What will you mostly use it for?
The L1 HE has the clearer gaming fit for buyers who want magnetic-switch controls, while the K10 V2 is more suitable when full-size access and layout choice matter. For programming, the K10 V2's numpad and ISO options give it an edge, though both offer QMK and VIA support. Travel is a trade-off: the K10 V2 is lighter, while the L1 HE has the smaller listed footprint.
