Our Verdict

Keychron K6

Corsair K70 RGB TKL

The Keychron K6 and the Corsair K70 RGB TKL are two very different keyboards designed for different uses. The Keychron is a wireless compact 65% keyboard, and you can connect it with up to three devices at once via Bluetooth. It's available in tactile, linear, and clicky switches, while the Corsair is only available in linear. On the other hand, the Corsair is a wired-only TKL keyboard designed for gaming; it has much lower latency, macro-programmable keys, and the Cherry MX Speed switches on our unit have a low pre-travel distance.
