PORON Plate Foam
M1W is equipped with PORON plate foam, effectively reducing the noise generated by key switches, ensuring a purer and more comfortable tactile sound experience for the keyboard.
Polycarbonate Plate
M1W utilizes a transparent PC plate to offer flexibility surpassing that of metal, while also reducing low-frequency resonance.
Plate-mounted Stabilizers
M1W barebone utilizes purple plate-mounted stabilizers, which effectively minimizes keycap wobbling. In addition, it also comes with a separate TPU Double-shot stabilizers to cater to the diverse preferences of users.
3mm PORON Case Foam
MonsGeek M1W has undergone an upgrade, transitioning to Poron case foam with superior elasticity compared to M1.
*Disclaimer: Using thicker foam may reduce flex, whether to include it or not is down to your personal preference
VHB Insulation Layer
A VHB insulation layer has been added to the bottom case in order to prevent any short-circuit issues. It’s rare for these issues to occur but we want to add extra protection.
Accessories to Play With
Extra teflon pads included for users who wish to perform a force break mod.
Extra tape for users who wish to perform a tape mod.
MonsGeek includes a 3mm PORON foam for a balanced feeling. Disclaimer: the foam will affect the overall sound profile and flex.
