You can buy the Ducky One 3 Pro Nazca Line keyboard from Overclockers UK starting at £99.95 (Full size) and £69.95 (60%), currently on sale HERE.

Pros:

• Good typing feel.
• Full on-board controls may appeal to some who want to avoid software.
• Decent sound profile on the majority of keys.

Cons:

• Full plastic build.
• Wired only.
• Rattle on spacebar stabiliser.
• Full on-board controls (with no software) can be confusing.

KitGuru says: The One 3 Pro Nazca Line is a decent board, but falls short due to a full plastic build and underperforming stock stabilisers.
