Pros and Trade-offs

The Weikav Lucky80 is the clear winner for users who want a feature-rich board with hot-swap, RGB, and a massive battery. However, it is currently out of stock and uses a PLA case material. The Weikav STARS80 is a better choice for modders who prefer a barebones aluminum build and are willing to forego RGB and hot-swap for a customizable foundation. If you need a keyboard now, the STARS80 is available; otherwise, wait for the Lucky80.

  • +Designed as a DIY kit/barebones, giving modders a clean slate to build from.
  • +Available in multiple color options (Black, Carmine, Silver) and in stock.
  • +Tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, Wired) offers wireless flexibility.
  • −No RGB lighting, which limits visual customization.
