Verdict

Epomaker RT100

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A feature-rich, screen-equipped 96% that stands out visually as much as it performs functionally.

Keychron V1

8 / 10 Expert Rating

The best entry point into gasket-mounted custom boards for under $100 — nothing else at this price feels this close to a hobbyist build.
