Our Verdict

Keychron K6

Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed

The Keychron K6 and the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed are 65% compact wireless keyboards, but they're designed for different uses. The Keychron is designed for office use, while the Razer is designed for gaming. You can set macros to any key on the Razer, and it has incredibly low latency and a Windows Key lock button. Both boards can pair with up to three devices via Bluetooth, but the Razer also has a proprietary receiver, which the Keychron lacks.
