What will you mostly use it for?
The Neo takes the clearer lead for gaming and travel because it offers a listed polling rate and wireless connections. Office use is close: both have compact layouts and VIA, with wireless on the Neo and an integrated wrist rest on the Dusk 67. Programming is also a close choice, while the Dusk 67 provides more listed plate materials and a more complete set of included components for modding. For content creation, the Dusk 67's included keycaps and plate mean fewer components to source separately.
