The video above doesnt do this keyboard justice. i have the M1 V3 and its amazing. after just a couple mods so far it sounds top notch. thocky or creamy clack. the stabs that come pre installed are already quite good but may require some tuning. The upgraded knob really does feel upgraded. Its so nice to use. Highly reccomend V3

Totally torn between the wired and wireless versions. Not a fan of QMK, so finally I went with this one. Convenient for switching between multiple devices.

My first mechanical keyboard ever. It’s pretty cool to set up the RGB on the software.

Love this keyboard very much. Its got foam layer no need mod for me. Easy to set up too, a good choice for keyboard beginners.

The software is horrendous. It is not capable of remapping the knob to change layers during on press. You can’t even remap it to the default function other than resetting it. Since it’s not QMK/VIA compatible, you’re stuck with whatever functions the bad software they have. The keyboard itself is nice. The switches, keycaps, stabs, overall build quality I have no complains. It feels heavy and solid. It is said that the knob is upgraded but I find the knob tends to increase/decrease without the full tick. It might just be a faulty knob for mine so look out to this defect. It is very close to my last keyboard if it wasn’t for these downside.

Hello,
thanks for your feedback.
We’re sorry, the knob does not support layer switching at the moment. However, you can use Fn+F9/F10 to switch to layer 1 or 2. Additionally, hold Fn and press the right Alt key to switch between Fn layer 1 and Fn layer.
To remap the knob’s function to the default setting, please click the “reset” button for an easy completion.
The M1W V3 is currently under development. And we’ll also make the MonsGeek Driver customization much more convenient for users.

Very nice keyboard.
Abdallah (verified owner) –
This is a terrible software product, the driver is a shame.
Bluetooth connectivity is super slow to connect or switch to new devices
You will hit wrong fn+w to keep switching between crazy layouts. you can not change that from their software because it is now allowed.
I did think this is via compatible since this is the international version but this is not true!
MonsGeek –
Hello,

The MonsGeek Driver software is scheduled for updates to improve user convenience and experience.
Regarding the M1W V3 Series available for purchase now, please note that the current M1W V3 model is not compatible with VIA, as mentioned on the product page. The VIA-compatible version is still in development and will be released after testing is complete.
Feel free to let us know if you have any suggestions on products or softwares.
Thank you!

Great board overall, and brings anything that you would want to customize. You can take out foam or use everything included, there is no need to go look for and cut foam to put in. A lot of accessories are also included in the package. The only problem was that on my PCB, the FN socket seems to have come broken, the LED will not light up and the socket doesn’t work with any switch I put in.
