Verdict

Cherry MX 10.0N

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A premium low-profile board whose genuine Cherry-branded switches give it a manufacturing pedigree most low-profile competitors using third-party switches can't claim.

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.
