What will you mostly use it for?
The RT85 has the clearest edge for gaming, travel, programming, and screen-focused desk setups, based on its listed polling rate, larger battery, and extra controls. Office use is close, since both list silent switches and sound dampening, with the RT85 offering a described silent tactile option and the TK75 V2 offering knob support. Modding is also a close call: both are hot-swappable, but their plate and stabilizer details differ. The TK75 V2's aluminum plate is a useful deciding feature if that material is a priority.
