Lemokey - P1 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Gaming Keyboard

I am using white version after 3 months of heavy using I noticed wear and I am kinda disappointed by this. I clean it daily and see the wear on any key besides F keys.

Yeah it is disappointing but besides that it great keyboard. Do not go with logitech g915 X. I returned 3 of those because of key chatter.

Lemokey P1 HE is one of THE BEST keyboard I have in my collection...... Incredible quality & feel (typing, gaming..), I did a small YT review on my channel as well: [https://youtu.be/EyRmzxVDVbM](https://youtu.be/EyRmzxVDVbM)

I have a P2 HE and P1 HE in for review, and the P2 HE has blown me away compared to the L1 HE. I don't know what Keychron has done so differently, apart from the quick release top case...but it's night and day difference.

Honestly, the stock nebula switches in the Lemokey boards aren't bad. They're at least as stable as the Gateron Jade Pros, and they're not as loud as those, but they have the full 4 mm travel. The only issue I have with them are that they have a little bit of that clattery sound on the return stroke, but it's liveable.

TMR is supposed to be the best from a technical standpoint, but I don't think anyone can actually notice a difference in accuracy... As for a combination of good features, fast response times, and good build quality, look at NuPhy, Iqunix, and Keychron/Lemokey (there's only one Lemokey keyboard with 8 kHz polling, but that's also marketing wank IMO). The only reason I hesitate to recommend a wooting to anyone is because they can't be used as "daily drivers" by a lot of people because of the lack of onboard macros.

Not really. The NuPhy keyboards will feel a little stiffer compared to the 80HE. Both will require mods to sound truly good. Just different mods. The Iqunix HE boards are pretty solid across the board aside from the software being a little less intuitive and polished. Keychron and Lemokey's wireless HE boards are all limited to 1 kHz polling, but you'll NEVER notice 1 kHz vs 8 kHz in a keyboard. There's one Lemokey board that's 8 kHz. I think the L5 HE (?) but that's also only wired lol. The biggest drawback with Keychron/Lemokey HE boards is that they're only compatible with Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic switches (and unofficially, the switches that the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE uses). So that's a downside if you wanted to try other switches. But those Gateron switches are decent. The rest (stuff like build quality, keycaps, sound, and feel) all match or surpass Wooting.

I've had a good experience with my K4 HE, and that's been great. I'd much rather use a Q HE series or a Lemokey L or P HE keyboard, because the aluminium chassis sounds and feels a decent bit better, but the K HE series is great nonetheless. The K10 HE is a solid affordable option for full-size HE.

