What will you mostly use it for?
The V1 Max has the clearest edge for office work, programming, modding, and content creation, mainly through its knob, multimedia keys, wider layout selection, and barebones option. Travel favors the lighter Keychron, although the Rainy75 Pro counters with a larger battery. Gaming is a close match on the listed polling rate, connectivity, hot-swap support, and mount style. Buyers who prioritize the metal build over lower weight may still prefer the Rainy75 Pro.
