Our Verdict

Keychron J2 [J4, J5, etc.]

Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS

The Keychron J2 and the Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS are budget keyboards, but the J2 is the stronger performer almost across the board. It's a wireless, hot-swappable mechanical keyboard with PBT keycaps, true N-key rollover, and lower latency, and it also scores better for build quality, typing quality, and wireless versatility. The SKIFF 100 PLUS answers back with six dedicated macro keys, a quieter typing experience compared to the switches we tested on our Keychron unit, and a full-size layout with a numpad the compact J2 skips entirely.
