Verdict
Ducky One 3 Mini
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The same excellent build quality as the rest of the One 3 line, shrunk down to the smallest practical footprint.
HyperX Alloy Origins 60
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A well-built, travel-friendly 60% board let down only by the lack of wireless at this price point.
