In the world of gaming peripherals, finding the perfect keyboard that combines gaming performance with everyday usability can be a challenge. Enter the ASUS ROG Falchion RX, a compact and low-profile keyboard designed to meet the needs of both gamers and everyday users.
Satechi has entered the mechanical keyboard market with the SM1, a 75% low profile mechanical keyboard with tactile switches, wireless connectivity, and WIN/MAC OS compatibility. But can it stand out in a market with fierce competition?
At first glance it may look like NuPhy simply started a new line to offer a TKL layout, but the Gem80 is vastly different than the Halo series. It takes a step into “custom” keyboard territory, with the base price being a barebones partially-assembled kit that doesn’t include keycaps or switches.
Keychron’s original V1 was not a bad value, offering QMK customization for under $100. But the V1 Max takes it to a whole new level, offering multiple upgrades but keeping the price at $94.
The NuPhy Air75 V2 introduced several upgrades to NuPhy’s low profile keyboard line. But the Air96, which came out in early 2023, already had a few upgrades over the original Air75, so the V2 updates aren’t quite as substantial.
The Keychron K3 Max adds the one thing missing from the K3 Pro: a 2.4GHz connection. Is the Max now truly the top of the line low profile keyboard?
The battle for the title of best 75% low profile keyboard rages on, and NuPhy has a new top-tier offering in the Air75 V2. The features and specs now make it stand alone atop other low profile mechanical keyboards, but the Lofree Flow still offers a couple things absent in all other offerings.
The original NuPhy Air75 was, in my opinion, one of the best options on the market for a 75% low profile mechanical keyboard. The V2 now makes improvements in several key areas that were potential drawbacks to the original. Is it still the top choice?
The Monsgeek M1 came out as an all-metal 75% wired keyboard at the accessible price of $99 for a kit without switches and keycaps. Now, the M1W adds wireless connectivity and only a modest price increase, to $109 USD. Is the wireless model an overall improvement, or is it a step backwards for Monsgeek?
The Epomaker TH80 Pro is a popular entry-level 75% mechanical keyboard, available on amazon for $90 and often discounted, featuring tri-mode connectivity and quality switches. Is the TH80 Pro the best budget-friendly option out there?
