What will you mostly use it for?
The RT82 has the clearest edge for gaming, programming, modding, and content creation, largely through VIA support and its LCD. For office use, its silent linear switch option and screen are useful differentiators, while the Node75 touch bar offers another kind of control. The Node75 is the lighter choice for travel and is the option to consider if you need an ISO layout. Both share a 75% form factor, hot-swap support, and wireless connectivity.
