Our Verdict

Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED

Keychron K1

The Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED and the Keychron K1 are both low-profile, wireless mechanical keyboards, but they're designed with different uses in mind. The Logitech is a full-sized gaming keyboard with dedicated macro and media keys and companion software to customize its settings. It also has much lower latency, which is great for gaming. That said, the Keychron is a smaller, TenKeyLess keyboard that is versatile enough for gaming but isn't designed solely with gaming in mind. It can also be paired with up to three devices, whereas the Logitech can only pair with two. Each keyboard is available with clicky, tactile, and linear low-profile switches. The Logitech is also available in a TKL size.
