Pros and Trade-offs

The Azio FOQO Pro is the definitive choice if you value the ability to easily change switches later, as it is the only model confirmed to be hot-swappable and includes the necessary tool. If you are satisfied with the pre-installed Gateron Brown switches and do not plan on modding, the standard FOQO offers the same premium build and features, potentially at a lower cost. Your decision should be based solely on the need for future switch customization.
