"Having used the L5 HE 8K for a better part of a week in both gaming, typing for work, and general everyday tasks, I’ve come away satisfied with the overall experience. It’s a testament to the Lemokey Lime magnetic switches that bring an effortlessly smooth keystroke and performance that’s on par with any of the great Hall Effect keyboards out there."
Lemokey L5 HE review: Finally, a proper gaming keyboard from Lemokey -by Peter Wolinski @Tom’s Guide
"Lemokey finally makes a gaming keyboard to compete with pro-tier 8K Hall Effect decks from Wooting, NuPhy and others. The L5 HE is a beast of a keyboard, packing a wide array of magnetic gaming features and oodles of modding potential within a premium, CNC-machined aluminum body. It’s pricey, as all elite keyboards are, and its rivals offer more features on paper, but in real-world usage, the L5 HE punches just as hard as any other gaming deck out there."
"During some typing tests, I found that the L5 HE's magnetic switches were less fatiguing than clicky switches and produced fewer errors than sensitive linear keyboards. If you struggle to find the right balance between speed and accuracy, a Hall effect keyboard may be the answer."
"The Lemokey strikes a balance here and is an absolute joy to both game and work with. Customizable actuation points allowed me to create a less sensitive profile for writing and working while building a more sensitive one with rapid trigger enabled for gaming. Soft keystrokes limit noise, and hall effect switches feel precise and responsive."
"Designed for competitive gamers, the keyboard boasts 8,000Hz polling and scan rates, which is said to reduce latency to just 0.125 milliseconds. Its Ultra-Fast Lime Magnetic Switches offer adjustable actuation points ranging from 0.01mm to 3.35mm, with a sensitivity increment of 0.01mm."
"The L5 HE 8K has some incredible smoothness and softness in typing and it's hard for me to now switch back to my traditional mechanical keyboards. The performance is miles ahead in every area and the best part is how versatile it can be in customizations."
"It's clear to say that the Lemokey L5 HE 8K would be an ideal keyboard for gamers. The inherent customizable nature of it, as well as gaming-forward features and its RGB lighting, certainly lend itself to that category of user."
"But at the same time, it's a premium keyboard option that also works for people who spend a very long time at their Mac, typing away for a living. With the ability to fine-tune how much you press the buttons, it's practical for both light typists and people who habitually bottom out switches while typing."
"Speaking of smooth, I’d be remiss to close out this review without mentioning just how good this keyboard sounds. It’s got the right amount of ‘thock’ with every keypress, and the space bar in particular has a sort of ‘bounce’ to it that’s satisfying from the first press to the thousandth."
