Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If your work or play relies on a function row, navigation keys, and a knob for shortcuts, the Keychron P1 is the more capable and versatile tool. If your priority is a keyboard that is easy to carry, lasts a long time on a charge, and you are comfortable with a more minimalist 65% layout, the Yunzii AL65 is the better fit. Consider the P1 for a primary desk setup and the AL65 as a mobile companion.
