The Lemokey L1 keyboard is a 75%-format entry into Lemokeys aluminum-cased L series.
And its more of the same story with the L1, which costs the same.
So, should you still consider the Lemokey L1 for your next mechanical keyboard?
Read on for my full Lemokey L1 keyboard review.
Add Lemokeys hallmark customizability, and the L1 is quite the all-rounder.
The volume knob itself is a large, textured roller.
Like most other aluminum case keyboards, the L1 doesnt have adjustable feet.
Gaming performance
The Gateron Jupiter Banana switches I tested are great.
I also enjoyed the broad, flat Cherry profile keycaps, which make finding the correct keys easier.
Managing my economy in Victoria 3 was never easier.
It also runs open source QMK firmware, which allows enthusiasts to fine-tune the board from a software perspective.
Connection and build issues certainly raise an eyebrow given the $214 asking price.
Of course, it isnt rectified yet, so this is still a reason to avoid the board.
Quality control
A minor, yet annoying, flaw was the wired connection port.
Value
Unfortunately, for $214, the Lemokey L1 feels like a bad investment.
Lemokey L1 review: Verdict
The Lemokey L1 is by no means a bad keyboard.
In fact, I would say its a good board overall.
