What will you mostly use it for?
The Alice98 takes most categories for buyers who value its Alice layout, numpad, knob and listed customization features. The GMK87 is the more fitting travel-oriented choice based on its smaller 80% layout, though its weight is not listed. Gaming is a modest edge for the Alice98 on the strength of its explicitly listed N-key rollover, not a guarantee of lower latency. Both boards offer multiple connection modes and hot-swap.
Pick the Feker Alice98
- The Alice98 explicitly lists N-key rollover.
