What will you mostly use it for?
The V6 leads for gaming, office use, programming, modding, and content creation based on its listed polling rate, layout choices, and customization features. The DM108 is the travel-oriented choice here because it supports wireless connections while the V6 is wired only. Both suit buyers who want a full-size hot-swappable board, but they differ in whether wireless convenience or configuration options take priority.
Pick the Keychron V6
- The V6 lists a 1000 Hz polling rate and QMK support.
- The DM108 can connect over Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, or wired, but no polling rate is listed.
