Choose the Keychron V6 if QMK/VIA customization, switch choice, or an ISO layout is central to your setup.

Both are full-size and hot-swappable, so those features alone do not settle the choice.

What will you mostly use it for?
The V6 is the more compelling fit for programming, modding, and buyers who need layout choices beyond ANSI. The GK104Pro stands out for travel between devices and workflows that benefit from its screen and calculator, though it remains a full-size, relatively heavy board. Gaming is a close match based on the listed polling rates and shared rollover and hot-swap features. Office use depends on whether customization and layout flexibility matter more than wireless connections and calculator access.
It's a tie
- Both list an 8000 Hz polling rate, though the GK104Pro vendor specifies that this applies in wired mode.
- The V6 is wired only, while the GK104Pro supports wired, 2.4 GHz, and Bluetooth connections.
- Both include N-key rollover and hot-swappable switches.
