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.
Wooting 80HE
9 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuine, measurable competitive speed advantage from Hall Effect adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger — the board for competitive gamers, though not for typing-feel purists.
