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.

Wooting 80HE

9 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuine, measurable competitive speed advantage from Hall Effect adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger — the board for competitive gamers, though not for typing-feel purists.
