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 Q1 Max

9 / 10 Expert Rating

Premium custom-keyboard feel, build, and programmability at a fraction of a custom build's cost — the best mechanical keyboard for most people, barring competitive 2.4GHz needs.
