Verdict

Keychron C3 Pro

7 / 10 Expert Rating

The cheapest legitimate way to get a hot-swappable QMK-capable mechanical keyboard from a known brand.

NZXT Function2

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A full-size board whose real strength is integration into NZXT's broader CAM ecosystem, appealing most to buyers already invested in that brand.
