Monsgeek M1 QMK DIY Kit

Not just another 75% aluminum DIY Kit.

Value

MonsGeek strictly manages to reduce unnecessary costs through its advanced supply chain to deliver the best value for users.

Flexibility

MonsGeek comes with a PC plate as standard and offers other plates separately. We also offer additional tape and teflon pads for potential mod.

Accessibility

M1 will be available directly, through our partners and from other mainstream shopping platforms as accessibility is our ultimate goal.

Stabilizers

PCB Mount/Screw-in stabilizers tend to vibrate less. M1 uses Akko stabilizers (un-assembled) with nylon housing in case users want to lubricate.

South-facing PCB

The south-facing PCB of the M1 avoids causing interference with Cherry profile keycaps, offering more compatibility and flexibility.

Programmable Knob

Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the premium rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keysand macros on the knob through the VIA/QMK software.

Golden Accent 

Adding a touch of class and elegance, we opted to add a beautiful golden accent so that no matter which way you look at it, you’ll fall in love over and over again. 

QMK / VIA Support

MonsGeek M1 supports VIA for cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) advanced keyboard configuration.

This feature is exclusively for international version of M1.

3mm Case Foam

Monsgeek has developed its own budget custom material that performs equally as well as poron.

*Disclaimer: Using thicker foam may reduce flex, whether to include it or not is down to your personal preference

PET Insulation Layer

A PET insulation layer has been added to the bottom case in order to prevent any short circuit issues. It’s rare for these issues to occur but we want to add extra protection.

Please note: This keyboard is a barebones keyboard and requires simple assembly. Switches and keycaps (sold separately).

Supreme quality

Nothing more than amazing.

Was fun to build as a first time project!

Brilliant quality budget build

The m1 was my first aluminium based build and I took advantage of Akko's sale which included 2 packs of switches with the board. I opted for the lavender pros after loving the way that the cream blues sounded on my last board, the epomaker magic cat.
This board is solid, it offers plenty of options for mods within the kit itself as well as leaving room for additional mods to suit your preferences. It is less flexible than other typing experiences on plastic based boards i've had in the past but the lavender pros with the tape mod and force break mods allow for a poppy tactile sound which is super satisfying. I would suggest that the stabilisers need work from stock and would recommend filming to remove some small pings and wobbles but this is minor.
Again very happy with the quality of this build and it takes very little work to sound great right out of the box on a budget. My partner has the GMMK pro and was devastated to see the quality I got with the M1 at a fraction of the price. Plus the purple is super cute.

It's more than I could have expected!!!

The wait was long for the Monsgeek M1 Purple ISO, but not was it worth it! Paired it up with a set of Cherry MX2A Silent Red Switches and Krome purple keycaps (which basically batched the colour of the keyboard itself), and... It looks beautiful and feels wonderful to type on! I lubed the stabs with some Krytox 205g0, and used all the foam, tape mod and the force break mod. Couldn't have asked for better, and so will be using this keyboard for years to come!!! Absolutely love it! :D

Quality keycaps

Very nice double-shot PBT keycaps!

Make sure you add to the cart all the keycaps you need for your layout, because the selection is very modular.

The only thing I’m missing for my ISO Spain layout are the small righthand Alt, Fn and Ctrl keycaps, but I did get blank keycaps for these spots, so al least it looks complete and clean nonetheless :)

solides Anfänger Custom Keyboard

Ich bin unglaublich glücklich mit der Tastatur! Sie ist zwar verdammt schwer mit fully assembled über 2kg, aber dafür steht sie an Ort und Stelle, da verrutscht nichts. Nutze sie mit Akko Fairy Silent Switches und GPBT ISO-DE Keycaps und bin absolut begeistert. Die Switches sind Stock im Einsatz, sie sind aber pre-lubed und butterweich. Damit kann keine Pre-Build Tastatur mithalten.
Die LEDs scheinen auch mit nicht transparentem Switchgehäuse sehr gut und m.M.n. vollkommen ausreichend.
Leider ist die Farbe des Cases schlecht auf einem Foto festzuhalten, aber sie sieht in Natura unfassbar geil und **** aus!
Nutze sie derzeit mit allen mitgelieferten Mods, jedoch ist ein Force Break Mod in jedem Fall von Nöten, aber dafür werden ja Silikonpads mitgeliefert, die ich jedem rate zu nutzen.
Ich bedanke mich auch für die unfassbar schnelle Lieferung, innerhalb von 7 Tagen nach Bestellung war sie bei mir - MERCI!

Monsgeek M1 mit Akko Silver Pro V3

Ich habe die Tastatur nun seit mehreren Wochen.
Vor dem Kauf der Tastatur war ich auf der Suche nach einer guten Custom Tastatur bzw. Barebone. Und was soll ich sagen. Die Suche nach einer guten Custom Tastatur hat für mich sein Ende in der Monsgeek M1 gefunden.
Die Tastatur ist super schnell bei mir angekommen und ich war ab diesem Moment mehr als geflashed. Der Lieferumfang beinhaltet alles, was man zum modden einer Tastatur gebrauchen kann. Durch eine Aktion zum Zeitpunkt des Kaufes auf der Website von Akko habe ich zudem die Silver Pro V3 Switches "gratis" bzw. inklusive zu der Tastatur bekommen. Diese kann ich ebenfalls nur empfehlen. Ich persönlich habe sie gelubet, aber die sind auch von der Factory aus preloobed und das ziemlich gut. Der Kundensupport hat mir auch bei einer erstmaligen Fehlbestellung schnell und kompetent geholfen. Daumen hoch dafür.
Long story short kann ich diese Tastatur nur jedem empfehlen, der auf der Suche nach einer preislich sehr attraktiven und trotzdem qualitativ sehr hochwertigen Tastatur ist. Ich habe Keycaps von Keyoo auf dieser Tastatur im Cherry Layout und finde diese ergänzen die Tastatur wunschlos.
Vielen Dank an das Akko Team für die schnelle und reibungslose Abwicklung.
