Facts and prices checked
Q1 Pro for typing, G Pro X TKL for wireless gaming
We rank the Keychron Q1 Pro ahead of the Logitech G Pro X TKL LIGHTSPEED. The Q1 Pro has a CNC aluminum, gasket-mounted case, hot-swappable switches, QMK remapping, and a 4,000 mAh battery Keychron rates at up to 300 hours. Its weak spot is wireless gaming: it is Bluetooth only, and PCWorld saw lag over Bluetooth. The Logitech is the better pick for wireless play, with a LIGHTSPEED 2.4 GHz receiver, Bluetooth, and USB-C, but its switches are soldered and Logitech rates it at up to 50 hours. Note that Keychron now points buyers to the newer Q1 HE 8K and Q1 Ultra 8K, and the fully assembled Q1 Pro is sold out on its store.
