My favorite keyboards from those I tested in 2025 – in a couple of made-up categories. :)

This affordable 75% board arrived from Kemove: Dierya DK81E with gaskets, rotary knob, and nice lights.
A head-turning 75%-ish Hall-effect board with circular display and knob: the Battleye 74.5 RT by Dry Studio – for sophisticated gamers.
An ultra-affordable 60% HE keyboard: Dareu COOL60 – frosted case, matching caps, per-key RGB, wrist strap. 8KHz reporting rate, 0.01mm RT resolution for gamers. For just $42?!
A 75% wireless keyboard for RGB fans: the KiiBOOM Jade75 in a resin case.
A 65% magnetic board with awesome custom switches and extremely pleasant typing feel: Glitter65 HE by MoeeTech.
The 75% wireless Womier ERA75 is a very fun build. Nicely cut alu case in six themes, hotswap switches and encoder, double-shot caps, VIA support. The DIY stickers will keep you busy for some time.
The Redragon Eclipse K720 Pro is a 75% wireless gamer(?) board with pretty impressive features for the price: CNC alu case, display, knob, cool decoration lights.
The Evoworks Evo75 is an elegant 75% tri-mode wireless keyboard with ball-catch and leaf-spring structure, coming in a multitude of beautiful variants. Meticulously designed and tuned for an exceptional out-of-the-box typing experience.
The Cornix is a fancy Corne-derivative, designed for the masses by Jezail Funder Studio: pre-built, wireless, CNC alu case, cool tenting. I love it!
I reviewed KiiBOOM's Phantom81 Lite, a cute wireless 75% keyboard with silly froggy keycap design – in a shiny molded ABS case.
My thoughts about the MX tilting kits by 3dkeycap – a Kickstarter campaign running at the moment.
The Syntech Chronos 68 is a cute little 65% HE board in an aluminum case. Packed with Hall-effect features mainly for gamers.
The NPKC RO75, NPKClub's first self-developed model, is a bang-for-your-buck 75% wireless keyboard in a hefty alu case, with cool matching keycaps.
