Compare Keychron Black Myth Wukong vs Lemokey P1 Differences Side by Side

This comparison suits buyers deciding between a themed 75% aluminum keyboard and a more configurable 75% platform. The Black Myth Wukong leans on its game-inspired keycaps, decorative backplate, and gourd knob, while the Lemokey P1 offers broader layout options, a barebones kit, and VIA support. Both share a 75% size, gasket mount, aluminum case, PBT keycaps, and 1000 Hz polling, so the decision comes down to layout flexibility and customization rather than core typing feel.

Pros and Trade-offs

Pick the Lemokey P1 if you need ISO layout options, a barebones kit, or VIA remapping, since those are the clearest differentiators. 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.
