Who each one is for

The Endgame Gear KB65HE is the one to take for competitive FPS players wanting a compact Hall effect board and rapid trigger enthusiasts, though it is not the pick for hot-swap tinkerers and wireless-only users. Buy the Glorious GMMK 3 TKL for GMMK Pro fans who want wireless and a bigger layout and anyone building their first hot-swap TKL board, though it is not built for buyers who specifically want the compact 75% footprint and minimalists who don't need wireless. It also earns its place with buyers who want pre-lubed switches and stabilizers out of the box. 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.
