METAPHYUNI PD75M vs Shurikey gear HanzoAluminum 75% vs Retro 65%

The METAPHYUNI PD75M features a CNC-machined aluminum alloy chassis, which typically offers a more premium and solid feel than the Shurikey Hanzo's ABS plastic case. The PD75M also uses a gasket mount design with internal foam, which is a higher-end construction method.

No, the Shurikey Hanzo does not have RGB lighting according to its specifications. The METAPHYUNI PD75M, however, features south-facing RGB LEDs with customizable lighting effects.

Yes, both the METAPHYUNI PD75M and the Shurikey Hanzo are listed as hot-swappable. This means you can change the switches without soldering, though you must ensure the new switches are compatible with the keyboard's PCB.

The Shurikey Hanzo is likely more portable. It has a smaller 65% layout and an ABS plastic case, which should be lighter than the PD75M's substantial 2200-gram aluminum chassis. The Hanzo's vendor also emphasizes a long battery life for wireless use.

The METAPHYUNI PD75M comes with linear Kailh ice cream switches, according to its vendor description. The Shurikey Hanzo comes with clicky Varmilo EC V2 electrostatic capacitive switches, which offer audible and tactile feedback.

The vendor description for the METAPHYUNI PD75M explicitly lists Mac/Win support, indicating compatibility with macOS. The Hanzo's description does not specifically mention Mac support.

The METAPHYUNI PD75M has a larger 5000mAh battery, while the Shurikey Hanzo has a 4400mAh battery. However, the Hanzo's vendor claims over 30 days of use with the backlight off, a specific claim not made for the PD75M, making direct runtime comparisons difficult.

The METAPHYUNI PD75M has one metallic multimedia knob that controls volume and screen settings. The Shurikey Hanzo features two knobs, which are used to adjust system volume and keyboard backlight brightness.

Yes. The PD75M uses dual-tone OEM height PBT keycaps, which are more resistant to wear and shine. The Hanzo uses original height ABS two-color molded keycaps, which may develop a shine over time but offer a specific aesthetic for its retro themes.

The METAPHYUNI PD75M is better suited for a quiet office. It comes with linear switches, which are significantly quieter than the clicky switches on the Shurikey Hanzo. The clicky switches on the Hanzo would likely be disruptive in a shared workspace.

Both support Bluetooth and wired connections. A key difference is that the METAPHYUNI PD75M also includes a 2.4 GHz wireless mode via a USB dongle, which the Shurikey Hanzo lacks. The 2.4 GHz mode often provides a more stable and lower-latency connection.
