Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you want a sturdy, traditional keyboard with a premium metal build and excellent battery life, the Epomaker Galaxy70 is the straightforward pick. If you are seeking ergonomic relief for your wrists and shoulders, or you value the ability to deeply reprogram every key via VIA/QMK, the Epomaker Split70 is the more specialized and flexible tool, despite its plastic construction.
