Best for

What will you mostly use it for?

The Athena 75 has the edge for buyers who want a more compact layout, an LCD, and extra build options. The TOFULL is the more direct fit for office work or number-heavy tasks where a dedicated numpad matters. Both are wired, hot-swappable boards with VIA and VIAL support, which keeps the choice focused on layout and the Athena's additional display and lighting. For travel, the Athena is smaller by layout, but its listed 2300g weight is worth considering.

For gaming

Pick the KBDFans Athena75

  • The Athena 75's 75% layout leaves out the full-size numpad found on the TOFULL.
  • The Athena 75 includes RGB and an LCD, while the TOFULL is listed without RGB or a screen.
