What will you mostly use it for?
The LUMA100 is the practical choice when one board needs to handle ordinary typing and numeric entry, including office and programming work. The TH26 suits buyers who already have a main keyboard and want a smaller companion for numbers, shortcuts or creative controls. For travel, its lower weight and compact numpad form factor are more convenient, though it cannot replace a full keyboard. Both have wireless and wired connectivity, hot-swapping and customization support, but the LUMA100's low-profile switch requirements make the TH26 the more flexible option for standard mechanical switches.
