They get you
- Full mechanical keyboards, ortholinear if you’re into that
- Modern components
- HIGHLY modular and repairable - their main thrust is making messing with your internals accessible
- No sticky goo coating
- Cyberdeck aesthetics (esp the Pocket reform)
They do NOT get you
- Low price - you didn’t mention a budget constraint
- Thin. They are chunky kids, though certainly the Pocket reform has a reasonably portable profile
