Our Verdict

Logitech MX Keys S

Keychron B1/B6 Pro

The Logitech MX Keys S and the Keychron B6 Pro are wireless low-profile keyboards for productivity tasks and everyday browsing. The Logitech has superior build quality, better premium materials, and a more premium-feeling typing experience. It also has full per-key backlighting, and shine-through legends, both of which the Keychron lacks. In contrast, the Keychron offers more customizability with lightweight, web-based software and ZMK firmware support. It also supports both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connections, which the Logitech lacks, providing a higher polling rate of 1000Hz. However, this doesn't translate to a significant difference in performance compared to the Logitech.
