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.

Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A full-size flagship whose extra physical dials and rollers genuinely add manual control options beyond what a typical gaming keyboard offers, at the cost of desk space.
