Our Verdict

Vortex Race 3

Keychron K4

The Keychron K4 and the Vortex Race 3 are very different keyboards. The Vortex is a wired-only keyboard and can only be used with desktop operating systems, while the Keychron is a wireless Bluetooth keyboard and has a multi-device pairing feature. Both keyboards can be configured with your preferred type of mechanical switches, and neither of them has software support for customization. However, all keys on the Vortex are macro-programmable using a macro recording sequence on the keyboard. Our Vortex unit doesn't have backlighting, but you can get a variant that does. If you plan on using it for gaming, the Vortex has lower latency.
