Pros and Trade-offs

If you want a keyboard that doubles as a collector's item with immersive Chinese mythology aesthetics and premium keycaps, the Keychron Black Myth Wukong is your choice. If you prioritize gaming performance with features like adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, and VIA support, the LemoKey P1 HE offers a more versatile and future-proof platform. Consider the Wukong for its exclusive design and the P1 HE for its advanced magnetic switch capabilities.

Keychron Black Myth Wukong

  • +Exclusive game-inspired design with golden paint keycaps, a jade paint gourd keycap, and a decorative Dragon Palace backplate.
  • +Solid 6063 aluminum case with CNC machining, polished, and sandblasted finish.
  • +Pre-lubed TTC mechanical switches (Bluish white or Golden Pink) for a crisp or soft typing feel.
  • +Includes 3.0 mm thick EVA acoustic foam, IXPE foam, and PET film for a thocky sound profile.

  • No magnetic switch support or adjustable actuation, limiting gaming performance customization.

  • +Dynamic rapid trigger enables instant key repetition without resetting to fixed points.
  • +VIA support allows easy key remapping and macro creation without compiling firmware.
  • +Full metal body with a mirror-polished strip for a durable and scratch-resistant finish.
  • +Includes 3 mm acoustic foam, 2.5 mm EPDM foam, and PET film for a satisfying sound.

  • Magnetic switches are only compatible with Gateron double-rail switches, not standard MX switches.
  • Heavier build at 1630g (fully assembled) compared to the Wukong's aluminum case.
  • No themed keycaps or decorative elements, focusing purely on function over form.

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

Across most use cases, the LemoKey P1 HE edges ahead thanks to its advanced magnetic switch technology and VIA support, making it a strong pick for gamers, programmers, modders, and content creators. The Black Myth Wukong holds its own for travel and office work where standard mechanical switches and a lighter build are preferred. In office use, both keyboards tie due to shared features like 75% layout and QMK compatibility. For gaming and programming, the P1 HE's adjustable actuation and rapid trigger provide a clear performance advantage.
