Pros and Trade-offs

Your budget and need for a number pad are the primary deciding factors. If you require a full-size layout for work or gaming and want the best features at a lower cost, the Epomaker QK108 is the practical choice. If you value a premium metal build, a compact form factor, and enjoy the process of building your own keyboard, the Epomaker GLOW75 kit justifies its higher price.
