Our Verdict

Keychron K6

Logitech K845

Although the Logitech K845 and Keychron K6 are both mechanical keyboards, they're quite different. The Logitech is a full-size wired-only keyboard, while the Keychron is a 65% keyboard that can be used wired or wirelessly via Bluetooth. The Keychron has full RGB backlighting, while the Logitech is white-only. The Keychron has a multi-device pairing that lets you pair up to three devices simultaneously so that you can switch easily between them. If you plan on gaming, the Keychron has lower latency in wired mode.
