Verdict
Corsair K100 RGB
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A feature-loaded full-size flagship for players who want a control wheel and macro keys alongside serious polling speed.
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.
