3. Aluminum Case: A combination of texture and durability

Monsgeek M series products are made of an aluminum case, which not only gives the keyboard sturdy durability but also brings excellent texture and touch.

The design of the aluminum case not only improves the overall grade of the keyboard but also effectively reduces resonance, further improving the feel experience when typing and playing games.

4. Tri-mode Connection: Flexible adaptation to a variety of scenarios

The M1 V5 series keyboard supports tri-mode connection, including wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless connection.

USB interfaces provide the stability, and the wireless mode provides the portability. You can always have a great solution for the different scenarios. 

5. 8000mAh Battery: Long-lasting battery life

For the wireless mode, there is a built-in 8000mAh battery for the M1 V5 series keyboard. Whether it is long-term office or continuous gaming, users do not need to charge frequently, which greatly improves the convenience of use.

6. Gasket Mount: Excellent sound and feel

The M1 V5 series takes the gasket mount, which reduces the resonance and provides a softer and more consistent typing sound and feel, making every tap more pleasant to the ear.
