What will you mostly use it for?
The Margo has the clearer fit for buyers who prioritize per-key lighting and named QMK/VIA support. The TOFU65 V2 Vior stands out for switch changes without soldering and its choice of plate material. Office use is a close call, with the Margo's included sound-dampening parts contrasting with the Vior's stated typing angle. For travel and gaming, the shared wired 65% format does not establish a decisive winner.
It's a tie
- Both use a wired connection and a 65% ANSI layout.
- The Margo has per-key RGB, while the TOFU65 V2 Vior has a hot-swap PCB; neither listing gives a specific gaming performance advantage.
