What will you mostly use it for?
The P1 has an edge for gaming and programming because its listed polling rate and regional layout range are stronger fits for those priorities. The M1W is the more travel-oriented pick if battery capacity matters more than carrying weight. Modding is close, with both offering hot-swap and firmware support, while the M1W's listing adds specific physical extras. Office and content creation are balanced, with shared knob and layout traits and different customization details.
