device (profile 1 is the default), and macro recording (including keystroke delays in as little as 0.02 s intervals) or assigning controls allows for further customization to help get work done efficiently.
There are other onboard controls, including locking the Win key, and pre-programmed secondary functions are tied to the F1 key row, such as shortcuts to bring up the default mail client, browser, multimedia controls, and so on.

The manual also includes a quick look at the various layouts to give you a visual indication of what each looks like before you commit to making the change. Here is the link to the full results if you are interested, including a detailed analysis on key presses and distances moved.
#Mk typist pin driver#
As such, the driver offers a significant functional tool if you are willing to devote some time to adopting either Colemak or Dvorak. If you are willing, try out Colemak or Dvorak as they will result in less finger travel and fatigue overall. The results above indicate that QWERTY is not even close to the most efficient layout for me, and very likely you as well. As seen above, I used the source code from an older keyboard review in a layout tester ( courtesy of Patrick Gillespie).
This is really where the crux of the MK Typist and Night Typist is, allowing extensive typing customization via simple onboard controls combined with the easy switching of the keycaps using the provided keycap puller. Remember those dip switches from before? The manual describes 16 different combinations of the four dip switches in on/off states for ten different typing layouts, including QWERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, Norman, MiniMak, and even Alphabetical.
