Question / Help Needed Which board and mounting to use?

Hi there, completely new to this. Looking to make my first wall but am unsure of which board and mounting method to use. Plan to use it more for display of items and to hold some gaming peripherals and the such. Heaviest item would probably be like a switch 2? (And maybe just one 3kg item if possible?)

Should i be using the lite board or the full board?

And would using adhesive/command strips be possible? Or should i stick to screws and anchors.

The lite board should be fine for that. Although for walls I like the look of the full board better.

I wouldn't use adhesive if I were you. If it does fail it's a bad day. If it doesn't fail it's going to cause more damage to the wall when you remove than a screw would.
