What will you mostly use it for?
The B6 Pro is the more practical pick for gaming, office work, programming, and shortcut-heavy content tasks, mainly because it combines a full-size layout with a prebuilt setup and configurable keys. The Choc V is the more travel-oriented choice for buyers who want a compact, flat board and are willing to assemble it. For modding, the Choc V is specifically sold as a kit, while the B6 Pro offers software-based key configuration. Neither board offers hot-swappable switches, and both require soldering to swap switches.
Pick the Keychron B6 Pro
- The B6 Pro lists a 1000 Hz polling rate.
- Its full-size layout includes more keys than the Choc V's 36-key layout.
