What will you mostly use it for?
The V6 Max leads for gaming, programming, and modding, with its stated polling rate, QMK/VIA support, and hot-swap details. It is also the more layout-flexible office option, though the Ajazz screen offers a useful on-keyboard status display. The AK35i V3 is the travel pick based on its larger battery, not its size or weight. For screen-based customization and a dedicated volume knob, the Ajazz is the more fitting content-creation choice.
Pick the Keychron V6 Max
- The V6 Max lists a 1000 Hz polling rate for 2.4 GHz and wired modes.
- It supports N-key rollover in both wireless and wired modes.
- The AK35i V3’s listed connectivity includes 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and wired, but no polling-rate figure.
