Royal Kludge S108
Score: 83/100
Razer Huntsman Mini White
Score: 80/100Rankings
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 60% wired keyboard that leverages Razer's Gen2 optical linear switches for ultra-fast 1 mm actuation, paired with doubleshot PBT keycaps and vibrant per-key RGB. Its small footprint and speed suit competitive gamers, though the plastic build and lack of dedicated navigation keys limit its appeal for typists.
