Verdict
Keychron Q1 HE
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely premium case wrapped around competitive-grade magnetic switches — the Q1 Max's typing feel with the Wooting 80HE's competitive edge, at a fair price.
Razer BlackWidow V4 X
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid, no-frills entry into Razer's ecosystem, but the lack of hot-swap sockets is a real limitation at this point in the market.
