What will you mostly use it for?
The Galaxy100 has the edge across these use cases when wireless connectivity, remapping, or switch changes matter. Its compact 96% layout also makes it narrower than the MG108 for a setup where desk space or carrying size matters. The MG108 is the more straightforward fit for buyers who specifically want a conventional 100% layout and adjustable stand positions. Neither board is especially light, and the Galaxy100 is listed at 2000 g.
