If you’re on the hunt for a new gaming keyboard, Keychron’s latest releases just might pique your interest. Introducing the Lemokey P1 HE and the Keychron Q6 HE, these two new aluminium wireless Hall effect keyboards share some similarities but boast distinct features that set them apart.
First things first, both keyboards come with a sturdy aluminium build, but the feel you get when typing differs between the two due to their unique mounting styles. The Lemokey P1 HE incorporates silicone bean gasket mounts, providing a slightly stiffer typing feel compared to the silicone strips used in the Q6 HE. This subtle difference can greatly influence your typing experience, depending on your personal preference.
One standout feature of the Lemokey P1 HE is its shine-through Cherry keycaps. Not only do they offer a sleek look, but they also enhance the impact of customizable RGB lighting. In contrast, the Q6 HE lacks these shine-through keycaps, posing a challenge for users wanting to fully showcase their lighting effects. The south-facing RGB on the Q6 HE can appear dim with the wrong keycap choice, especially if shine-through options are more suited for north-facing setups.
When it comes to keycap profiles, the keyboards diverge significantly. The Lemokey P1 HE uses a Cherry profile, popular among gamers for its low height and comfort during long gaming sessions. On the other hand, the Q6 HE features OSA (OEM Spherical Angled) profile keycaps, which are taller and might offer a deeper sound and potentially greater comfort for typing. However, these might feel bulkier during an intense gaming marathon.
Discovering which keyboard is perfect for you comes down to personal needs and preferences, whether it’s a sturdier feel, a more vibrant RGB display, or keycap comfort. Regardless, Keychron’s offerings are designed to elevate your tech game and add a touch of style to your setup.
