Score: 83/100
Razer Huntsman Mini Black
Score: 68/100Rankings
The RK Royal Kludge S108 blends a striking retro typewriter aesthetic with a full-size 108-key mechanical layout, blue clicky switches and vibrant per-key RGB lighting. It offers solid build quality via an aluminum frame and a detachable wrist rest, but lacks software customization and can be noisy.
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.
