Verdict
HyperX Alloy Rise 75
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely enthusiast-grade gasket-mounted 75% from a mainstream brand, priced to compete with custom boards.
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.
