What will you mostly use it for?
The F75 is the more fitting choice when wireless use, a battery or listed silent switches take priority. The V1 leads for programming and modding, with QMK/VIA support and a barebones option, and has more listed polling-rate choices. For content creation, its programmable knob has explicitly described workflow uses. Neither board is markedly lighter by the listed weights, but only the F75 lists wireless connectivity.
Pick the Keychron V1
- The V1 lists polling rates of 1000 Hz and 8000 Hz; the F75 lists 1000 Hz.
- The F75 offers Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless, which may suit gaming setups where a cable-free connection matters.

“Works exactly as intended and still works as new. The 2.4 GHz Receiver doesn't communicate correctly and isn't reliable but on BT and Cable it works perfectly”