[Lemokey P1 HE](https://preview.redd.it/whmnmnqd64je1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc9d13021db31910521de2a2a86bb1adbe0f4a85) *The Lemokey P1 HE is the latest addition to the crowded mechanical keyboard market, entering as a 75% layout wireless gaming keyboard from Lemokey, the gaming-focused sub-brand of the renowned Keychron. Known for their high-quality, customizable mechanical keyboards, Keychron has built a strong reputation among enthusiasts and casual users alike. Now, with the Lemokey P1 HE, the brand aims to make a mark in the competitive gaming space, introducing Hall Effect magnetic switches and a suite of premium features. But does it live up to the lofty expectations set by its parent company, and can it challenge established players like Wooting or Nuphy?* # Spec and Features [Specs](https://preview.redd.it/ai71vooq64je1.jpg?width=824&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e023a9514e86536039117e1c12b31f5bc4f413e) *Bottom line? Full aluminum body, gasket mount, fixed dead zone, tri-mode connectivity, powerful ARM chip, 1000Hz polling rate both wired and wireless, north-facing RGB, Gateron dual-rail switches.* # In the Box [What's in the box...](https://preview.redd.it/k1vscr9u64je1.jpg?width=845&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4342351260f6bab9b15ca580c66ee9d1fc04db17) [... and this is how it looks like.](https://preview.redd.it/1br2uk8x64je1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe5585bea1b10f6705386a80f061288e9de789bf) *Bottom line? I like that Lemokey included screwdrivers and the adapter for the dongle. The rest is standard, I’d like to see more spare keycaps or a wrist rest (but that’s sold separately).* # Design and Build Quality Lemokey P1 HE’s build quality is nothing short of outstanding. The thick aluminum case immediately stands out, not just for its sheer durability but also for its unique, slightly coarse, unpolished texture — clearly an intentional design choice. This subtle roughness gives the impression of handling a truly powerful piece of metal, reinforcing the feeling of quality and craftsmanship. The full-metal body isn’t just about aesthetics; it adds serious robustness while maintaining a sleek, premium look. The keyboard remains fixed at a 5.5-degree typing angle, which may not be ideal for everyone since there are no adjustable feet — so if you prefer a different incline, a wrist rest might be a good idea for added comfort. Adding to the premium feel, there’s a stunning mirror-polished strip on the back, boasting a smooth, scratch-free, highly reflective finish that subtly enhances the board’s overall aesthetic. The attention to detail continues with a well-crafted volume knob, a tri-mode switch for seamless connectivity (located next to the USB-C port), and a flexible, braided USB-C to A cable. [Side view](https://preview.redd.it/hout2pr874je1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eea32b68bfd60dbe3c73a49b5249ba377f39be71) Inside, Lemokey has packed in everything you’d expect from a high-end keyboard: a gasket-mount design, upgraded plate-mounted stabilizers, silicone pads under the spacebar, and advanced acoustic foams for improved sound dampening. At this point, I’m honestly wondering if Lemokey has missed anything — because everything checks out. *Bottom line? Magnetic keyboards top.* # Keycaps [Double-shot PBT keycaps are good, but they can also develop a shine](https://preview.redd.it/bkxanhng74je1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d79836fceb5faace312dae930099c25aec415b3d) The P1 HE offers two keycap options (shine and no-shine through), allowing users to choose based on their preferences and needs. Both sets are high-quality, double-shot PBT keycaps in a Cherry profile, designed to be durable, oil-resistant, and resistant to wear over time — ensuring consistent performance throughout the keyboard’s lifespan. However, one downside is that they do develop some shine after a few weeks of use, something I’ve yet to see any brand fully resolve. Other than that, no issues — the legends are clearly visible, the keycaps are grippy *Bottom line? Pretty durable and high quality, but they can develop a shine even though looking and feeling very solid.* # Switches [Gateron Nebula dual-rail switch](https://preview.redd.it/6kw6hg0n74je1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03ece51e7a47a7a4c46943cd36ce68f4c59a3bef) The Gateron Nebula switches, featuring a dual-railed design and a 40gf initial force, strike a perfect balance between light and heavy switches to me. Factory-lubed to a commendable standard, they deliver a smooth, almost creamy and marbly feel — though, as expected from a magnetic keyboard, they retain a slight stiffness compared to top-tier mechanical switches. On the plus side, they remain relatively quiet, complementing the keycaps well. That said, there is one aspect that does bother me. These switches have open bottom and from my experience I’ve seen open-bottom switches leak some lube out after some time, leaving the switch scratchy and clacky, losing its all marbly charm (Boog75). Let’s hope it won’t happen with Lemokey P1 HE — I haven’t seen it here yet, God forbid. [Open bottom of the switch](https://preview.redd.it/xpqeku0q74je1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c30d492ea314e51dce29a5bfec1fe822680e150f) *Bottom line? Great switches with the ideal press force for me, I can’t complain here (assuming the lube won’t leak out due to its open bottom structure).* # Typing Experience and Sound Test The P1 HE delivers an outstanding typing experience, thanks to its well-engineered combination of sound-dampening and cushioning materials. With 3mm thick acoustic foam, 2.5mm thick EPDM foam, and PET film, it effectively minimizes vibrations caused by keystrokes, resulting in a deeper, more satisfying sound and feel. The gasket mount design further elevates the experience — gasket silicone beans are strategically placed on the PCB to reduce acoustic resonance, enhancing both flexibility and cushioning. This thoughtful mounting method ensures a consistently comfortable and refined typing feel, even during long gaming or work sessions. On top of that, the inclusion of multiple layers of foam, silicone pads, and gasket silicone beans almost makes the keyboard feel like it’s been pre-modded by an enthusiast. The end result? One of the best typing experiences I’ve had on any magnetic keyboard — only the Boog75 comes close. Perhaps my crude sound test won’t make you feel like me, [but let’s listen](https://x.com/KapitanKloze/status/1884968841198829659). The typing angle of 5.5 degree didn’t bother me at all while typing, however, this keyboard does not feature adjustable feet, so for some people a wrist rest could be useful. *Bottom line? Incredible typing experience for a magnetic keyboard, only Boog75 comes close.