What will you mostly use it for?
The V5 Max takes most categories on the strength of its numpad, knob support, lighter weight, and wider switch and layout choices. The Rainy75 Pro is a reasonable travel alternative if a 75% layout matters more than carrying weight, and its larger battery may also appeal for wireless use. Both have 1000 Hz polling, multiple connection modes, and hot-swap support, so gaming and customization decisions depend more on layout and switch preferences than on those shared features.
Pick the Keychron V5 Max
- Both keyboards list a 1000 Hz polling rate and 2.4 GHz connectivity.
- The V5 Max offers linear, tactile, and clicky switch options, while the Rainy75 Pro lists linear and silent options.
