What will you mostly use it for?
The Ace takes the gaming comparison on its higher listed polling rate and offers a smaller footprint for travel. The Mix 87's larger layout, LED screen, and specified volume knob functions make it a more feature-oriented choice for office work and content workflows. Programming favors the Mix on layout size, though the inputs do not establish a difference in typing comfort or productivity. Modding is close because both offer hot-swappable magnetic switches, Rapid Trigger, and spare switches.
