Hot on the heels of its well-received larger sibling, Keychron’s gaming-focused sub-brand, Lemokey, is tightening up its lineup with a new compact contender. Meet the Lemokey P3 HE, an 80% TKL wireless magnetic switch keyboard that packs the signature Hall effect technology and a revolutionary quick-release design into a more condensed form factor.
For enthusiasts who crave the F-row for gaming shortcuts or workflow efficiency but don’t have desk real estate to spare for a numpad, this new model aims to hit the sweet spot. It essentially takes the foundation of the excellent Lemokey P2 HE and trims it down, though with one notable sacrifice: the customizable knob has been removed in this iteration.
The Heart of the Matter: Smooth Magnetic Switches & Sonic Sophistication
At its core, the P3 HE relies on the same Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Nebula switches that impressed in our review of the P2 HE. These promise a buttery-smooth and notably stable keystroke, a hallmark of quality magnetic switches. Potential buyers should note, however, that these proprietary switches are not cross-compatible with other magnetic options like Gateron Jade Pros or Wooting Leker switches—you’re buying into the Lemokey ecosystem here.
To counteract potential fatigue during marathon typing or gaming sessions, Lemokey has employed a gasket-mounted design cushioned by multiple layers of sound-dampening foam. The result is a more comfortable, forgiving typing experience with a pleasing, subdued acoustic profile. This is topped off with durable double-shot Cherry profile PBT keycaps that resist shine and provide a textured grip.

The Party Piece: A No-Tools, Quick-Release Metal Case
Perhaps the most standout feature, carried over from the P Series, is the tool-free quick-release design. The entire top case can be disassembled in seconds without a screwdriver in sight, making modifications, switch exploration, or deep cleaning an absolute breeze. This is a unique flex in the Keychron family, offering a level of accessibility typically reserved for more niche custom boards. The case itself is a full metal chassis, available in classic Black or White.

Performance & Connectivity: Hall Effect Goodness Meets Wireless Freedom
Beyond the physical build, the P3 HE is loaded with the software-driven features that make Hall effect keyboards so compelling for gamers. This includes rapid trigger for faster key resets, adjustable actuation with 0.01mm sensitivity, and additional features like SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Direction) and DKS (Dynamic Keystroke). It’s all powered by a 1,000 Hz polling rate for lag-free response, complemented by vibrant north-facing RGB backlighting.
For connectivity, it offers the holy trinity: Bluetooth 5.1, 2.4 GHz wireless via an included dongle, and USB-C wired mode. It’s fully compatible with both Mac and Windows systems out of the box. The 8,000 mAh battery is rated for up to 120 hours of use, which is respectable, though notably less than the staggering endurance of Keychron's newer Q Ultra series boards.

The Bottom Line

By doubling down on the successful quick-release design and the smooth Gateron magnetic switches, Keychron's Lemokey brand is solidifying its position as a major player in the high-performance, user-friendly custom keyboard arena.
