This comparison is for buyers deciding between two aluminum barebones kits from Neo. The choice is difficult because both share core features like tri-mode wireless, hot-swappable PCBs, and VIA programmability. The primary trade-off is between the Neo Ergo Alice's ergonomic split layout and the Neo75's more compact yet functional 75% form factor. Your decision hinges on whether you prioritize ergonomic design or a traditional layout with arrow and function keys.

Select the Neo Ergo Alice if your priority is ergonomic comfort and you are willing to adapt to a split layout for long typing sessions. Opt for the Neo75 if you need a traditional 75% layout with dedicated keys for productivity and prefer a keyboard with multiple mounting options. Both are capable tri-mode barebones kits, so your workflow and typing style should guide the choice.
The Neo75 is the more practical choice for office and programming tasks due to its standard 75% layout with dedicated navigation keys. For travel and modding enthusiasts, the Neo Ergo Alice's smaller footprint and gasket mount design offer advantages. Gaming and content creation are a tie, as both keyboards provide the necessary performance and customization features. The final decision rests on your need for ergonomic design versus a traditional key layout.
