Keychron K6
Keychron Q1
The Keychron K6 is a 65% compact wireless board, while the Keychron Q1 is a 75% compact wired board. The K6 has more incline settings, and you can use it wirelessly via Bluetooth and pair it with up to three devices at once. It also comes with shine-through keycaps, which help make the legends easier to read in a dark room. On the other hand, the Q1 is hot-swappable, and it comes with customization software to set macros to any key. Also, while we bought the fully-assembled variant, the Q1 has a barebones version. The Gateron Phantom Brown switches feel a bit heavier than the Gateron Brown switches on our K6 unit, but not by much. The Phantom switches on our Q1 have a brown casing, so setting the backlighting to white looks red instead of white like on our K6. However, you can swap out the switches for ones with a transparent casing if you prefer.
