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.

Womier K87

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A surprisingly capable budget TKL that brings gasket-mount cushioning to an entry-level price.
