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 X

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid, no-frills entry into Razer's ecosystem, but the lack of hot-swap sockets is a real limitation at this point in the market.
