⌨️ We're back in keyboard territory this week, looking at Keychron's latest 75%-size budget mechanical boards. One is slim, one is... thicc, and there are a few more differences that you need to know about too.
I'll show you which of these I'd recommend buying, why they're a bit like Pokemon, and of course, you can hear what they sound/feel like to type on.
