Ducky Cushion 98 Gaming Keyboard, 96%, US Layout, Shush Red Switches - Nickel

The Ducky Cushion 98 combines a more compact 96% layout with an exceptionally soft typing feel. To achieve this, Ducky uses its specially developed Nest Mount and the quiet Ducky Shush Red switches. The linear switches move smoothly without noticeable tactile resistance. This makes the mechanical gaming keyboard equally suitable for fast inputs during gaming, long typing sessions, and everyday work.

• Quiet linear switches: Ducky Shush Red for smooth and consistent input
• Hot-swap: Mechanical switches can be replaced 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 specific points, a dedicated damping layer distributes the 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 Red: Quiet Switches with Linear Keystroke

The Ducky Shush Red switches have a linear characteristic. When pressed, the key moves down evenly without overcoming additional tactile resistance. The switches require 43 gf actuation force, actuate after 1.9 mm, and offer a total 4 mm key travel. The integrated damping reduces noise both when pressing down and when the key springs back.

Want a different typing feel later on? No problem. The Ducky Cushion 98 features hot-swap sockets, allowing you to remove and replace the mechanical switches with compatible models without soldering.

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 takes up 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. Up to four devices can be used via Bluetooth. The built-in battery has a capacity of 4,200 mAh and offers a runtime of up to 63 hours with lighting turned off.
