Choose the Keychron Q1 if you want wired operation with a stated 1000 Hz polling rate, a programmable knob, and more listed plate and layout options. Choose the WOBKEY Rainy75 if Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz connectivity and its 3500mAh battery matter more than the Q1's wired focus and knob. Both support hot-swapping and QMK/VIA, so either can accommodate key remapping and switch changes.

What will you mostly use it for?
The Q1 has the clearer edge for wired gaming, programming controls, deeper component customization, and creative workflows that benefit from a knob. The Rainy75 stands out for desk setups where wireless connection options matter. It is the more travel-flexible choice in connectivity, but its 1800g weight is close to the Q1's. Both offer hot-swap support and QMK/VIA, so basic remapping and switch changes are available on either.
Pick the Keychron Q1
