What will you mostly use it for?
The Q1 HE has the clearest edge for gaming and offers a distinct knob advantage for content-creation workflows. The Rainy75 Pro is the more travel-oriented choice based on its listed weight and larger battery, and its silent switch option may suit quieter office settings. Programming is a close match because both provide QMK and VIA, with different hardware extras. Modding favors the Q1 HE for its assembly options, though its magnetic switch compatibility is restrictive.
