What we liked

  • + Hot-swappable switches let you change the linear switches later without soldering
  • + Gasket mount with silicone and foam layers aims at a softer, quieter typing sound
  • + 98 percent layout keeps the numpad while saving desk space for mouse swipes

Trade-offs

  • - Wired USB-C only, no Bluetooth or Lightspeed wireless listed
  • - A tactile version also exists, so confirm the linear variant in the title before buying
