Pros and Trade-offs

Your choice is fundamentally between a complete product and a premium project. If you want a working Hall Effect keyboard immediately at a very low cost and can adapt to a 60% layout, the AULA WIN60 is a compelling value. If you are a keyboard enthusiast planning a custom build, value a 75% layout, and are willing to invest more for higher-quality components and modularity, the Wooting 80HE PCB is the superior foundation. Budget and willingness to assemble are the deciding factors.
