What will you mostly use it for?
The Neo75 CU has the clearer fit for office layouts, programming customization, and travel, mainly because it is smaller, lighter, and supports ISO. Modders may prefer its tool-free case access and VIA support, although both boards are hot-swappable. Gaming is a close call because both share wireless and wired connectivity and N-key rollover. The Neo80 is the pick here for buyers who want the larger TKL form factor for content-creation work.
It's a tie
- Both list Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired connectivity.
- Both are hot-swappable and support N-key rollover, according to their product details.
