DrunkDeer A75 Pro

The A75 Pro is the upgraded version of the original A75, per HLPLANET. The maker lists a 75% ANSI layout with a CNC oxidized-metal knob, hot-swap support, 18 backlight modes, a top-and-bottom-cover gasket structure, 1000 Hz polling, 100 million keypress rating, a footprint of 340.9 x 150.5 x 46.7 mm and a weight of 1000 g. It comes in black or white with a choice between standard and silent magnetic switches and OEM or Cherry-profile PBT keycaps. Marketing copy on the same page also calls the mount a shock-absorbing tray mount.

HLPLANET found the board a good value, much heavier than the budget G-series because of a premium case with a metal-like texture, and measured about 4 ms single-key latency. It said DrunkDeer's Raesha switches feel as good as Gateron Jade. Hall Effect Products set it against the Wooting 60HE+: DrunkDeer wins on price and typing feel and offers a silent switch, while Wooting is better in software and warranty (four years).

One thing to check: the maker's materials list gives ABS for both top cover and bottom case, while HLPLANET and Hall Effect Products describe an aluminum case. The sources disagree, so confirm the case material before buying if it matters. Compared with the A75 Ultra, it is 1000 Hz, not 8 kHz.
