What will you mostly use it for?
The Minilo has the clearest advantage for office work, programming and content creation, where its larger layout and extra controls matter. The C68 Cat’s smaller layout and larger battery make it the travel-oriented choice. Gaming is a close call because both support three connection modes and N-key rollover, though their listed switch options differ. For modding, the Minilo’s broader switch-type selection and gasket mount give it the edge.
It's a tie
- Both boards support Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz and wired connections, plus N-key rollover.
- The Minilo offers multiple switch types, while the C68 Cat is listed with clicky switches.
