Verdict

Glorious GMMK 3 TKL

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A meaningful upgrade over the GMMK Pro that fixes its most common complaints and adds wireless without raising the price much.

Keychron K2 HE

8 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the only wireless Hall Effect boards on the market, and it doesn't meaningfully compromise the magnetic-switch feature set to get there.
