What will you mostly use it for?
The GMK108 takes the edge for gaming, programming and content creation through its broader listed connectivity and extra onboard features. The KB70W is the more office-oriented choice, particularly for buyers who need ISO-DE or prefer silent switches. Its larger battery also gives it the advantage for buyers prioritizing battery capacity, though both are full-size boards. For modding, the GMK108's barebones designation and specified switch socket types make it the more directly configurable starting point.
