| Pros , different | Adjustable actuation from 0.2 to 3.8 mm (maker, GameRevolution) Aluminum frame and PBT keycaps (GameRevolution) Upgraded stabilizers and foam give a tighter sound (GameRevolution) 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and wired Full numpad | Three connection modes: 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.1 (three devices) and wired, with 1000 Hz on 2.4 GHz and wired Muffled sound with little case resonance from layered foam and a double-gasket design (AppleInsider) Thick aluminum shell that XDA Developers says will not move on the desk; Keychron lists 1,724 g PC plate, hot-swap sockets for 3-pin and 5-pin switches, QMK/VIA and a knob Gateron Jupiter Red, Brown or Banana switches come pre-installed on the assembled version 4000 mAh battery, rated up to 180 hours by Keychron |

| Research take , different | A highly rated full-size Hall-effect board. The size is its main limit. | The most complete mechanical 75% in the Q line: reviewers praised the build, the sound and the 2.4 GHz option. The tall caps and fixed slope are the recurring complaints, so a wrist rest is worth budgeting for. |
