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.
Keychron K3 Pro
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely slim mechanical board that keeps real hot-swap switches and open QMK/VIA programmability rather than trading them away for thinness.
