Keyboard Scores

Every keyboard on KeebFinder receives scores from 0–100 across five categories. Scores are derived from specifications, features, price-tier comparison, and community popularity — so a budget board can score highly if it delivers great value relative to its price bracket.

Overall Score

The number shown on product cards is a weighted combination of four categories plus a popularity bonus of up to +8 points. Portability is excluded from the overall score since it depends entirely on use case.
