What will you mostly use it for?
The DYNA GT has the edge for gaming and content workflows that can use its higher polling rate, magnetic switches, screen, or knob. The Evo80 is the more straightforward fit for programming and office setups that need QMK/VIA or ISO-DE. For travel, the Evo80’s listed carrying case gives it a practical advantage, though both offer wireless connections and the same listed battery capacity. Modding favors the DYNA GT’s hot-swap magnetic setup and selectable parts, while its switch compatibility is narrower.
