Our Verdict

Das Keyboard X50Q

Razer Pro Type

The Razer Pro Type is better than the Das Keyboard X50Q. The Razer has better wireless connectivity, and a multi-device pairing feature. It also provides a better typing experience and has better software support. On the other hand, the Das Keyboard has dedicated media controls, full RGB backlighting, and a wrist rest.
