The only thing I notice in gaming keyboard marketing, that’s not generally in regular keyboard marketing, is polling rate. That’s basically it imo.

I have a few Keychrons as well, I really enjoy their new QMK stuff as well. I really want one of their Alice boards but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

I have two of the Feker Alice 80s (one for home and one for work) and they’re solid. Here’s one of mine with the Elvish keycap set from Drop:

Are those QMK/VIA compatible?

I don’t think so, but it does have a toggle for windows or Mac layout. There are a bunch of lighting settings in the keyboard itself.

The type of switch used would be differently considered and marketed for a gaming keyboard too. Doesn't really make a ton of difference if you can customise it though but generally speaking there are switches that lean more into gaming than general use.
