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.
Keychron C3 Pro
7 / 10 Expert Rating
The cheapest legitimate way to get a hot-swappable QMK-capable mechanical keyboard from a known brand.
