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.

NuPhy Halo96

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A clean, well-built standard-height 96% that brings NuPhy's design sensibility to a more mainstream switch format.
