Pros and Trade-offs

Your priority should guide this choice. If you want a complete, out-of-the-box wireless keyboard with excellent battery life and sound dampening, the Monsgeek M7W is the simpler solution. If you are a hobbyist who values unlimited programmability through QMK/VIA, plans to heavily mod the acoustics, or prefers a lighter board, the Weikav Lucky65 V2 is the more capable platform despite its smaller battery.
