Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you require a full set of keys for office work or prefer a softer, gasket-mounted typing feel with extensive VIA customization, the QK108 is the clear winner. Opt for the Epomaker Glyph if you value a compact, retro-styled keyboard with a large customizable screen for content creation or a more portable setup, and can forgo the number pad and VIA support.
