What will you mostly use it for?
The K10 Max is the more feature-led choice for gaming and customization, while its ISO variants also make it the more flexible option for programming layouts. The AK35I V4 takes the office and content-creation picks for its screen and physical media controls. For travel, the Ajazz has the larger battery, though both remain full-size keyboards. The decision is between the Ajazz's built-in controls and battery capacity and the Keychron's layout and configuration options.

- It has N-key rollover in wired and wireless modes.
- The AK35I V4 has a gasket mount and an FR4 plate, but its listing does not give a polling rate.
