Verdict
Glorious GMMK 2
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A well-rounded, affordable QMK/VIA custom board that improves on the original GMMK in every meaningful way.
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.
