Lubed Stabilizers
M1 V5 has lubed stabilizers for easier assembly, perfect for beginners. It also includes extra Screw-in stabilizers to suit different user preferences.

A Full-fledged Upgrade
M1 V5 75% Aluminum Series features a full-fledged upgrade to the noise reduction system, and provides greater flexibility for experimenting with different sound profiles than before.
Plate Foam & Swith Pad
Poron Plate foam and IXPE switch pads reduce noise, providing a cleaner and more comfortable sound experience when typing
Case Foam
3.0mm thick top white Poron case foam with socket cut-outs, combined with a PET layer for enhanced sound isolation and noise reduction
PET Film
An additional PET layer is attached to the plate foam to keep a good seal for the best possible effect on the sound of the keyboard
Separate Encoder
The V5 features an upgraded PCB with a separate encoder on a dedicated circuit board, enhancing stability, durability, and performance. The encoder PCB is securely installed into the bottom case with screws.
Simplicity
By removing the side accent, the consistent support from MonsGeek fans allows us to balance costs further and focus on delivering an enthusiast-level keyboard at a reasonable price.
Fully Upgraded Knob
This adjustment is based on user experience and feedback. M1 V5 Series features a new encoder and a levitating structure to avoid scratches against the case, as reported in the previous version.
