Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Azoth

Keychron Lemokey L3

The ASUS ROG Azoth and the Keychron Lemokey L3 are both wireless, mechanical gaming keyboards with gasket-mounted designs. The ASUS has a slightly smaller compact (75%) form factor and provides slightly better typing quality, mostly thanks to its stabilizers, which come pre-lubed from the factory and feel more consistent. The ASUS also has a programmable OLED screen and better data transmission, making it a better option for competitive gaming. On the other hand, the Lemokey has a larger TenKeyLess form factor. It also offers better hardware customizability and includes a row of macro keys the ASUS lacks.
