Keychron V6 vs Redragon TRUNDLE K668Customization vs Gasket Mount

It depends on your preference. The Keychron V6 offers a choice of switch types (linear, tactile, clicky) and uses standard OSA profile keycaps on a steel plate with tray mount. The Redragon K668 provides a pre-configured linear switch on a gasket mount with round keycaps, which the vendor describes as offering a cushioned, creamy feel. The V6 provides more choice, while the K668 offers a specific, softer experience.

No, not to the same extent. The Keychron V6 supports QMK and VIA, which allow for deep, open-source key remapping and macro creation. The Redragon K668 listing mentions software support for creating macros and effects, but it does not specify the same level of open-source, layer-based customization as QMK/VIA.

The Redragon K668 explicitly includes a keycap and switch puller in the package, according to its vendor page. The Keychron V6 vendor description does not list included accessories, so a puller may not be included and would need to be purchased separately.

The Keychron V6 is significantly more customizable. It supports QMK/VIA firmware, comes in a barebones kit, uses screw-in PCB stabilizers, and accepts both 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches. The Redragon K668 is hot-swappable and has a gasket mount, but lacks the same firmware and barebones kit options.

Neither keyboard features shine-through keycaps. The Keychron V6 uses double-shot PBT keycaps that are not shine-through, with south-facing RGB LEDs to illuminate the board from below. The Redragon K668 uses mixed-color PBT round keycaps, and its product listing does not describe them as shine-through.

Yes. The Keychron V6 listing includes Mac/Win support and states it comes with an additional set of keycaps for macOS. It also has a system toggle switch to easily change between macOS and Windows key mappings.

The Keychron V6 uses a tray mount, where the plate is screwed directly into the case bottom, typically resulting in a firmer, more direct typing feel. The Redragon K668 uses a gasket mount, where the plate is suspended by rubber or silicone gaskets, which can absorb vibrations and create a softer, more cushioned typing experience.

The Redragon K668 vendor description states it has built-in noise-dampening foam to reduce hollow echoes. The Keychron V6 listing includes 'sound dampening' as a feature but does not specify pre-installed foam. Therefore, the K668 may have an advantage for a quieter stock experience.

Neither the product specifications nor the vendor descriptions for the Keychron V6 or Redragon K668 mention a USB passthrough port. Both connect via a single USB Type-C cable for power and data.

Yes. The Keychron V6 product listing includes 'Knob Support' as a feature and is sold in both 'Fully Assembled Knob' and 'Barebone Knob' variants, confirming you can purchase a version with a rotary encoder pre-installed.

The Redragon K668 comes with its custom Dragon Chant linear switches, pre-lubed according to the vendor. It only offers this linear switch type, and the package includes four spare switches of the same type.
