Oh Amazon, this was "Used - Very Good". Someone's tape-mod went bad so they returned it.

Monsgeek M1 v5 Tape mod on PCB. Tape on case foam, wut? Non-working encoder. Massively overlubed stabilizers.

I had a mate just came over last week and I’ve been telling him about custom keyboards and he was like “never really understood why people would waste time and effort on custom keyboards just buy one ready made (from the big commercial brands)”; he tried my recently acquired Monsgeek M1 V5 with the

Clicky vs HE?

I know that monsgeek is owned by akko. The OEM that produces the PCB for the m1 v5 TMR is a company called rongyuan, and their firmware suffers from many stability issues caused by poor input filtration.

75 ISO Tastatur Empfehlung

Inky 75 or Monsgeek M1 V5

Either works great, I currently have an inky but I also owned the M1 for quite some time. See if you prefer the functionality of VIA or the hardware of the monsgeek

Inky 75 or Monsgeek M1 V5

Inky 75 or Monsgeek M1 V5

Same dilemma 2mos ago. Got to try both in a local store. Bought the Monsgeek V1 in a heartbeat. Form factor, build, layout, is just better. Not much but just enough to justify it over Inky75.
