Our Verdict

GLORIOUS GMMK 2

Keychron Q6

The GLORIOUS GMMK 2 and the Keychron Q6 are both hot-swappable, customizable keyboards designed for different primary uses. The GLORIOUS is more gaming-focused and has significantly better latency. On the other hand, the Keychron is more oriented towards office and productivity tasks. It has a better overall build quality and includes a small toolkit to help you customize your keyboard.
