Both are wired-capable 60% keyboards with hot-swap sockets and QMK/VIA support, so those shared features do not decide the comparison.

What will you mostly use it for?
The Q4 Pro is the clearer fit for buyers who need wireless use or want the lighter of these two keyboards. The wired Q4 has the edge when regional layout choice, knob support, or multimedia keys matter. Programming is a close call because both offer QMK/VIA and hot-swappable switches, with connectivity and layout preferences deciding between them. For gaming, both list a 1000 Hz polling rate, so the meaningful distinction here is the Q4 Pro's wireless option.
Pick the Keychron Q4 Pro
- The Q4 Pro supports Bluetooth and wireless use as well as wired USB-C, while the Q4 is wired only.
- Both list a 1000 Hz polling rate, so the provided specs do not establish a wired polling-rate advantage for either.
