YUNZII lists the QL75 as a 75% keyboard with 84 keys, hot-swappable switches, QMK and VIA programmability and RGB backlight. It connects over Bluetooth, 2.4GHz or USB-C and switches between 5 devices, with pre-lubed Cocoa V2 switches (the spec table lists Gateron brown) and round punk keycaps.

Camiysn lists the MK-STORM as a 104-key typewriter-style mechanical keyboard with blue switches, round keycaps and a white and gold finish. It connects over USB with plug-and-play stated for Windows, Mac and Linux, and the keycaps use a two-color injection molding process. One contradiction: the title says gold LED backlight while the bullets describe multiple white light modes, so we trust the bullets on the lighting. All keys are anti-ghosting and the rear feet adjust. No warranty term is stated.

Who it's for: a writer who wants a full-size clicky typewriter board at a simple wired setup. Who should skip it: anyone who needs wireless, a warranty term or quieter switches.
