What will you mostly use it for?
The Q10 leads for programming, modding, and configurable creative controls, while the Flow Lite is the more travel-oriented choice. Office use depends on whether the priority is Alice ergonomics and ISO options or wireless convenience and a low-profile build. Gaming is close on the listed polling rate, with the Q10 offering more explicit remapping options. Both provide a knob-style control, but the Q10's is programmable and the Flow Lite's is described as a volume wheel.
Pick the Keychron Q10

- The Q10 supports QMK and VIA for key remapping and macros.
