MonsGeek M1 DIY Kit
Exceptional custom keyboard kit
Value
MonsGeek strictly manages to reduce unnecessary costs through its advanced supply chain to deliver the best value for users.
Flexibility
MonsGeek comes with a PC plate as standard and offers other plates separately. We also offer additional tape and teflon pads for potential mod.
Accessibility
M1 will be available directly, through our partners and from other mainstream shopping platforms as accessibility is our ultimate goal.
Stabilizers
PCB Mount/Screw-in stabilizers tend to vibrate less. M1 custom keyboard kit uses Akko stabilizers (un-assembled) with nylon housing in case users want to lubricate.
South-facing PCB
The south-facing PCB of the M1 custom keyboard kit avoids causing interference with Cherry profile keycaps, offering more compatibility and flexibility.
Programmable Knob
Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the premium rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keysand macros on the knob through the VIA/QMK software.
Golden Accent
Adding a touch of class and elegance, we opted to add a beautiful golden accent so that no matter which way you look at it, you’ll fall in love over and over again.
QMK / VIA Support
MonsGeek M1 custom keyboard kit supports VIA for cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) advanced keyboard configuration.
This feature is exclusively for international version of M1.
3mm Case Foam
Monsgeek has developed its own budget custom material that performs equally as well as poron.
*Disclaimer: Using thicker foam may reduce flex, whether to include it or not is down to your personal preference
PET Insulation Layer
A PET 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.
Please note: This keyboard is a barebones keyboard and requires simple assembly. Switches and keycaps (sold separately).
The enter key of ISO UK only support 3-pin switches, other keys support 5-pin switches

Good website, good material, works very well.
Keyboard is heavy and with silent switchs is so quiet !
But, please Akko, for orders to France you should avoid using the Cainaio carrier which is very bad for us.
Going through “La Poste” is the best solution.
About my two packages, the one from La Poste arrived quickly and the one from Cainaio remained in the depot for more than a week. And I was lucky because Cainaio France has hundreds of disputes concerning package theft.
Ich bin unglaublich glücklich mit der Tastatur! Sie ist zwar verdammt schwer mit fully assembled über 2kg, aber dafür steht sie an Ort und Stelle, da verrutscht nichts. Nutze sie mit Akko Fairy Silent Switches und GPBT ISO-DE Keycaps und bin absolut begeistert. Die Switches sind Stock im Einsatz, sie sind aber pre-lubed und butterweich. Damit kann keine Pre-Build Tastatur mithalten.
Die LEDs scheinen auch mit nicht transparentem Switchgehäuse sehr gut und m.M.n. vollkommen ausreichend.
Leider ist die Farbe des Cases schlecht auf einem Foto festzuhalten, aber sie sieht in Natura unfassbar geil und **** aus!
Nutze sie derzeit mit allen mitgelieferten Mods, jedoch ist ein Force Break Mod in jedem Fall von Nöten, aber dafür werden ja Silikonpads mitgeliefert, die ich jedem rate zu nutzen.
Ich bedanke mich auch für die unfassbar schnelle Lieferung, innerhalb von 7 Tagen nach Bestellung war sie bei mir - MERCI!
Nothing more than amazing.
Was fun to build as a first time project!
The m1 was my first aluminium based build and I took advantage of Akko's sale which included 2 packs of switches with the board. I opted for the lavender pros after loving the way that the cream blues sounded on my last board, the epomaker magic cat.
This board is solid, it offers plenty of options for mods within the kit itself as well as leaving room for additional mods to suit your preferences. It is less flexible than other typing experiences on plastic based boards i've had in the past but the lavender pros with the tape mod and force break mods allow for a poppy tactile sound which is super satisfying. I would suggest that the stabilisers need work from stock and would recommend filming to remove some small pings and wobbles but this is minor.
Again very happy with the quality of this build and it takes very little work to sound great right out of the box on a budget. My partner has the GMMK pro and was devastated to see the quality I got with the M1 at a fraction of the price. Plus the purple is super cute.
Nice quality and just amazing in general.
