What will you mostly use it for?
The Neo Ergo is the more distinct choice for buyers who want an Alice layout, and its listed polling rate is a concrete gaming-oriented specification. The Neo60 Core is the more versatile pick across programming, travel, modding, and content creation, based on its 60% format, VIA support, and plate options. Office use depends on whether an Alice layout or a standard layout with ANSI and ISO choices suits your typing habits. Both are barebones kits, so the selection is about layout and hardware features rather than a complete, ready-to-type package.
Pick the Neo Ergo
- The Neo Ergo lists a 1000 Hz polling rate.
- Its gasket mount and Alice layout distinguish its typing setup.
