The recessed USB port was one of my drawbacks, because all my other keyboards I use I put on a 90 angle USB so when I want to use this keyboard I need to change cables. This is a great keyboard, another thing I overlooked with the wireless is its not qMK VIA and does not support SignalRGB. But other than that its a fantastic keyboard and I am very happy with it.
Just got my M7W in black, used Akko V3 Cream Yellow Pro’s and Ghost Judges caps, tuned the stabs and did the force break. Sounds as amazing as both the M2’s that I have. Only complaint is wish the switch was external not under the caps lock. It is one of my travel keyboards and switch is very inconvenient. Otherwise love it!
Great sounding boards. I am very happy with my m1. Will be keen to hear this with different switches. Never been a fan of the jelly black sound profile.
No, as seen here: ruclips.net/video/PR84ngCIf0A/видео.htmlsi=gs50fgL4re6DSqYO&t=429 - But the wireless Monsgeeks do not use QMK, and I've not seen any firmware flashes. I've only ever seen DFU/Rest buttons on QMK keyboards.
Do you still have this keyboard? Could you help me take a clear picture of the PCB underneath especially around circuitry around the processor and close to the battery socket? I need to compare it with mine.
Thank you for this video. Mine makes a squeeky sound when pressing down bottom left side of the keyboard, especially the control key. Does this ever occur to you?
Thanks a bunch. Got mine same color but went with silent linear DUROCK daybreak and I'm lovin' it. Got a question though, do you know how to turn off the battery indictor under the space bar? it's always on even when I shut off the back light and there is no key FN+ any key nor the MONSGEEK drive an opting to turn it off. Thanks in advance.
I do not know of any setting to turn it off, I've looked. I ended up just cutting a small square of electrical tape and covering the LED: i.imgur.com/mu2OWYD.png
is this a standard sized right shift? thinking of getting this for my next build and using domikey miami nights on it but I dont want to pay the extra £25 for a 1.75u right shift. thanks
I don't recall if they're Kailh branded but they are standard hot swap sockets that work with the majority of switches. You can see them here: ruclips.net/video/PR84ngCIf0A/видео.htmlsi=ev1UaSZISzvjn2VB&t=402
Just got mine m7w and I absolutely love it. Is there any way to switch off the green battery indicator under the spacebar in the wired mode? It's a bit annoying.
@@MechKeyboards I left my keyboard connected to USB overnight and in the morning the green light was off. When I've unplugged USB for a while it returned again. Looks like it's detecting the battery charge with some mistake and need around 100.1% charge to turn the light off.
Any tips on how to take car of the battery? im concerned if im in wired mode all of the time the batter would overcharge or is thos not a concern at all?
If you never plan to run it wireless, you can unplug the battery, but otherwise exercise the same caution you would use for any electronics with a battery.
@@JahredJoshRivera-mj1iz yes, for at least a couple of years. I put a small sticker with the date I start using it, then after two years keep an eye on the battery, disconnect, or replace it if I see any swelling.
I appreciate how thorough you are with these videos. I'm learning a lot as a newbie. Thank you!
Glad to be I can be of assistance, thanks for watching, cheers!

Best value boards in the business
Agreed.
Got mine yesterday, do you already have idea what little foam sticker does?
You know, I never received an answer on that...
Great sounding boards. I am very happy with my m1.
Will be keen to hear this with different switches. Never been a fan of the jelly black sound profile.
greeting fellow humans is such a good opening phrase
Ladies and gentlemen works too.
Did you feel the need to modify these stabs? Or were they pretty stable
Nope, all I did was lube them and test that the wires were balanced, which they were.
the akko plate mounted stabs are elite.
forgot to ask does this keyboard have a hailmary DFU button in case firmware gets botched during a flash?
No, as seen here: ruclips.net/video/PR84ngCIf0A/видео.htmlsi=gs50fgL4re6DSqYO&t=429 - But the wireless Monsgeeks do not use QMK, and I've not seen any firmware flashes. I've only ever seen DFU/Rest buttons on QMK keyboards.
Hi, sorry to bother, but I have a question: does the board support screw in stabs? Really nice reviews, anyways; you have a new follower!
No bother at all, yes, the PCB has the holes for screw in stabilizers though the plate might need modifications for stabilizers to fit.
@@MechKeyboards thank you very much
@@maurogatti2009 you can see the holes on the PCB here: ruclips.net/video/PR84ngCIf0A/видео.htmlsi=G6mHugbRvfbldVdd&t=767
Do you still have this keyboard? Could you help me take a clear picture of the PCB underneath especially around circuitry around the processor and close to the battery socket? I need to compare it with mine.
I do but it's packed away. When I get a chance I will try to take some close up photos of the PCB.
Thank you for this video. Mine makes a squeeky sound when pressing down bottom left side of the keyboard, especially the control key. Does this ever occur to you?
Nope, you might want to open it up and see if the gasket is mounted correctly, that would be my guess as to what could be squeaking.
@@MechKeyboards great thanks for your feedback!👍

@@5LD314 sorry, can't say. Under which key?
@@5LD314 oh, odd. Can't say I have a clue, perhaps reach out to Monsgeek about it?
is this a standard sized right shift? thinking of getting this for my next build and using domikey miami nights on it but I dont want to pay the extra £25 for a 1.75u right shift. thanks
Yes it is, one of my preferred right shift size.
Is that thing really 2KG??
If it was im gonna buy it
Right under, yes.
What is the kind of hot swap socket did the board use?
I don't recall if they're Kailh branded but they are standard hot swap sockets that work with the majority of switches.

would have loved to seen a foamless build
When I come back to it I will do a foamless sound test.
Does the plate foam reduce the flex at all?
A bit, yes.
Just got mine m7w and I absolutely love it.
Is there any way to switch off the green battery indicator under the spacebar in the wired mode? It's a bit annoying.
They have been informed of the issue and may release a fix. I cut a small square of electrical tape and covered it.

Good to know, thanks@@mmironov!
had you figured out any other workarounds to this besides removing the actual cord or taping over the led?
No@@aquarellstifte not yet. Monsgeek did say they would look into it, I will ask them if there is an update.
do you have sound comparison between using poron and no poron?
No, but do you mean case poron or plate/PCB poron?
@@MechKeyboards the thick foam between the pcb and plate, I wanted to remove mine but its hard to unscrew 🤣
I'll have to take a look when I come back to mod this board@@erensc2643
@@MechKeyboards cool, im looking forward to it
@@erensc2643 it's standard clockwise to tighten, counter to loosen. Be cautious they are soft screws and work best with the right sized bit.
Any tips on how to take car of the battery? im concerned if im in wired mode all of the time the batter would overcharge or is thos not a concern at all?
If you never plan to run it wireless, you can unplug the battery, but otherwise exercise the same caution you would use for any electronics with a battery.
But its okay to use while charging right
@@JahredJoshRivera-mj1iz yes, for at least a couple of years. I put a small sticker with the date I start using it, then after two years keep an eye on the battery, disconnect, or replace it if I see any swelling.

thanks alot
also i find it impressive how you can help a viewer in the comment section in a video that was posted over 4 months ago
@@rllydude3600I can't answer every question, but I do try!
Can you remap its keys?
Yes, using the Monsgeek Cloud software.
Sorry im noob on this, but for example can the insert button be turned to prt screen button?
@@JahredJoshRivera-mj1iz yes, I understand, keys can be remapped using the Monsgeek Cloud software.

Cidoo v65 or this one?
This one hands down. I have (6) both V1 and V2 broken Cidoo V65s. Many corners were cut.
