MonsGeek - M1W

https://preview.redd.it/ayn5cpy1nete1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0919e9802ba960961e92b654aefeeb0f35c110fb I have three but this is easily my fav, monsgeek m1w with gateron yellow switches and epbt hellas keycaps. I adore this keyboard. But! I also have a epomaker ek68 in black with haimu heartbeat switches and it is extremely comfy to game on for long periods. I swap these 2 out regularly and enjoy gaming on both

Can you guys suggest me, what should i get? **A standard Mad68 RGB Version (Magnetic Axis Pro Switch)** or **Mad68 Pro?** I saw the chart and already compared the specs. But couldn't decide what to go for. The thing is Non-Pro one is instock in my Country and for the Pro I have to wait. Also for some crisis in my country the price of Non-Pro is **200$** and Pro is **300$** in our currency. As for me I'm using **Monsgeek M1W** Custom keyboard for competition game, in the name of Faker, I only play League of Legends. I know you guys will question me like why are u even considering HE for LoL? Its not even that noticeable in moba...etc. I respect your opinions but for me I kinda feels like my M1W is having input delays. Thanks!

Best if you get a barebones keyboard and build it with the switches and keycaps you want. I would reccoment something like the Monsgeek m1 v3 or the Lemokey p1 pro. For silent switches I guess would be akko fairy or penguin silent. For keycaps choose whatever you think is best. You can always get a pre built keyboard but I always find making one yourself is also better. Plus I think you husband would appreciate this more. :)

Lucky65v2 you may get it for \~5.7k shipped (approx) a new one, talk to nexuspc or post WTB on imkc. Also, keebsmod at 6.2k and 6k for new users. I started with keychron k2 Pro(new, still own) and didn't like 75% much. Could not find any use of the Function row. Got Monsgeek M1 (sold), to big for my desk and heavy board. (Consider heavy board only if you are not carrying it). Then brought Zoom65v3 (used), remapped all media keys; compact and multiple mounting options.

I actually have reviewed the mongsgeek m1. It’s a wonderful keyboard and required a bit of modding to get the sound right. I’ll check into the others!

Just so you know. You don’t need to buy a whole New keyboard to get the sound you want. Switches really do most of the work here. I personally don’t like tactile but if you search around there will be some recommendations. Just swap them out on your keyboard and toss those reds in the trash

It typically costs over $200, though, for a board that's no better than a Monsgeek little more than half the price.

I think most of these are terrible recommendations. Why would you suggest random amazon boards in 2025 when boards like QK Neo or Cycle7/8 exist? I think monsgeek is fine but all the other boards you listed are kinda sus imo.
