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.
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.
