What will you mostly use it for?
The Carbon60 is the more straightforward fit for buyers who want a compact layout with a low-profile build and more keys than a 40% board. The TH40 suits users who specifically want a split spacebar and programmable layers in a smaller layout. Travel and modding depend more on personal priorities: both share wireless modes and hot-swap support, but their dimensions, mounting, and materials differ. For keycap changes, check the Carbon60’s low-profile-only fit requirement before buying.

“I'm using it well. However, it would be nice if the right shift key was smaller so there was only one more key. Thank you for making a great keyboard.”

“Overall good little keyboard for the price, other 40s cost more but better quality, also I could not find a few characters mapped on this one, not in manual or online.”
“The keyboard is very solid ooverall, but frequently will type two letters instead of one on key press. This is a very frustrating issue and leads to many typos. Without this problem, it would easily be a 5-star keyboard.”
