The Ducky Cushion 98 combines a more compact 96% layout with an exceptionally soft typing feel. For this, Ducky relies on the specially developed Nest Mount and the quiet Ducky Shush Green switches. They provide noticeable feedback with every keystroke while remaining pleasantly subdued. This makes the mechanical gaming keyboard equally suitable for long typing sessions, everyday work, and extended gaming evenings.
- Compact 96% layout: Many functions of a full-size keyboard in a smaller footprint
- Soft keystroke: Ducky Nest Mount distributes damping evenly across the keyboard
- Quiet tactile switches: Ducky Shush Green with clearly perceptible feedback
- Hot-swap: Mechanical switches can be exchanged without soldering
- Flexible connection: Choose between 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, or USB-C
The Ducky Cushion 98: Mechanical gaming keyboard with a special typing feel
The heart of the Ducky Cushion 98 is the Ducky Nest Mount. Instead of damping the keyboard only at certain points, a dedicated damping layer distributes pressure evenly across the board. This makes the keystroke feel soft and controlled. At the same time, typing noise is reduced. This tuning quickly becomes noticeable, especially if you type a lot or share your setup with others.
Ducky Shush Green: Quiet switches with noticeable feedback
The Ducky Shush Green switches have a tactile character. When pressed, you feel a distinct resistance, making it clear exactly when your input is registered. The switches require 45 gf actuation force, actuate after 2 mm, and offer a total 4 mm key travel. Their integrated damping reduces noise when pressing the key down without making the keystroke feel mushy.
Would you prefer a different typing feel later? No problem. The Ducky Cushion 98 features hot-swap sockets, allowing you to remove and replace the mechanical switches with compatible models without soldering.
Two tunings for the Nest Mount
The aluminium top cover has a quick-release mechanism and can be opened without tools. Inside, you can switch between the two supplied damping layers. The pre-installed layer is tuned softer, while the additional damping layer is firmer. This allows you to adjust the keyboard’s typing feel to your preferences.
Compact 96% layout for work and gaming
- Space-saving Compact-980 layout
- Separate number pad retained
- PBT keycaps in Cherry profile
- South-facing per-key RGB lighting
The Ducky Cushion 98 uses a compact 96% layout. This gives you many functions of a large keyboard including a number pad, but requires less desk space. This leaves more room for mouse movement during gaming. The PBT keycaps in Cherry profile are designed for fast typing and gaming.
Three connection options for your setup
You can connect the Ducky Cushion 98 in three ways: via 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, or USB-C. Bluetooth supports up to four devices. The built-in battery has a capacity of 4,200 mAh and provides a runtime of up to 63 hours with the lighting off.
The gaming keyboard remains flexible in configuration as well. Using the browser-based DuckyHub, you can adjust functions and lighting without downloading additional software. Additionally, the Cushion 98 supports VIA.
