What will you mostly use it for?
The Galaxy100 Lite has the edge for buyers who want QMK/VIA customization, a knob or an aluminum case.

South-facing RGB is common to both, with the same stated caveat for shine-through legends and some sculpted keycaps.

“I like the feel and the sounds the keyboard has. However, one of the foot is missing, and there's no feature to disable the backlight from numlock.”
“Had it for maybe a month or two and it no longer works, the lighting is gone and it won’t even turn on now”
