What will you mostly use it for?
The G84 HE takes the gaming comparison with its magnetic-switch features and higher listed polling rate, and its lower weight makes it the more travel-friendly option by that measure. The 5075B Plus is the more adaptable choice for office and programming setups that need ISO layouts or standard-switch swaps. It also has the edge for modding and dial-oriented creative workflows, based on its 5-pin sockets, included foam layers, and knob support. Both provide several connection modes and gasket-mounted builds.
