Buying guides usually pretend there's one best answer. There isn't. There's a best fit.
The shortlist#
| For | Board | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The quiet office | Silent tactile | Won't annoy your neighbour |
| The enthusiast | Hot-swap 75% | Change switches without a soldering iron |
| The minimalist | Low-profile | Disappears into the desk |
How to choose#
- Type before you buy if you possibly can. Switch feel is personal.
- Hot-swap sockets are worth it — they let you change your mind.
Skip anything sold mainly on its lighting. The keys are the product.
