What will you mostly use it for?
The K10 Max takes the edge for programming, modding, and content creation because its QMK/VIA support and listed multimedia keys suit customized workflows. The TH108 is the office-oriented pick for buyers prioritizing silent linear switches and its larger listed battery. For travel, the TH108 is lighter and also has the larger battery, though both remain full-size keyboards. Gaming is a close choice on the listed polling rate, with the K10 Max favored here for its customization options and steel plate.
Pick the Keychron K10 Max
- Both list 1000 Hz polling, so that spec does not distinguish them.
- The K10 Max lists a steel plate and screw-in stabilizers.
- The K10 Max supports QMK and VIA for key customization.

“My first mechanical keyboard. A lot of people like the clack of some keyboards. I prefer the silent switches. This keyboard is great and works very well.”
“Its very cool, I just wish I had picked the silent switch version instead. :/”

“Bought with super banana switches (awesome if you like panda switches!). The only complaint I have is having to plug it in to change any settings. Why?”
“Pretty much right out of the box it started registering double letters when typing. To the point where I’m fixing every other word I type. Very disappointed”
