The keyboard is great, feels so good to type on and the sound is amazing!
The Switches are fine, i wish Akko would make heavier tactiles that are as smooth as those, as they are now... way to light for my liking!
Firstly, overall a nice feeling.
Solid build, I like the stabilizers and the magnetic mount.
But a huge downside for me is the switch under the capslock key (which I overread).
I do sometimes switch between windows and mac, wich makes that switch position a pain.
At least the different modes (wired, 2.4Ghz, bluetooth) can be switched via shortcut.
The other thing I really dislike is the paintjob. The paint itself looks nice (I got the white) but it is really sensitive to scatches. I recommend to always remove the top cover before removing keycaps.
Also I had some trouble connecting to VIA. After firmware updating and fiddeling with VIA it worked.
One good thing I want to mention is the sound. Which comes to my mind again while typing on it and writing this review. I can't help but like the sound of it.
So after all I'm going to keep it.
Perfect manufacturing, perfectly heavy weight and easy to disassemble.
I laso love how easy it is to switch between a connection through cable, bluetooth ir the USB dongle.
All in all, a great product.
I've got Monsgeek M1 V5 VIA barebone with TTC Frozen Silent v2 and keycaps from Nuphy. I am very satisfied with the build. I like the materials quality, that it is easy to disassemble and have positive experience interacting with Monsgeek Support. Only two concerns so far:
1. the switch to swap wired and wireless modes is stored inconveniently, under CapsLock. I tend to take the keyboard from home to the office and vice versa so have to always take keycaps puller with me. Competitors managed to sort it better.
2. when I switch to the wired mode (while travelling) and then back to the wireless, the keyboard remembers my notebook Bluetooth connection but actually does not simply work. I have to connect it with a cable, then get into Windows, switch to the cable connection in wireless mode and then back to the Bluetooth connection that is remembered - only then it starts working. Doing that each time upon travelling to the office and then back home is a little annoying. I believe there is an issue with Bluetooth firmware within the keyboard and Monsgeek Support promised to take a look without ETA.
I though wont take away a star due to the above, I still believe the keyboard overall is of great value.
This keyboard is amazing, and miles better than the glorious gmmk pro I had before. Akko is amazing and even provided my with a black knob at my request as a gift alongside another item so I could match and create my black and white keyboard. Their switches are amazing as well and honestly it’s perfect for such a great price too. Only wish is that the windows/Mac mode switch was on the exterior and the rgb being a little brighter. Love them <3
Reviews in Other Languages
Bin durchaus mit der Tastatur zufrieden. Verglichen mit anderen Herstellern der Preisklasse ist diese sehr gut. Der Sternanzug geht allerdings in Richtung Software. Diese gibt's es nicht wirklich...über opensource Via lässt sich zwar einiges steuern, ist aber von der Bedienbarkeit und Umfang nicht wirklich gut...RGB Beleuchtung kann nur vordefiniert einstellt werden.
Per gli amanti di questo genere di tastiera posso dire che è veramente bella, pratica e di una qualità assurda.
Ich mag es fühlt sich gut an und sehr schwer
