Hands-On Insights: As Both Users and Creators of MonsGeek FUN60
📅Dec 17 2024
At MonsGeek, we believe in being upfront with our customers about our products and the challenges we face during development.
The FUN60 Magnetic Switch Keyboard, as a budget-friendly option, delivers great value within its price range. Although we’ve put considerable effort into enhancing the performance of its stabilizers after extensive testing, there is still room for further improvement.
Why Don’t the Sound Profile of the FUN60 Series Perform as Well as Other MonsGeek Fully Assembled Models?
Due to the thinner ABS cases and the light actuation force of magnetic switches, we found it challenging to fine-tune the stabilizers in the FUN60 Pro/Max versions of the FUN60 to meet our ideal standards. Despite applying factory lubrication and even swapping out springs in the magnetic switches to make them heavier, some limitations persist.
We think it’s crucial to be transparent about this.
What We’re Developing and How Users Can Enhance the Typing Experience?
✔ Screw-in Stabilizer in Consideration
Screw-in stabilizers may be helpful sound-wise and we are actively looking at this option as long as:
- It doesn’t cause interference with the existing case and TMR sensors
- The precision of 0.01mm remain solid on the PCB.
Based on the current data, thicker switch pad would also affect the accuracy of actuation. Hence we need to be super careful on this comparing to the time when we deal with 0.1mm precision. And we will continue to see if screw-in stabilizers are possible on FUN60.

✔ Users can try using case foam or a mousepad for enhanced performance.
- For keyboard enthusiasts or community members looking to enhance their typing experience, we recommend adding a heavy silicone case foam to increase the keyboard’s weight.
- Additionally, using a mousepad on your desk can help improve the sound profile.
✔ What We Strive to Share and Do Better?
The FUN60 Pro version will start at $29.99, and we hope to deliver its full value at this price point.
For the Ultra version, made from CNC aluminum and supporting certain mechanical switch options, we’ll fine-tune the stabilizers to the best of our ability and enhance the magnetic switches for greater stability and reliability.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
