I’ve been watching this on repeat! This keyboard is definitely on my wishlist. I love the layout, you get the usability of the numpad but not the massive size of a full size
Your vids got recommended to me and they make me want to build my own! I’ve never been into keyboards but the building aspect seems so cool and fun, rewarding even :^)
Those osume keycaps look so crisp and clean, sis 😭 Hey hey welcome back 🎉 arghh monsgeek keebs.. I've been debating on getting one for so long bc I wanted my first alu keeb but I was torn between getting a budget one or the premium ones (been eyeing the zoom75 as we speak but I've never done group buys before.. And no moneysss 😭). I also kinda wanted one with a silver case too to match a keycap set I have in mind. Your video gave me a good idea how a silver monsgeek case looks like so I can picture how it looks like. I'm surprised by how much foam there is in the keeb - and they give tape for us to tape mod?? 😮 You had two configs here... One with tape and one without pcb foam. What's pcb foam btw? Is that the foam between pcb and plate? All these foams are making me confused. What seems to have the deeper but less muted sound, do you think? (I'm so curious what your upcoming purple alu keeb is hehe). 😂 Also akko snow blue gray is such a pretty colour for switches. Do you think they need lubing or are good stock? Final thoughts about the monsgeek kb? (I was eyeing their m1 actually) Is it worth getting? Affordable and worth it as a daily driver? Any drawbacks/cons while building it? Thanks for the build as always ❤🎉
i think monsgeek alu keebs in general are great especially for the value. old flaws of monsgeek m1 is fixed in the new m1 versions (like the jst interference). but if you're already spending extra money, i would save up for something you really want aka the zoom75. I was actually looking at the zoom75 as well but i've already bought the qk75 during the gb! yes all of those foams and the tape are all included! which keycaps set did you have in mind? pcb back foam is just another foam to dampen the sound! I do hear it now that you say that; it's definitely less muted than the tape mod. im sure by now you know !! lol it's an amazing color and i am in love with it! it comes unlubed and imo, its always better to lube unlubed switches as they just sound wayy smoother!!! as my first alu keeb, i couldn't complain at all especially at its price. it may be a deal breaker for people as it is not wireless but honestly for me it's not a problem. alu keebs are so heavy i wouldn't be bringing this anywhere else other than being at my desk lol. i do love it as my daily driver - it's easily moddable (if thats a word lol?), compatible with QMK/VIA! (which i need to play around with more) and for what i do right now the numpad is a great addition.
@@poongie Thanks for the reply sis 😊 Since you've partaken in a gb before, how's your experience of it? (The buying and waiting process so far) I heard from some vids that they're not worth it and it's better to get keebs that are in stock. They also say budget boards are almost as good as the premium ones you get from gb so I'm in a dilemma haha. 😂 like I kinda want a premium but I don't fancy the waiting and the high cost but at the same time, those keebs look so prettyy 😢
Hi! Really love your vid! I would like to ask if there’s a way to change the top most right key slot into a volume knob? Does such thing exist? I’m new to the hobby and wanting to get my first keyboard
so essentially you place 2-3 layers of tape on both sides of all the screw holes to prevent the metal on metal contact. i only applied one layer bec i had teflon pad which is kind of 2-3 layers of painters tape

bro i cant get enough of these videos theyre so comfy cozy
hehehe tyty ❤️❤️
babe wake up, new poongie video just dropped
damn, i thought i was your babe... lolol jkjk
@@poongie wym jk got my hopes up
for nothing huh 😔 LOL
Your vids got recommended to me and they make me want to build my own! I’ve never been into keyboards but the building aspect seems so cool and fun, rewarding even :^)
it is!! i would really compare it to building ikea furniture or legos! it’s relaxing and for sure rewarding!!
Every second of these vids are worth
awe thank you!!!
this sound is so GOOD!!
nah bro have you heard your voice?! makes my ears melt ;p
now THAT is a beautiful kit I think i know what my next build is gonna be 👀
do it do it do it 👀
Did you just remove the tape and put it back for the sound test? or is it impossible to remove it without it tearring
The enter key sounds so nice, press it more keyboard mommy
😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I got this one but don't know how to build it, so Thank you!
hope it helped a little!
so nice :0 the space bar sounds great i wonder if tape / no pe foam / plate foam would sound good
tyty, i love how marbly it is 🤤 hmmm maybe i’ll try that!! i would assume it be less marbly?
i was bout to cop the same build those keycaps looks so damn clean but they're outta stock🥲
i would join their discord they always post updates about restock dates!!
Those osume keycaps look so crisp and clean, sis 😭

Nice build! Great vid quality :)
thank you!! c:
i think you should use a deskmat to reduce the table reverb
i have desk mats but i love the look of wood so i might have to get some keebmats in the future!
Press harder to put all the foam and tape mod, will fit 100%.
Hi! Really love your vid! I would like to ask if there’s a way to change the top most right key slot into a volume knob? Does such thing exist? I’m new to the hobby and wanting to get my first keyboard
i think i have seen those before but it doesn’t seen to reliable as i havent heard anyone talk about it much and the reviews werent the best :(
hey, will a monsgeek m3 TKL sound the same if i did the same configuration of mods with the same switches (lubed ofc)?
i feel like it will sound the same but it is a diff sized keeb so it might sound a little different
so crispyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
hehe
how many layers of tape did u mod?
one layer! i used the tape the board came with :)
how do you do force break mod??
so essentially you place 2-3 layers of tape on both sides of all the screw holes to prevent the metal on metal contact. i only applied one layer bec i had teflon pad which is kind of 2-3 layers of painters tape
Please be my keyboard sugar mommy
