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.
Varmilo VA87Me
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A boutique board whose artistic keycap theming and stock quality give it genuine visual and tactile identity, without hot-swap flexibility or programmability.
