Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you require specific international layouts (ISO), want a barebones starting point for a custom build, or prefer screw-in stabilizers, the Keychron P1 is the clear selection. If you want a complete, out-of-the-box experience with a strong focus on acoustic tuning, innovative RGB lighting, and a lighter package, the Nuphy Halo75 V2 is the better option. Both deliver excellent core features like gasket mounts, QMK/VIA, and tri-mode wireless.
