What will you mostly use it for?
The Q1 Ultra takes most categories on its higher polling rate, broader layout selection, and explicitly listed battery and configuration features. The P1 Pro's clearest advantage here is its lower listed weight, which gives it the edge for travel, though both are heavy aluminum keyboards. They share wireless connection options and several construction features, including a polycarbonate plate and hot-swap support. For buyers who do not need the Q1 Ultra's additional features, the P1 Pro is the simpler lower-priced option.
