What will you mostly use it for?
The G84 HE is the more flexible pick for desk use across devices and for travel, thanks to its wireless modes and listed battery. Gaming is a close match because both have Hall-effect switches, Rapid Trigger and 8000 Hz polling, though the G84 HE adds wireless play and the Mix 87 advertises finer actuation precision in some editions. The Mix 87 stands out for desk controls and lighting customization, including its screen and volume knob. For modding, both offer magnetic-switch hot-swap, with no evidence that either accepts standard MX switches.
It's a tie
- Both list Hall-effect magnetic switches, Rapid Trigger, 8000 Hz polling and gasket mounting.

- The G84 HE supports 2.4 GHz wireless gaming; the Mix 87 is wired only.
