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.
