What will you mostly use it for?
The Barocco is the more flexible pick for buyers who want a split arrangement or a listed linear switch option, and it offers several layout choices. The Air One better suits users prioritizing a low-profile design, travel weight, or macro layers. For switch modification, neither is a hot-swap option, and the Air One also requires low-profile replacements. Both can serve compact wired setups, but their layout and typing formats differ.
