What will you mostly use it for?
The M75’s lower weight and larger battery make it the more compelling pick when carrying the keyboard or prioritizing battery capacity. The M1W has the edge for layout flexibility, office customization, programming, and hands-on modding. Gaming is a close call: the M1W lists N-key rollover, while AULA advertises a 3ms response time for the M75. For content creation, the M1W’s knob support is a distinct listed feature.
It's a tie
- Both keyboards offer Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired connectivity.
- The M1W lists N-key rollover, while the M75 vendor description claims 3ms response time.
