Compare Keychron Lemokey P1 vs Lemokey X1 Differences Side by Side

This comparison suits buyers choosing between a compact, wireless-capable 75% keyboard and a simpler wired 80% TKL. The P1 offers Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz connectivity, hot-swappable switches, and an aluminum gasket-mount construction. The X1 is substantially lighter, uses shine-through ABS keycaps with red backlighting, and costs less. Both include QMK and VIA support, a 1000 Hz polling rate, and N-key rollover, so the main choice is flexibility and materials versus straightforward wired use.

Pros and Trade-offs

Choose the P1 if wireless connectivity, hot-swappable switches, or its aluminum gasket-mount build justify the added cost and weight. Choose the X1 if you prefer a lighter wired TKL with shine-through red lighting and want to spend less. Both offer QMK and VIA, so software programmability alone does not separate them.

Keychron Lemokey P1

  • +Three connection options: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired.
  • +75% layout with a rotary knob and macro column.
  • +CNC-machined aluminum case, polycarbonate plate, and gasket mount.

  • +PBT keycaps and south-facing RGB lighting.

  • −At 1650 g, it is substantially heavier than the X1.

Keychron Lemokey X1

  • +Lighter 837 g build with an 80% TKL layout.
  • +Wired USB-C connectivity and a 1000 Hz polling rate.
  • +Shine-through double-shot ABS keycaps with north-facing red LED backlighting.
  • +QMK, VIA, and Lemokey Launcher support for remapping and macros.

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

The P1 leads where wireless use, switch swapping, and a knob or macro column matter. The X1 remains a practical wired option for buyers who want a lighter TKL with shine-through keycaps and red lighting. Programming is a close match because both offer QMK, VIA, and the Lemokey Launcher. For travel, the P1 has wireless operation and a smaller layout, but its substantially greater listed weight is a real drawback.
