Our Verdict

Keychron K6

ROCCAT Magma

The Keychron K6 is a 65% compact mechanical board, while the ROCCAT Magma is a full-size membrane board. If you prefer a wireless option, the Keychron is a better option, and it can pair with up to three devices at once. Also, it's compatible with many operating systems, including Android and iOS. It's available with Gateron Brown, Red, and Blue switches. On the other hand, if you prefer a wired non-mechanical board, the ROCCAT uses rubber dome switches. You can set macros to any key on the left side of the board, and you can set an Easy-Shift[ button to give you a second layer of controls.
