What will you mostly use it for?

The Bridge75 has the edge for compact travel and explicit QMK support. Modding is a split: the Bridge75 lists QMK, while the ND104 adds reconfigurable controls, a barebones option, and screw-in stabilizers. Both share wireless and wired connections, VIA support, hot-swap capability, and a 1000 Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4 GHz modes.
