Full-size, TKL (no numpad), or 60–75% compact. Smaller frees desk space; full-size keeps the numpad.
Wireless adds convenience; hot-swap sockets let you change switches without soldering. Both raise price — and both swing on sale.
Aluminum frames and PBT keycaps feel premium and last longer. Cheap ABS caps shine and wear quickly.
Typical price tiers — and where Cartlyt's 90-day history helps you buy at a genuine low instead of an inflated “sale.”
Budget
$40 – $80
Solid wired boards, basic switches. Excellent value for first-timers.
Mid-range
$80 – $160
Hot-swap, wireless, better keycaps. The enthusiast value zone.
Premium
$160 – $400
Custom-feel boards, gasket mounts, premium materials.
Cartlyt enforces every constraint — budget, rating, shipping — at the data layer before results reach the AI. Start with one of these:

Reds for fast gaming, browns for balanced typing, blues for tactile clicks. Cartlyt lets you set switch type as a hard constraint so only matching boards show up.
If you might experiment with switches, yes — it saves soldering and future-proofs the board. The premium is small and often disappears on sale.
Never. Cartlyt takes zero affiliate revenue. Rankings are driven by price authenticity, reviews, and your constraints.
