Score: 74/100Rankings
The RK ROYAL KLUDGE X108 blends a vintage typewriter look with modern mechanical features. It offers a solid aluminum build, blue clicky switches, and extensive RGB customization, but lacks wireless connectivity and hot-swap capability.
The Huntsman Mini is a ultra-compact 60% gaming keyboard with ultra-fast linear optical switches and vibrant per-key RGB. Its premium PBT keycaps and detachable USB-C cable make it portable, but the plastic chassis and rattling stabilizers limit its premium feel.