* # Software [My profile](https://preview.redd.it/2hj6jf9u74je1.jpg?width=1891&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=074cc8966b54b89e7c2225c184f6898138a55741) Lemokey followed suit of Keychron and based its [web-based software](https://launcher.lemokey.com/) on its older sister’s solution. The web app makes it easy to remap every key and the volume knob, allowing you to customize macros, shortcuts, RGB, and key combinations for greater flexibility. This unlocks a range of possibilities, streamlining complex actions to improve both gaming and workflow efficiency. The web software also has 256kb online memory and can store up to 3 profiles which can be changed via keyboard shortcuts. However, a drawback is that the software only functions in wired mode and is limited to Chrome, Opera, and Edge browsers and the firmware updates might be a bit complicated for an inexperienced user at first. But we will focus on what’s most important for the gamer, Hall Effect customization. Here’s what you can do: * adjust Actuation Point at 0.2 to 3.8mm * adjust Rapid Trigger with 0.1mm sensitivity (press and release) * adjust DKS (Direct Key Stroke) to use up to 4 actions per single key * adjust Long Press Switch: press single key once to trigger action continuously, press it again to deactivate it * use Snap Action (both Snap Click and Last Key Priority) which are basically Rappy Snappy and SOCD * use Analog Mode: This mode replaces traditional on/off inputs with variable signals, allowing for smoother, more dynamic control and greater precision in execution. With every keypress, the keyboard accurately measures the depth of your press, translating it into different speeds and intensities. This makes it particularly well-suited for games and sports simulations that demand fine-tuned movements and precise adjustments. This mode enables also two curve profiles (linear and smooth). Software also allows you to calibrate our switches and is translated into many languages, including Polish, which came to me as a big surprise. It also misses some feature I’d like Lemokey to look into: * no Mod Tap * no Tachyon/Turbo mode (it could boost up latency a bit) * no dead zone configuration In my period of testing, that one time the “c” and “v” keys stopped working, resetting the keyboard and reloading my profile helped though. *Bottom line? It’s not perfect and misses a few features but when it does something, it does it very well. Also, it features Analog Mode, something only Wooting has delivered so far.* # Latency and Gaming Performance When it comes to latency, responsiveness, and overall gaming performance, the Lemokey P1 HE is genuinely impressive. It pushes the 1,000Hz polling rate to its absolute limits — even in wireless mode — averaging around 3ms per key press, which is essentially on par with the Wooting 60HE. Nothing ever holds you back while gaming; multi-key inputs register flawlessly, and the keyboard is exceptionally obedient to your fingertips, reacting instantly without any hiccups. Throughout my testing, I never experienced a single instance of key sticking or dropped inputs, which speaks volumes about Lemokey’s well-optimized software. The Gateron dual-railed switches also deserve credit here — thanks to their excellent stability and minimal stem wobble, the typing and gaming feel remains incredibly solid and precise. If I had to nitpick, the keyboard’s fixed 5.5-degree incline could be a slight issue for aggressive typists like me who tend to bottom out their keys with force. Over extended sessions, this might lead to some fatigue, especially since there are no adjustable feet. If you’re in the same boat, a wrist rest might be a worthwhile addition. As for the minor delay compared to the absolute fastest gaming keyboards on the market, I never once noticed it in actual gameplay — this thing is fast. Either for typing, productivity, everyday tasks or gaming — you won’t be disappointed. Actually, you will be impressed by this keyboard. *Bottom line? Very fast and responsive, only slightly slower than industry’s top sprinters.* # Closing Thoughts [On my desk](https://preview.redd.it/gbb8j7hy74je1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf680c9c8d90c2ddd9d248bad5bf8a70d8b6bcd2) Lemokey’s first foray into the magnetic gaming keyboard market with the P1 HE is nothing short of impressive. Right out of the box, its behemoth-like build quality struck me — an incredibly sturdy aluminum chassis that still manages to maintain a gasket-mounted design, delivering a shockingly refined typing experience. It’s easily among the best in the magnetic switch category, combining smooth keystrokes with a satisfyingly quiet sound profile. The RGB implementation is top-tier, and the latency and responsiveness are on par with the Wooting 60HE, making it a serious contender in the high-performance gaming space. Battery life management is also outstanding, further cementing its status as one of the most well-rounded keyboards of early 2025 — not just for gaming but for all-around use. While it may be ever so slightly slower than the absolute fastest gaming keyboards, the difference is negligible for most users. You may also wanna remember that they’ve implemented the analog mode — something racing enthusiasts have been waiting for. Hopefully, they won’t rest on their laurels and improve the software or provide even a faster keyboard next time. And that the lube won’t come out through the open bottom of the switch, making it dry and scratchy after some time — that’s what happened to my Boog75. *Bottom line? Given that Lemokey is a gaming sub-brand of Keychron, maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised — but honestly, I still am. I totally recommend this keyboard, folks.* # Bullet Points * most premium Hall Effect keyboard alongside Boog75 * very good north-facing RGB with lots of options for customization * very stable dual-rail switches, with open bottom though * not compatible with any other than dual-rail switches from Gateron (Nebula, Aurora, Dawn) * great typing experience and sound due to rich foams and gasket mount * second brand (besides Wooting) to implement analog mode in keyboards * fixed dead zone at 0.2 mm * great battery management in wireless mode (around 50hrs with full RGB on, 100hrs without RGB) * latency and responsiveness matching those of Wooting 60HE in wired mode, only slightly slower in wireless * good software, nor perfect though — still needs some work and improvements but most of important stuff is there and working * the switches have open bottoms which might lead to some lube leak after some time (I haven’t noticed anything like that after a month though) * overall, one of the best all-round gaming keyboards in early 2025 This keyboard will stay in my rotation.

