Verdict
Take the SteelSeries Apex 3 unless you need repairability.
The Keychron K6 scores highest at 7.3, but it costs 40,00 € more than the SteelSeries Apex 3, which scores 6.4. That premium buys you repairability — 3.8 points of it. Worth it if mac and Windows on one board describes you; otherwise it is money you keep. Watch out for membrane feel that gets vague as it wears on the SteelSeries Apex 3.
