Verdict

Keychron K3 Pro

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely slim mechanical board that keeps real hot-swap switches and open QMK/VIA programmability rather than trading them away for thinness.

Keychron V6

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The best overall value pick — QMK/VIA, hot-swap, PBT keycaps, and Mac/Windows compatibility under $100, a board you can grow with for years.
