What will you mostly use it for?
The Q1 Pro has the clearer edge for gaming, office work, programming, and content creation, primarily through its stated polling rate, layout options, QMK support, and knob. Modding is closer: both offer hot-swap support, and the Wave 75 adds quick-release disassembly and specified foam layers. For travel, both share a 75% layout and multiple connection modes, but the available details do not support a confident portability winner.
Pick the Keychron Q1 Pro
- The Q1 Pro lists a 1000 Hz polling rate, while the Wave 75 has no polling rate specified.
