| Research take , different | A plain, well-built TKL that Tom's Guide rates for its typing experience. Pick it for build and keycaps; look elsewhere for hot-swap, wireless, RGB or app support. | 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. |
