What will you mostly use it for?
The Keychron K6 Pro is the stronger choice for gaming, travel, and modding due to its lower weight, compact size, and superior programmability. The Skyloong GK75 wins for office use and content creation, thanks to its knob and more accessible 75% layout. For programming, it's a tie, as the K6 Pro's software battles the GK75's more functional physical layout.
Pick the Keychron K6 Pro
- The K6 Pro has a specified 1000 Hz polling rate for potentially lower latency.
- Its 65% layout frees up more desk space for mouse movement.
- South-facing RGB lighting prevents interference with Cherry-profile keycaps.

Keychron K6 Pro vs Skyloong GK75: your questions
The Keychron K6 Pro has superior software customization. It supports the open-source QMK firmware and the VIA configurator, allowing for deep key remapping, macro creation, and layer programming. The Skyloong GK75's software capabilities are not detailed in the provided specifications.
You can use Cherry MX switches on the Keychron K6 Pro, as its hot-swap sockets support both 3-pin and 5-pin MX style switches. The Skyloong GK75's hot-swap sockets, according to its vendor page, support Skyloong optical switches and Gateron KS-15 switches, which are not standard mechanical MX switches.
The Keychron K6 Pro is more portable. It is a 65% keyboard, making it smaller than the 75% GK75, and it weighs 890g compared to the GK75's 1200g. Both have wireless connectivity and a 4000mAh battery for use away from a desk.
Yes, the Skyloong GK75 includes a knob. The vendor description lists it as a customizable knob control, which is typically used for media volume or scrolling. The Keychron K6 Pro does not have a knob.
The Keychron K6 Pro uses a tray mount, where the PCB is screwed directly into the case. The Skyloong GK75 uses a gasket mount, where the plate holding the switches is suspended on soft silicone gaskets. Gasket mounts are often associated with a softer, more consistent typing feel and sound.
Both keyboards list Mac support as a feature. The Keychron K6 Pro vendor description explicitly states it is fully compatible with Mac and includes keycaps for both Windows and macOS. The Skyloong GK75 also lists Mac/Win support in its metadata.
Yes, both keyboards have RGB backlighting. However, the K6 Pro uses south-facing LEDs, which prevent interference with Cherry-profile keycaps. The GK75 uses north-facing RGB LEDs, which can sometimes cause interference with the same keycap profiles.
The Skyloong GK75's stabilizers are listed as pre-lubed. The Keychron K6 Pro uses screw-in PCB stabilizers, but the vendor description does not specify if they are pre-lubed; it does state that its K Pro switches (excluding clicky) are pre-lubed.
The Keychron K6 Pro comes with OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps. The Skyloong GK75 comes with OEM profile PBT keycaps. Both profiles are common, with OSA being a spherical-angle variant of OEM.
The Keychron K6 Pro offers significantly more layout options. Its metadata supports ANSI, JIS, and multiple ISO layouts (UK, German, Nordic, Swiss, French, Spanish). The Skyloong GK75 supports ANSI and ISO layouts but does not list the specific regional variants.
Yes, both keyboards are available as DIY kits or barebones versions according to their listed extra features. The Keychron K6 Pro vendor page explicitly offers a Barebone (Hot-Swappable) version for purchase.
