Keychron now offers the Lemokey L1 HE Magnetic Gaming Keyboard for direct purchase
The tech world is abuzz with the arrival of Keychron's latest innovation, the Lemokey L1 HE magnetic wireless keyboard. This premium device, the first in the Lemokey line, promises to redefine the user experience, offering a blend of durability, customisation, and wireless flexibility that surpasses many traditional mechanical keyboards.
At the heart of the L1 HE is the groundbreaking Hall Effect magnetic switch technology. Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on physical contact, the L1 HE's magnetic switches use magnets to detect key presses, providing consistent, lightning-fast actuation and greater durability. This design reduces physical wear and contact degradation common in mechanical switches, ensuring a longer lifespan for the keyboard.
One of the standout features of the L1 HE is its customisable actuation points. Users can fine-tune each key’s actuation point anywhere between 0.2 to 3.8 mm, allowing for highly personalised typing or gaming responses with a sensitivity of 0.1 mm. This level of customisation is difficult to achieve with standard mechanical switches.
The L1 HE offers versatile connectivity options, supporting 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C modes. It maintains a 1000 Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes, ensuring ultra-low latency essential for competitive gaming. The keyboard also features hot-swappable magnetic switches, making it easy to replace or upgrade switches without the need for soldering, enhancing longevity and customisability.
The L1 HE boasts a premium build quality, with a CNC-milled aluminum chassis for durability and aesthetics, double-shot PBT keycaps for wear resistance, and additional programmable macro keys and a rotary knob for enhanced functionality. The keyboard is available in Black, White, and Space Silver colourways, priced at $239.99.
For everyday use, the L1 HE allows fast switching between three devices using Bluetooth. It also uses open-source QMK firmware, allowing for full customisation and remapping using the Lemokey configurator. The L1 HE's battery can last up to 100 hours when wireless and has a charging time of around 5 hours.
Paul Tan, COO of Keychron, states that the L1 HE marks a key milestone in making premium magnetic keyboards accessible without compromise. The L1 HE's advanced magnetic hardware, combined with the convenience of wireless connectivity, makes it particularly suitable for gamers and coders. With its 86-key design, open-source firmware for extensive customisation, and pro-grade connectivity, the L1 HE is set to revolutionise the typing and gaming experience for users worldwide.
- The L1 HE, with its Hall Effect magnetic switch technology, RGB backlights, and QMK firmware, is a gadget that exemplifies the latest advancements in technology, making it ideal for smart-home-devices, gaming, and coding.
- As a part of its diverse features, the L1 HE keyboard offers customisable actuation points, compatible with gadgets that require fine-tuned responses, and is available in three colorways, aligning it with the aesthetics of various personal devices.
