Pick the Carbon60 if a 500g carbon fiber board and QMK/VIA remapping matter more than a fuller layout, and account for its low-profile-only keycap and switch fit. Choose the G84 Pro if you want 75% coverage, a screen, a knob, and a larger battery. For daily use, the key decision is compactness and firmware flexibility versus more on-board controls.

What will you mostly use it for?
The Carbon60 has the edge for travel and remapping-focused customization, particularly for buyers who value low weight and QMK/VIA. The G84 Pro is a stronger fit for office and content-creation setups that benefit from a larger layout, a display, and a knob. Gaming leans toward the G84 Pro based on its stated latency figures and fuller layout, though both specify 1000 Hz polling on wired and 2.4 GHz. Programming depends on whether compactness and QMK/VIA or more directly available keys matter more.
Pick the Epomaker G84 Pro
- Both list 1000 Hz polling over wired and 2.4 GHz, while the G84 Pro vendor description specifies 2 ms wired and 5 ms 2.4 GHz latency.
- The G84 Pro has an 84-key 75% layout, compared with the Carbon60's 60% layout without dedicated arrow keys.
- The G84 Pro supports linear, clicky, and silent switches in its metadata, while the Carbon60 lists tactile and linear.
