What will you mostly use it for?
The V6 Max has the edge for programming, modding, and workflows that benefit from its knob and remappable controls. The TH108 is the clearer office pick if silent linear switches and its larger listed battery matter most. Gaming is close on the shared polling-rate and rollover specs, with the V6 Max offering more switch choices. Neither is a natural travel choice given their full-size layouts and weights.
Pick the Keychron V6 Max
- Both list 1000 Hz polling and N-key rollover, with wired and 2.4 GHz connections.
- The V6 Max supports Gateron Jupiter Red, Brown, and Banana switches, as well as barebone configurations.
- The TH108's silent linear switches may suit players who prefer quieter keystrokes.

“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.”

“Best keyboard ever purchased. its quiet, great lighting, customizable and comdortable. Inhighly recommended!!!”
“After a couple months of using this keyboard it began doubling the space bar input. I took it apart, cleaned it, there's something wrong with the internals. The keys are nice and it works otherwise. But it has an intrinsic problem. Would not recommend.”
