What will you mostly use it for?
The V6 Max takes the lead in each use case because its wireless connectivity, hot-swap sockets, and QMK/VIA support give it more flexibility. The MG108 still offers a full-size wired layout, RGB, and a steel plate, along with three adjustable stand heights in its vendor description. Neither board is particularly compact, and the V6 Max’s wireless feature set does not change that both are over 1 kg. Buyers who want a straightforward wired ANSI keyboard may still prefer the MG108’s simpler feature set.

- The V6 Max supports 2.4 GHz wireless and wired connectivity, with a listed 1000 Hz polling rate.
