Our rating of the Endgame Gear KB65HE (8/10): A focused, esports-oriented Hall effect 65% from a brand known for competitive-grade precision peripherals. Our rating of the Glorious GMMK 3 TKL (8/10): A meaningful upgrade over the GMMK Pro that fixes its most common complaints and adds wireless without raising the price much.
