keyno Y·8 vs Dascom DAS 320Hot-Swap or VIA

Yes. Wuque Studio lists its PCB as hotswap, and the product metadata identifies it as hot-swappable. That makes it the more direct option if you want to change switches without soldering.

No. Its switches are soldered, so replacing them requires soldering. The vendor describes the installed switches as Cherry Vintage Black.

The vendor lists VIA compatibility for the optional RJ11-to-USB-C adaptor, including a DAS320 JSON file for VIA. The adaptor is a separate option in the listing, so confirm whether it is included with the configuration you choose.

The keyno Y·8 listing identifies a hot-swap PCB, but does not list VIA support. If VIA is essential, the DAS 320 adaptor is the option with explicitly listed VIA compatibility.

The vendor describes the DAS 320 as having Cherry Vintage Black switches. The product metadata also classifies its switches as linear.

The vendor listing identifies a Registered Jack (RJ11) 4P4C connector. It also lists an optional RJ11-to-USB-C adaptor for modern hardware and operating-system compatibility.

No. The adaptor listing specifies 6KRO and says it does not support NKRO. It also notes that the P1 to P4 keys release their input immediately even when physically held.

Both are listed as numpad keyboards, with ANSI standard layout and normal ergonomics. Neither is identified as a full-size keyboard in its product details.

The vendor listing says the box includes an RJ coiled cable. The RJ11-to-USB-C adaptor is presented separately as an optional add-on.

The keyno Y·8 is easier for switch replacement because its PCB is hot-swappable. The DAS 320’s switches are soldered, although its optional adaptor adds VIA compatibility and macros.
