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 V1
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The best entry point into gasket-mounted custom boards for under $100 — nothing else at this price feels this close to a hobbyist build.