I've recently picked up the Lemokey P1 HE. Fantastic keyboard!

Had loads. Lemokey P1 HE is the best feeling HE board I've used, by far. Typing feel, performance, software, etc is all excellent. The best overall package in a HE keyboard I've ever used.

I've literally just swapped out my 80HE for a Lemokey P1 HE and couldn't be happier. On paper the 80HE has better raw performance , but there's zero difference to me. I wanted one keyboard to do everything, and I hated typing on the Wooting. Not to mention the build quality is just terrible. I've also used a Razor Huntsman V3 Pro and hated the typing on that too. Steelseries Apex was pretty good, but again, just wasn't it and I hated the looks. The P1 has so far been the best all round keyboard I've ever used. Some might be better in certain areas, but they're nowhere near as well rounded. It's also the best typing feel on a HE keyboard I've ever used, and beats out 98% of mechanicals I've had.

If your going for hall effect then the wooting HE is the best in raw performance along with Razers optical in the huntsman. For actually using the wooting would be better. Nuphy field 75 HE, Halo 65HE, Wooting 80& 65, keychron Q1 he, k4 he, or Lemokey P1 HE. I like the Lemokey since it's keychron with the same webapp, it's full metal, it costs ~$160 which makes it middle of the price pack but not as expensive as a metal wooting. The L5 is similar with slightly better polling rate. The Nuphy Field 75 is also good, but it's a bit gamery and plastic.

I got myself the lemokey p1 he with a german layout for around 150 - 160 dollars and its so amazing. Im loving it and can recommend it

Lemokey (subbrand of keychorn) has a lot of neat options. I presonally have the Lemokey P1 and it is amazing. Great web-based software with solid metal fram, hotswap, nice keycaps with nice sound and an allmyighty knob to top it of. Only around 135$ but prices vary from different models. But overall solid price to performance imo.

there is no good board that fits all these requirements. Lemokey has a pretty bad switch standard, flipped polarity ks37, as well as mediocre performance and lacking features like autocal on its HE implementation. Wireless hall effect is not something that gets made by good brands because the use cases don't really line up. Volume knob is also something only on very few good boards (drunkdeer a75 ultra/ master) Plus actual PBT keycaps can't be shinethrough so you'd have to do a mixed material set which are usually iffy. My recommendation would be to drop the wireless requirement and get a chilkey slice75 or irok mg75max

ks37 is the switch family, and its a pretty mid one already due to not many options. Flipping the sensor and switch polarity further reduces options because normal switches wont work, so youre locked to their proprietary (and not great) switches

They do, and their Lemokey (their gaming brand) P1 is just straight up the best value keyboard they have, it's basically a Q1 Max for $100 less. Literally the only difference is they don't have a mac/windows switch. (and they have tasteful RGB, and a nice weight at the bottom which is all the rage these days for some reason)
