What will you mostly use it for?
The ND65 is the more travel-oriented choice in this matchup, and its wired polling-rate specification and RGB favor buyers prioritizing those features for gaming. The Neo75 suits office and programming setups where a function row, ISO option, or QMK/VIA support matters. It also has the stronger modding case, with several listed plate materials and separate configuration options. Content creators may prefer its larger layout, though either choice depends on whether compact size or extra keys matter more.
