Year of the Pig 2019
Para o teclado do zodíaco chinês de 2019, a Ducky tem a honra de colaborar com o artista indígena contemporâneo de Taiwan, o Mestre Kulele Ruladen. O design se inspira no javali — um símbolo icônico na cultura da tribo Paiwan de Taiwan —, combinado com motivos da Divindade Cósmica, placas de bronze intrincadamente esculpidas e padrões de contas de vidro. Esses elementos culturais ganham vida no teclado por meio da tecnologia de sublimação térmica (dye-sublimation), enquanto a carcaça inferior de liga de alumínio adiciona robustez e um toque único.

Colaboração Artística com BOUNCE
Master Kulele Ruladen draws inspiration from tribal culture and ancient myths, blending three-dimensional sculpture with artistic craftsmanship to create a distinctive style. His works infuse traditional culture with fresh meaning, challenging stereotypes through a reflective and critical approach. This collaboration aims to showcase Taiwan’s indigenous heritage and exquisite metalwork, seamlessly integrating them with the art of mechanical keyboards.
Cherry MX RGB e Hot-Swap
Bronze is commonly used as materials for aesthetic creation by the Paiwan society. After communicating with Master Kulele Ruladen, bronze-red was chosen to be presented on keycaps of this limited edition, plus dye-sublimation techniques featuring various pictograms. (e.g. axe, bow and arrow, vine)
Design Interno e Acabamento
In Paiwan culture, the Cosmic Deity is regarded as the creator and origin of all things. For this design, Master Kulele Ruladen meticulously crafted the details in metalwork, presenting the relief prominently on the front as a striking centerpiece.
Keycaps PBT e Teclas Exclusivas
The back of the keyboard features an intricately engraved bronze plate depicting a Paiwan warrior facing a wild boar—a symbol of courage and the story of life.
Recursos, Conectividade e RGB
Inspired by the Paiwan tribe’s unique glass bead totems, the keycaps carry symbols representing love, courage, nobility, and agility. Through five-sided dye-sublimation, these motifs are vividly preserved, showcasing Paiwan cultural heritage throughout this Year of the Boar keyboard.
Layout de 65%
The 65% keyboard layout maintains the compact form factor of a 60% keyboard, but the key difference lies in the additional three dedicated keys in the upper-right corner, commonly used for productivity tasks (such as Delete, Home, or Page Up/Down). This design strikes a balance between space-saving aesthetics and everyday functionality, making it especially suitable for users who need both gaming performance and office productivity in one keyboard.
