| Pros , different | Hot-swappable PCB, so switches can be changed without soldering (Tom's Guide) Double-shot PBT keycaps and Cherry MX switches (Ducky) Tom's Guide called the typing experience outstanding and the typing sound lovely Tom's Guide found the build quality great, with a weight that stays put on the desk Three foot angles and a detachable USB-C cable (Tom's Guide, Ducky) | Hot-swappable PCB with Kailh sockets, so Cherry MX switches can be changed without soldering (Ducky, ProSettings) Double-shot PBT keycaps with a frosted surface; ProSettings found them crisp and durable Lubed stabilizers and foam dampening that ProSettings said work well out of the box Compact 310 x 110 mm footprint at 650 g (Ducky) Detachable braided USB-C cable and extra PBT keycaps in the box (ProSettings) |
| Cons , different | Wired only, with no Bluetooth or dongle (Tom's Guide) No companion software; macros and lighting are set by key combinations (Tom's Guide, IGN Middle East) Tom's Guide noted limited macOS support and a firmware update that is available only for Windows IGN Middle East found the stabilizers needed fine-tuning for the sound to match the board's build Plain wired feature set compared with Keychron or Akko boards that add QMK/VIA (IGN Middle East) | Wired only No companion software for lighting or macros (ProSettings) ProSettings noted a plastic case that flexes slightly when squeezed ProSettings reported key-registration and latency issues on certain firmware versions 60% layout puts arrows and the function row on layers |
| Research take , different | A solid-feeling wired TKL that reviewers like for typing, held back by missing wireless and software. Tom's Guide questioned its cost; choose it for the Cherry feel and keycaps, not for features. | A well-regarded compact Ducky for typing feel and sound. ProSettings recommends it for the stabilizers, foam and keycaps; the gaps are software, a plastic case and the reported firmware issues. |
