75% 82-key Aluminum mechanical keyboard kit with Knob
This 75% 82-key keyboard barebone is the smallest users can get while retaining a dedicated function row and other handy but less-frequently used keys. And it is a great option for anyone who wants a more space-efficient, portable, and efficient keyboard layout, without sacrificing functionality or customization options.
Built-in 6000mAh Battery
With a high-capacity battery of around 6000mAh, users can enjoy prolonged periods of uninterrupted typing, gaming, or productivity without the need for constant recharging.
Upgraded Renovated Encoder
The encoder has been upgraded with changes in its height and the plastic inside the knob, resulting in a more stable structure.
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.
South-facing PCB
The south-facing PCB of the M1W mechanical keyboard kit avoids causing interference with Cherry profile keycaps, offering more compatibility and flexibility.
RGB Backlit
M1W mechanical keyboard kit can help you type in the dark with decent backlit. It has over 20 preset backlighting modes.
You can easily create and tailor your own lighting effects with the MonsGeek Cloud Driver, which offers over 16 million unique colors per key, as well as adjustable brightness and animation speed level.
The key/lighting effects customization can be programmed by MonsGeek driver in all three modes.In all three modes, the lighting effects can also achieve audio visualizer effects with MonsGeek driver.

Plate-mounted Stabilizers
M1W barebone utilizes purple plate-mounted stabilizers, which effectively minimizes keycap wobbling.
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.
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.

Customer Reviews
Ordered a M1W with Piano Pro V3 switches.
The keyboard is heavy which I like very much.
Combination of the board and switches is very nice and I like the sound.
Only little thing is that there should have come a switch and keycap puller even with the DYI (Luckily I had one).
This is the first mechanical keyboard i put together myself and i am completely amazed by the quality provided. I got what i wanted and more. Thank you
I bought M1W mod barebone, V3 piano switches and Wave keycaps!! Building all up was super fast and the result is magnificent!! I love it!
Szczerze mówiąc nie jest to mój pierwszy custom jednakże nie umiałbym się aktualnie przerzucić na jakaś firmową klawiaturę typu RAZER lub SteelSeries .
Idealny dźwięk wytrzymała obudowa i do tego dobrej jakości stabilizatory
Zamówiłem aktualnie do tego nowe switche oraz keycapy alei tak już wygląda moim zdaniem obrze a będzie tylko lepiej
I am a budget keyboard enthusiast and ever since M1 released, I knew I'd get it one day as my first budget aluminium keyboard, and then M1W released. I ordered it and added the free POM plate.
I placed the order on Nov 8 and received the keyboard on Nov 17. Considering it found its way to me in Easter Europe all the way from China, the shipping time was quicker than I expected.
I used the POM plate, left all foams, put lubed Akko CS Lavender Purples and CandyShop keycaps I had from an earlier build. The result was great! Somewhat low-pitched and creamy, and a bit muted sound - which exactly what I wanted.
My only (minor) gripes:
- the case ping which resolves itself using the included teflon pads;
- warped spacebar wire in the included TPU stabilizers. Although I was surprised that the additional stabs kit was not screw-in, but another clip-in stabs (my fault for not reading through the included items but I thought it'd have the same screw-in stabs as M1). The pre-installed stabs were lubed generously and I left them for all non-spacebar keys, while I used the addtional Akko TPU stab for the spacebar, which I needed to straighten out the wire for. Afterwards it was okay;
- perhaps the biggest annoyance: the red LED under spacebar was constantly shining red. It means that the batteries are charging but even after leaving it to charge for hours, the LED still was glowing red (I even updated the kb using Akko's software). Since I don't use the wireless option, I simply unplugged the battery connector from the PCB and left it like that.
Another minor issue is a very general one which has been addressed in numerous review videos is that the 2.4 GHz dongle doesn't have a compartment inside the keyboard: you either have it plugged it in the computer, or you have it stowed away in your keyboard box. Not ideal if anyone wants to carry around this keyboard and use it wirelessly.
Still rating it 5-stars as the issues were minor. I think it is a great kit for the money and has a lot of additional stuff included to mod it the way you want.
