Verdict

Ducky One 3 SF

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A compact enthusiast favorite whose stock keycap quality and acoustics genuinely punch above its price, without full QMK/VIA programmability.

Epomaker HE80

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely capable, budget-friendly way into Hall Effect gaming, even if the software polish trails the premium brands.
