Our Verdict

Razer Pro Type Ultra

Logitech MX Mechanical

The Razer Pro Type Ultra and the Logitech MX Mechanical are two wireless mechanical keyboards. However, the Logitech uses low-profile switches and keycaps, which provide a different typing experience from standard mechanical switches like the Razer has. The Razer is also better-suited if you want a multi-purpose board to game and work with as it has much better latency, whereas the Logitech is only suited for productivity tasks.
