Keychron K10 HE vs P6 Ultra

The Keychron P6 Ultra is better for competitive gaming due to its 8000 Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4 GHz modes, offering lower potential input lag than the K10 HE's 1000 Hz. However, the K10 HE's Rapid Trigger and Snap Click features can also provide a competitive edge for specific games like Valorant.
