What will you mostly use it for?
The Q6 takes the lead where its specified polling rate, ISO choices and programmable knob are useful. The Max102 is the more practical pick when wireless operation and a battery matter more than wired-only use. For programming, both offer QMK, VIA and hot-swap support, so neither has a clear advantage from those shared features alone. Modders have more specifically documented assembly and stabilizer options on the Q6.
Pick the Keychron Q6
- The Q6 is wired and lists a 1000 Hz polling rate.
- The Max102 offers wired, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz modes, but its listing does not specify a polling rate.
