Our Verdict

Geonworks Venom 60 HE

DrunkDeer A75

The DrunkDeer A75 and Geonworks Venom 60 HE are both hall-effect gaming keyboards. The DrunkDeer is a fully pre-built keyboard while the Geonworks is only a custom PCB that requires you to buy all its separate components and build the rest of the keyboard yourself. The Geonworks also has better latency and input granularity performance, making it better-suited for high-level competitive play.
