Keychron P2 HE Review: Wireless Keyboard Tricks & Lemokey Hands-On

by priyanka.patel tech editor

Many computer users react with confusion to 65% keyboards, questioning where the missing keys are—but this smaller form factor offers surprising flexibility. While the Lemokey P2 HE conserves desk space, it lacks a function row and dedicated navigation cluster, a problem solved by software like Keychron Launcher and the open-source QMK-based firmware.

Customization is Key with the Lemokey P2 HE

The Lemokey P2 HE’s software allows users to remap keys and create custom functions, overcoming the limitations of its compact design.

  • Keychron Launcher provides extensive customization options, including key remapping.
  • Users can assign “missing” keys to a secondary layer accessed via the Fn key.
  • Macros, RGB lighting, and even knob functions are configurable.
  • Full Hall-effect feature customization is available through Lemokey or Keychron Launcher.

Keychron Launcher’s wealth of options allows users to place those seemingly “missing” keys on a secondary layer, activated by holding the Fn key or other designated layer keys. Beyond simple remapping, you can configure macros and personalize RGB lighting. Even the keyboard’s knob can be programmed to scroll web pages or execute macros with each rotation. While Lemokey’s default shortcuts are sensible, the ability to tweak them through a web interface unlocks even greater utility.

The Lemokey P2 HE also allows customization of Hall-effect features, including actuation point, rapid trigger, SOCD, mod tap, DKS, and controller emulation, all within either Lemokey or Keychron Launcher.

What is QMK firmware? QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard) is an open-source keyboard firmware that allows for extensive customization of keyboard behavior.
