What will you mostly use it for?
The HHKB Studio has the clearest edge for users who want integrated pointer controls or configurable touch inputs, making it a natural fit for programming and some desk workflows. Its Hall Effect listing is also a distinguishing gaming feature, though the supplied details do not specify gaming performance behavior. The Neo Neo60 Cu is more appealing for travel flexibility and hands-on assembly, with three connection modes and multiple mounting options. ISO layout support is another practical reason to consider the Neo.
