Our Verdict

Keychron K2 HE [K4 HE, K8 HE, etc.]

Lemokey P1 HE

The Keychron K2 HE and Lemokey P1 HE are both wireless Hall effect keyboards with virtually the same raw gaming performance. While they're both compact 75% models, the Keychron has a slightly more compact key layout, while the Lemokey has a more traditional layout and a control knob. The Lemokey also boasts a more premium build, featuring a solid aluminum case, greater key stability, and better-tuned stabilizers. Additionally, its gasket mount design provides a softer, more refined typing feel compared to the stiffer, tray-mounted structure of the Keychron.
