What will you mostly use it for?
The Wooting takes the gaming edge if its higher listed polling rate is the priority, while the Keychron adds the option of 2.4 GHz wireless gaming. For office work, programming and content creation, the Keychron's knob, macro column, QMK and VIA support, and multiple connection modes make it more flexible. It is also the more travel-oriented choice on connection options, though its listed weight is substantial. Modding is split: the Keychron offers QMK and VIA, while the Wooting's vendor listing names several compatible magnetic switch families.
