Verdict
Drop ALT
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A hobbyist favorite for good reason — a genuinely solid aluminum case that gets out of the way and lets you build the board you actually want.
Logitech MX Mechanical
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The practical office daily driver — quiet, refined, exceptional battery life and smart ecosystem features, but sealed and not hot-swappable.
