Ducky Cushion 98 Keyboard Launches at Computex 2026 With Nest Mount

Ducky revealed three new keyboard lines at Computex 2026, expanding its lineup with distinct designs for different user groups. The launch introduces a premium model focused on typing feel alongside entry-level and high-performance gaming options. This release targets both casual typists and competitive gamers seeking specialized hardware.

Flagship model introduces dual cushioning layers and hot-swappable switches for typists.

The flagship Cushion 98 features a Nest Mount design that aims to deliver uniform keystroke feedback across the board. It includes two cushioning layers beneath the switches to dampen impact. The keyboard supports wired connections, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless modes. Users can replace the Ducky Shush switches without soldering thanks to hot-swappable sockets.

The Cushion 98 also integrates south-facing RGB lighting for cleaner illumination patterns. A limited Year of the Horse Edition joins standard colorways. The entry-level OK-M series arrives in three layouts: a full-size 980 layout, a compact 65 percent model, and a mid-sized 75 percent version. These boards use a gasket-mount structure to reduce case vibration.

Pricing for the OK-M series ranges from $70 to $90 depending on the selected size. The premium OK-HE series targets competitive gamers with hall-effect magnetic switches. This line supports Rapid Trigger functionality and SOCD handling for complex input scenarios. It also simulates controller inputs and runs at an 8 kHz polling rate.

The OK-HE series shares the gasket-mount construction of the OK-M line but offers higher performance specs. It comes in 65 percent, 75 percent, and full-size 980 configurations. Ducky positions these keyboards as tools for players who need precise analog control and fast response times.

Ducky previously focused on standard mechanical switches before introducing hall-effect technology in this lineup. The new models fill gaps between casual typing boards and specialized gaming peripherals. Each of the new keyboard lines prioritizes versatile connection options by offering wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless capabilities.
