In 2024, Rapid Assembled Keyboards have been gaining popularity in the keyboard community, particularly among beginners who are eager to learn and build their own setups. But what exactly is a Rapid Assembled Keyboard, and what benefits do users gain from using one?

What’s a Rapid Assembled Keyboard?

A Rapid Assembled Keyboard, also known as quick disassembly or quick release, is designed without screws securing the top and bottom cases together. Unlike traditional mechanical keyboards, where you need a screwdriver to disassemble them, Rapid Assembled Keyboards allow users to easily take them apart without tools.

For example, our new M1 V5 is a quick-release mechanical keyboard featuring ball-catch screwless fastening, allowing for screwless assembly between the aluminum top and bottom case.

Traditionally, disassembling keyboards requires special tools and can risk damaging the board, particularly for newcomers to the hobby. The process of removing the casing alone can take over ten minutes, and if further mods like swapping foam or parts are needed, it often requires repeated disassembly. This makes modding inconvenient and discourages many from trying it. Additionally, poor-quality screws can lead to stripped threads, complicating the process even further.

The MonsGeek M1 V5 is a 75% aluminum keyboard with a remappable knob, starting at  $89.99—budget-friendly. It also offers tool-free Rapid Assembly and Disassembly for easy, flexible customization.

It offers multiple options to suit different users—ranging from barebone to pre-built, with layouts available in both ANSI and ISO, and VIA support.

Along with its quick-release feature, the M1 V5 has just launched in a fully assembled White edition. This version features four unique keycap sets—Timeline, Recycling, 1980s, and Prototype—each offering a fresh take on design.
