What will you mostly use it for?
The AK35i V3 takes the edge for office tasks and content work where a numpad, screen, or volume knob is useful. Bridge75 is the more compelling fit for gaming and programming if its stated polling rate, N-key rollover, or QMK/VIA support matters to you. Its 75% layout also makes it the smaller of the two, though its weight is not listed here. For modding, both are hot-swappable, but Bridge75 adds named firmware support.
Pick the Shortcut Studio Bridge75
- Bridge75 lists a 1000 Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4 GHz modes.
- It supports N-key rollover.
- The AK35i V3's vendor description specifies a short 1.5mm pre-travel for its customized Avocado switches.
