Compare Weikav Stars75 vs D75 Differences Side by Side

This comparison is for buyers choosing between two aluminum 75% keyboards from Weikav. The decision is hard because both feature hot-swappable PCBs, tri-mode connectivity, and PBT keycaps, yet they target different priorities. The Stars75 leans heavily into endurance and customization with an 8000mAh battery and QMK/VIA support. The D75 is pitched at enthusiasts who value an easy-to-disassemble ball-catch structure for frequent modifications. Your choice depends on whether you want marathon wireless sessions and deep programming, or a tinker-friendly chassis that is easier to open and close.

Pros and Trade-offs

The Weikav Stars75 is the better choice for users who need long battery life, extensive key-level programming, and rapid-trigger gaming features. It addresses the core need of a high-end wireless daily driver. The Weikav D75 appeals to modders who value a quick-disassembly chassis and prefer to customize their plate and sound dampening. If you prioritize convenience and custom firmware, choose the Stars75. If you enjoy tinkering with case swaps and acoustic foams, the D75 is your pick.

Weikav Stars75

  • +8000mAh battery is one of the largest in its class, reducing the need for frequent recharging
  • +QMK and VIA support allow full key remapping, macro programming, and custom firmware
  • +Leaf-spring beryllium copper gasket mount provides a stable and cushioned typing feel
  • +Includes Rapid Trigger support, beneficial for competitive gaming responsiveness

  • Heavier at 1800g may be less portable than the 1600g D75
  • No FR4 plate option, only PC or stock plate – less modding flexibility out of the box
  • Switch options are limited to linear types (Coconut Latte or QingYun) with no clicky option pre-installed

Weikav D75

  • +Unique ball-catch structure allows tool-free disassembly for quick modding and switch changes
  • +FR4 plate is included, which is a popular material for adjusting flex and sound signature
  • +Multiple sound-dampening layers (Poron, IXPE, PET, EPDM) provide acoustic tuning out of the box
  • +Lighter at 1600g than the Stars75, making it slightly easier to transport

  • 4000mAh battery is only half the capacity of the Stars75, resulting in shorter wireless runtimes
  • Self-developed firmware lacks the community support and flexibility of QMK/VIA for custom programming
  • Clicky switch type is noisier in shared spaces and not suitable for quiet office environments

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

The Stars75 wins the majority of use cases thanks to its almost double battery capacity, QMK/VIA support, and higher performance scores. It is the stronger choice for gamers, office workers, programmers, travelers, and content creators who want fewer charging breaks and deep customization. The D75 takes the modding category due to its unique ball-catch chassis that is built for easy entry into case and plate swaps, plus its multi-layer dampening included out of the box. Neither keyboard has a screen but both are solidly built with aluminum cases.

GamingWeikav Stars75
  • 1000 Hz polling rate on both wired and 2.4 GHz for lower latency compared to the D75's unspecified polling rate in wireless mode
  • Rapid Trigger support is explicitly listed, helping competitive players react faster
  • Higher performance score (79.7) vs the D75 (59.6) indicates better latency and polling consistency
OfficeWeikav Stars75
  • 8000mAh battery lasts much longer than the D75's 4000mAh, reducing downtime in wired and wireless use
  • QMK and VIA support allow custom macro layers for productivity tasks like spreadsheet navigation and shortcuts
  • The linear switch option is quieter for shared office environments compared to the D75's clicky switches
ProgrammingWeikav Stars75
  • VIA and QMK firmware support enables full key remapping and complex macro programming per layer
  • Gasket mount with leaf-spring beryllium copper structure may provide a more cushioned feel for long coding sessions
  • Higher productivity score (71.7) vs the D75 (78.6 note: D75 scored higher in productivity, but programming favors customizability) – non-scores reason: the Stars75's QMK/VIA is more programmable than the D75's self-developed firmware
TravelWeikav Stars75
  • 8000mAh battery offers significantly more wireless runtime than the D75's 4000mAh, ideal for trips without frequent charging
