Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you want a compact keyboard with a softer, gasket-mounted typing feel and are willing to forgo a numpad, the Ajazz AC100 is the clear pick. If you require a full layout with a numpad, value integrated sound-dampening materials, and want the option for a control knob, the Ajazz AK35I V3 Max is the better option. Consider your desk space and whether you prioritize a cushioned sound profile or a more traditional, dampened one.
