Quick verdict

Which one should you get?

Get the

AULA L99

Hot-swappable

Build quality in the top 40% of 98% boards under $150.

Rules this board out

  • Compact full-size layout. The numpad is present, the gaps of a full-size board are not.

Get the

Ducky Origin Vintage

Build quality in the bottom 10% of 100% boards under $100.

Rules this board out

  • Switches are soldered. Swapping them means soldering.
  • South-facing LEDs. Shine-through legends stay dark, and some sculpted keycaps can clip the LED.
