Choose the Black Myth Wukong if the themed PBT keycaps, Dragon Palace backplate, and gourd knob matter more than layout flexibility. Both share a 75% gasket-mounted aluminum build with 1000 Hz polling, so the choice comes down to customization routes and regional layout needs.

What will you mostly use it for?
The Lemokey P1 takes most categories because of its ISO layout range, barebones kit, and VIA support. Gaming is close to a tie since both list a 1000 Hz polling rate and gasket mount. Travel slightly favors the Black Myth Wukong for its compact 75% footprint and lighter listed weight. Office, programming, modding, and content creation lean toward the P1 for layout flexibility and remapping options.
It's a tie
- Both list a 1000 Hz polling rate on 2.4 GHz and wired modes, so competitive latency expectations are similar.
- Both use a gasket mount and screw-in stabilizers for consistent key feel during fast input.
- The Black Myth Wukong ships pre-built with TTC mechanical switches, while the Lemokey P1 offers Keychron Super switches in Red, Brown, or Banana.

Keychron Black Myth Wukong vs Lemokey P1: your questions
The Black Myth Wukong is listed with an ANSI layout standard only, with no ISO variants in the product data. The Lemokey P1 instead lists ANSI, ISO, ISO-DE, ISO-ES, ISO-FR, ISO-Nordic, ISO-SW, and ISO-UK options. Buyers outside the US should check the P1 if layout familiarity matters.
Yes, the Lemokey P1 lists QMK firmware support plus VIA and the Lemokey Launcher web app. You can remap each key and the knob function, and set macros or shortcuts. VIA setup requires downloading a JSON keymap file because automatic recognition is still pending.
The Keychron product page lists pre-lubed TTC mechanical switches in Bluish White or Golden Pink. The Bluish White is described as offering a clear, definite typing feel, while the Golden Pink is described with a strong rebound and soft touch. Both boards support hot-swapping 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches.
Both keyboards list a 4000 mAh battery. Keychron lists up to 200 hours of Bluetooth working time with backlight off for the Lemokey P1, and up to 100 hours with RGB at lowest brightness. The Black Myth Wukong lists the same 4000 mAh capacity but does not publish the same runtime figures in the provided vendor page.
The Lemokey P1 offers a barebone knob kit so you can choose your own keycaps and switches from the start. It also lists QMK firmware, VIA, and the Lemokey Launcher for remapping. The Black Myth Wukong is hot-swappable and QMK-capable but is sold pre-built without a barebones option.
Yes, both list a 6063 aluminum case processed through CNC machining. The Black Myth Wukong page mentions polishing, sandblasting, and 24 more manufacturing stages. The Lemokey P1 page mentions CNC machining, polishing, anodizing, and sandblasting, plus a mirror-polished rear strip.
The Black Myth Wukong lists 3.0 mm EVA acoustic foam, IXPE foam, and PET film. The Lemokey P1 lists a combination of IXPE, PET, and absorbing foam. Both use a gasket mount and screw-in stabilizers to reduce resonance and rattle.
The Lemokey P1 lists 1650 g for the P1 Pro and 1720 g for the wired P1. The Black Myth Wukong does not list a weight, so the P1 is the only one with a published figure. Both are 75% layouts with a 4000 mAh battery, so footprint is similar.
Both list knob support. The Black Myth Wukong includes a gourd-shaped resin knob on the Deluxe Edition and a Destined One's Eye knob on the Standard Version. The Lemokey P1 uses an aluminum rotary encoder that can be remapped through the Lemokey Launcher.
The Lemokey P1 adds a knob and macro column that can be assigned to zoom, brightness, volume, or custom commands. Its QMK, VIA, and Lemokey Launcher support makes macro setup more flexible. The Black Myth Wukong offers QMK and the Keychron Launcher but lacks the dedicated macro column.
Both list Mac and Windows support. The Lemokey P1 fully assembled version includes Mac and Windows keycaps, and the P1 Pro ISO version additionally includes extra keycaps for Windows and Mac. The Black Myth Wukong page also lists Mac and Windows support.
Yes, both list south-facing RGB lighting. The Lemokey P1 lists 22 preset RGB backlight options plus adjustable hue, saturation, brightness, and effect speed. The Black Myth Wukong lists south-facing RGB designed for non-shine-through PBT keycaps.
