Thoughts on the Ducky One 3 SF? (lemmy.ml)

So I want to try out using an ANSI layout. I've been using ISO all my life but there just are so few keycaps supporting ISO... I was thinking of getting a Ducky One 3 Yellow SF and putting Kalih Box Navy Switches in it and combining that with a Akko Black & Bronze ASA keycap set. I initially wanted to get the Akko Starry Night keycaps but they are no longer available locally to me. What do you think about that? Is the ducky a good choice? I like how compact it is and yet it has arrow keys.

Yes being Hot-Swap was very important to me. All the ducky one 3's are hot-swappable right? I have some older mechanical keyboards but they are not hot swap. For example i have one with red switches and It's really not bad at all but I just don't use it because i don't love the switches. If it was hot-swap i could just try out some new switches on it instead of buying a new board.

Thanks for your advice! I always like to double check that I'm not buying a brand that is generally regarded as poor quality or something.
