Verdict

Akko 3098B

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A full-numpad wireless hot-swap board that punches above its budget price point.

Razer BlackWidow V4 X

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid, no-frills entry into Razer's ecosystem, but the lack of hot-swap sockets is a real limitation at this point in the market.
