Verdict
ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A well-damped, hot-swappable 96% board that proves numpad layouts can still sound and feel premium.
Keychron K2 HE
8 / 10 Expert Rating
One of the only wireless Hall Effect boards on the market, and it doesn't meaningfully compromise the magnetic-switch feature set to get there.
