What will you mostly use it for?
The Forged Flow has an edge in the listed categories where its vendor page gives concrete details on platform support, multi-device connections, latency, and tuning choices. The ZOOM64's clearest distinction is its listed clicky switch option, which may suit buyers who want that switch type. Both boards share the same core listed layout, weight, polling rate, Hall Effect feature, and connection types, so those specs do not decide between them.
