Keychron K2 HE
8 / 10 Expert Rating
One of the only wireless Hall Effect boards on the market, and it doesn't meaningfully compromise the magnetic-switch feature set to get there.
Leopold FC900R
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A no-frills, exceptionally well-built full-size board for typists who care more about switch feel than RGB or features.
