Our Verdict

Keychron B1/B6 Pro

Keychron B33/B36

The Keychron B1/B6 Pro and the Keychron B33/B36 keyboards are low-profile wireless offerings with similar overall performance. The B33 and B36 switches deliver deeper keystrokes, while the B1 and B6 Pro keyboards have very low-profile switches. Both models offer very similar feature sets and build qualities. However, the B33 and B36 deliver significantly better latency performance when used wired, which can be practical for occasional gaming sessions. Ultimately, the model you prefer will mainly depend on the type of switches you would like.
