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.

Womier K87

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A surprisingly capable budget TKL that brings gasket-mount cushioning to an entry-level price.
