Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you require a numpad for data entry, finance, or content creation shortcuts, the Cidoo ABM098 is the clear and more affordable option. If you prioritize a compact, premium aluminum build with a confirmed high polling rate for gaming and want a barebones starting point for modding, the Keychron P1 (or P1 Pro) is the stronger candidate, albeit potentially at a higher cost.

  • +Includes a full numpad in a space-saving 1800-compact layout.
  • +Comes fully assembled (pre-built) with switches and keycaps.
  • +Features detailed sound dampening with Poron PCB foam, an IXPE switch sheet, and silicone bottom foam.
  • +Offers triple connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz, and wired USB-C.
  • +Includes a rotary knob for media control out of the box.
  • −Larger, heavier, and less portable than the 75% P1.
  • −Case is made of ABS plastic instead of metal.
  • −The vendor description does not specify a polling rate for performance comparison.

Keychron Lemokey P1

  • +Explicitly lists a 1000 Hz polling rate for 2.4GHz and wired modes.
  • +Available in a barebones kit version for custom builds.
  • +Offers extensive ISO layout support for international users.
  • +Uses a polycarbonate plate, which can provide a more flexible typing feel.
  • −Lacks a dedicated numpad or function row, requiring use of layers.
  • −The wireless (P1 Pro) version may be priced higher than the wired Cidoo.
  • −The listed keycaps are non-shine-through PBT, which may not showcase RGB lighting as brightly.

The Keychron P1 wins for gaming and travel due to its confirmed high polling rate, aluminum build, and compact size. The Cidoo ABM098 is the better office and content creation tool because of its integrated numpad.
