| Research take , different | A dependable typist's full-size that Eurogamer liked to use but found hard to justify on value. Pick it for the build and PBT keycaps; look elsewhere for hot-swap, wireless or lighting. | A sturdy office full-size whose build, knob and hub earn GoMK and PC Gamer's praise. Expect to lube the stabilizers and consider replacement keycaps; skip it for wireless, macros or hot-swap. |
