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.

Keychron K3 Pro

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely slim mechanical board that keeps real hot-swap switches and open QMK/VIA programmability rather than trading them away for thinness.
