It’s a fantastic keyboard; there is little doubt about that.

Configuration

Like all Keychron keyboards, the Lemokey L3 is available in several configurations.

It’s a good range of options, not forgetting that the Lemokey L3 is a hot-swappable keyboard.

Hot-swappable means you might replace the keyboard’s switches without soldering; they’re plug-and-play.

Style and Construction

The Lemokey L3 feels sublime.

It’s a premium gaming mechanical keyboard that weighs an excellent 1.97kg (4.3lbs).

The weight has another important use, thoughstopping your keyboard from moving around as you game or key in.

With dimensions of 15.8 x 5.4 x 1.7 inches, the Lemokey L3 is a 91-key, tenkeyless design.

A full-size keyboard is usually around 17 inches wide, while most TKLs are around 14 inches.

The Keychron Lemokey L3 is a premium gaming mechanical keyboard with hot-swappable switches, 1,000Hz polling rate, and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity. It boasts a robust CNC machined aluminum build, is customizable using VIA software, and offers up to 300 hours of battery life on Bluetooth. With a tenkeyless design enhanced by extra macro keys and a media knob, the Lemokey L3 blends style and functionality.

The case is relatively uniform.

One nice touch is the three lights above the direction keys, each pertaining to a different feature.

The Lemokey L3 is available in three color schemes: Carbon Black, Navy Blue, and Space Silver.

I didn’t track this precisely, but I never ran out of battery using either wireless mode.

Lemokey L3 Typing Experience

The Lemokey L3 is a dream to pop in on.

The Lemokey L3 has a five-degree typing angle, which is comfortable for me but might not suit everyone.

However, as the L3 doesn’t have any integrated adjustment feet, you’re stuck with it.

Customization With VIA

Keychron has long used VIA for its desktop customization software.

It’s free, well-supported by the mechanical keyboard community, and has extensive customization options.

It’s just not as polished.

At other times, you might make changes without realizing it and then struggle to revert them.

Still, the range of customization is always impressive.

Is the Lemokey L3 a Good Gaming Keyboard?

The fully assembled knob version of the Lemokey L3 retails for $214.

It’s a great price for a truly top-notch keyboard and one that will last you a literal lifetime.
