| Pros , different | True 8 kHz polling and scanning with about 0.125 ms input speed in Tachyon mode (Wooting) Rapid Trigger and per-key actuation from 0.1 mm, with four onboard profiles saved in the keyboard (Wooting) PC Gamer found the typing feel excellent, with less switch wobble than the 60HE's L60 switches ABS (606 g) or aluminium (945 g) case, with silicone, EPDM or no bottom dampening on the aluminium version (Wooting, WIRED) Optional split spacebar adds an extra programmable key for the left thumb (PC Gamer, WIRED) Four-year warranty, excluding the LEDs (Wooting) | Gasket mount with a PC plate on a 60% layout 2.4GHz at 1000Hz, Bluetooth 5.1 and wired USB-C (Keychron's spec page) 645 g (Keychron's figure) and 305 mm wide, light enough to carry Keychron rates the 4000 mAh battery at up to 190 hours with the backlight off QMK with the Launcher web app, hot-swap sockets and screw-in stabilizers An owner reported a pleasant, not-loud typing sound with silent switches fitted (kyu08) |

| Research take , different | A refined competitive 60% that The Verge, PC Gamer and WIRED all describe as a clear step up from the first 60HE. Choose it for 8 kHz polling and the improved sound; pick a larger or wireless board if you need dedicated arrows or no cable. | A logical wireless 60% on Keychron's V Max platform. Independent coverage is thin, so lean on the V1 Max and V3 Max reviews as a guide, and buy from a recent batch with a good return window. |
