Lemokey - P1 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Gaming Keyboard

The top gaming keyboards right now for competitive shooters are the HE switch keyboards like the Wooting 80HE, NuPhy Field75 HE, Lemokey P1 HE, or similar. These keyboards have features that if enabled can actually get you banned from some games! But the most impactful (non-banned) feature that these share is the adjustable trigger point and rapid trigger. The short explanation is these keyboards can be adjusted so that try trigger with as little as 0.05mm of depression rather than the usual 1\~3mm the average keyboard has. Additionally, to release or retrigger the key you don't have to release it entirely and press again. Instead any upward movement over some user adjusted distance on the key is considered as release, and any downward movement of that also user adjusted distance will activate it. This means if you want to press a single button really fast, you can just kind of wiggle it in a half-depressed position and that'll work just as well as lifting your finger off entirely. The banned feature is what Wooting calls Rappy Snappy. Which lets you configure pairs of keys such that if one is press, the other is automatically released, even if you're still actually holding it down. The main use case for this is strafe keys, as in many games if you're holding both left and right strafe you'll actually stand entirely still, this ensures you're always moving. I believe that feature will get you banned in CS2 (and Valorant?) specifically. That said, some people don't like HE keyboards, and keyboards in general are very subjective for what people like. And while something like the features the HE keyboards have can give legitimate advantages between the very high end players, plenty of professional players still don't use it. ... For mice... the only real consistent feature that's valuable is low weight. Razer and Logitech have consistently been the two big names here for a long time, and then Glorious and Final Mouse started pushing the ultra light mice and kind of shook up the market. These days Glorious are kind of just okay, and Final Mouse have serious quality control issues even if you can get ahold of one. And there's been a massive influx of new players in the gaming mouse scene that have been putting out amazing mice for amazing prices. Something like an MCHOSE A7 Pro for $50, ATK Dragonfly A9 for $25, or Attack Shark X11 for <$20, matches a $150 Logitech G Pro X Ultralight 2 in terms of performance and often quality (for all but the AttackShark... but it's <$20). There's also mice from Pulsar and Lamzu which really are better than anything made by Logitech. Razer on the other hand does seem to be keeping up with the rest of the mouse market, but they're still priced like high end Razer products always have been... which is expensive. I will note that a lot of these mice, and the more expensive well known brands, will advertise 8k polling rates. It should be noted that the top players do not use 8k polling because while on paper it sounds like it should make things better, 1k\~2k polling rates are really the max that actually give any benefit. There's a CPU hit when using 4k or 8k that negate any of the on paper benefits it should give.

HE/TMR is a buzzy gamer feature that has resulted in a ton of boards that are meh coming to market and the amount of switch options you have is kinda limited, that's what you'd be getting with something like the thing you've linked. Mind you, it's gonna be a perfectly usable keyboard and you're probably gonna like it. Still way better than logitech . There are a bunch of EXTRA NICE ones like the Monsgeek M1 V5 or Womier SK75 or Lemokey P1 HE or Keychron Q HE series that have a metal chassis and had people spend time making them sound and feel and making sure they don't screw up the basics. I'd personally stretch the budget and get one of those but the MCHOSE is probably decent enough. The Womier isn't even that far off with current aliexpress discounts.

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.

Yeah I was gutted, myself. I have yet to lay fingers on a board that sounded or felt as great as the Lemokey P1 did. It was blissful to type on, just too bad my faith in the brand is so completely shaken after hearing so many horror stories and experiencing two first-hand. I'm confident in tinkering and swapping broken parts or diagnosing small things, but if a TMR chip is registering a magnetic field that isn't there... not a clue what to do except hope the company is responsive, which I've heard some stories they aren't. Amazon returns came through for me on both of those boards, but if that started happening 4 months in, RIP I guess.

I went from a gmmk pro 2 to a lemokey P1 he and zero regrets. Lemokey is just keychrons "gamer" branded keyboards. I wanted wireless aluminium shell and hall effect and think I made 130 pounds GBP for all that from keychron. Crazy price for the quality.

I have both. I had the same reaction to the GMMK 3 Pro. Its the Fox HE switches, they are horrible and scratchy. I had some Gateron Dawn dual-rail HEs, which were much better. Then I tried some Glorious Lynx HEs (both silent and normal), they were better than the Gaterons - both on the GMMK 3 AND on the Lemokey P1 HE. The Lynx Silents are smooth as silk. I switched my LemoKey P1 HE AND my GMMK 3 Pro to Glorious Lynx HE (Silent)... its a personal taste thing. Anyway the headline is - It's the Glorious Fox HEs - they SUCK! Also, the shine through PBTs that came with the GMMK 3 are also not great. The ones that came with the LemoKey P1 HE are much better quality. Not a huge issue for me because I always use GMK sets anyway.

Mice are very subjective because what feels good in your hand is different than for other people. Whatever you do though, go wireless, I don’t understand anybody who goes for a wired mouse nowadays considering how fast and affordable a solid wireless mouse is. For keyboards, this is an insanely deep rabbit hole, but if you want amazing feel and sound, the lemokey p1 is incredible. It also has 1000hz polling wireless and can be plugged in. Very good price for the quality too.

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)

From all of those keyboards lemokey is only some what decent. If we are talking in HE boards, but remember hall effect have high power draw so do not expect long keyboard battery life

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.
