What will you mostly use it for?
The K10 Pro suits office work, programming, and content creation when a full 100% layout, media keys, or programmable controls matter. It also has the stronger case for extensive keyboard customization, with QMK/VIA support and a barebone option. The G98 is a more targeted gaming and space-saving pick, combining Rapid Trigger with its compact full-size arrangement. For travel, its smaller listed width is a meaningful distinction, though both boards are substantial desktop layouts.
Pick the MCHOSE G98
- Rapid Trigger is listed as a feature of the MCHOSE G98.
