Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If a touchscreen for shortcuts, media, or unique functionality is compelling, and you want the highest specified polling rate for gaming, the AULA L99 is the clear pick.

Both offer solid tri-mode wireless connectivity and hot-swappable customization.
