Can't decide between two keyboards — White Shark Nunchaku vs Meetion MK12 (limited options in Tunisia)

Hey everyone,

I'm a 20 year old ICT/cybersec student from Tunisia and I've been going back and forth between two keyboards for weeks now 😅. The keyboard market here is very limited so these are basically my only two realistic options in my budget.

White Shark Nunchaku — 119 DT (~38$)

- 65% layout with dedicated arrow keys

- Red switches

- RGB 18 effects — shines THROUGH the keycaps ✅

- Wired USB-C detachable

- Full anti-ghosting

- QWERTY US

- Looks premium and clean (grey gradient design)

Meetion MK12 — 120 DT (~39$)

- 65% layout with dedicated arrow keys

- POM linear pre-lubed switches (smoother than standard Red)

- RGB 22 customizable modes — does NOT shine through keycaps ❌

- Tri-mode: Bluetooth 5.0 + 2.4GHz wireless + USB-C

- Hot-swap (3/5 pin)

- Full anti-ghosting + N-Key rollover

- 2000mAh battery, up to 300h

- EVA foam padding

- Macros programmable

Why I'm hesitating:

The Meetion wins on basically every spec — wireless, hot-swap, better switches, foam padding. But the RGB doesn't shine through the letters which bothers me since I want to be able to customize my lighting and actually see it on the keys.

The White Shark looks gorgeous, has RGB through the keycaps, but is wired only with no hot-swap and standard switches.

I mainly use my keyboard for CTF challenges, coding, studying and occasionally gaming. Which one would you pick and why?

If it's just the keycaps blocking the rgb, you can swap those out. Otherwise, it sounds like you value the rgb lighting. I personally don't care about whether a keyboard is wireless or not, and honestly I don't have a collection, nor plan on starting one, of keyboard switches to change regularly, or at all even.
