What will you mostly use it for?
The AK820 Pro has the edge for buyers who want a pre-built keyboard, built-in media controls, and a smaller layout. The GMK87 is a better fit for a hands-on build and a larger 80% layout. Their shared tri-mode connectivity and gasket mount make the choice less about core format and more about setup preference. Both listings flag south-facing RGB and the absence of a numpad.
