Know before you buy
Compression-molded connections provide a cleaner, more seamless look by eliminating the bulky, rubbery heat-shrink tubing often found on standard cables. This construction also offers superior durability and a more secure fit at the connection points.
The Ducky Afterglow V2 uses a standard USB-A to USB-C connection, making it compatible with the vast majority of modern mechanical keyboards that feature a USB-C port.
The aviator connector serves two purposes: it adds a premium, industrial aesthetic to your desk setup and allows you to quickly detach or swap the keyboard-side portion of the cable without unplugging the entire cord from your computer.
The cable measures approximately 183.62 cm (about 6 feet) in length. This is more than sufficient for most desk configurations, allowing for easy routing from a PC tower or monitor hub to your keyboard.
While the PET nylon and PU plastic reinforcement makes the cable robust and durable, it maintains enough flexibility to be positioned comfortably. The coiled design is intended to stay tidy on your desk while providing enough stretch if you need to reposition your keyboard.
