The akko x monsgeek v1 tmr keyboard for 75% layout with knob. Cheaper alternative would be mchose mix87 for a more esports look. Can vouch for both of these keebs.
r/PHbuildapc • what’s the best gaming keyboard? ->keychron v1/v3 max, leobog hi75, akko 5075s. My top recommendation would be monsgeek m1w v3 in that price range
r/keyboards • Gaming Keyboard Recommendation ->I’ve got the wooting 80HE with ghost case and it sounds soo much thockier than the 60HE. I’ve also got a monsgeek M1W-HE with Akko cream yellow and it’s pretty darn thocky (for my admittedly basic ears). The wooting software is superior if you’re a hardcore gamer though….
r/keyboards • Looking for hall effect keyboard with creamy / thock sound for gaming ->Monsgeek M1W is generally less expensive than Keychron and just a good. Get a VIA model. VIA is better than the Monsgeek driver.
r/MechanicalKeyboards • /r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - July 20, 2025 ->The Monsgeek is a good keyboard. If you decide on this get a VIA supported model rather than the Monsgeek driver, if available. The switch under the keycap is not the best design, but unless you're going to be switching between modes frequently, worth the sacrifice.
r/MechanicalKeyboards • /r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - July 20, 2025 ->Aula F99. It's a full sized custom keyboard with tri-mode connectivity, feels and sounds miles better than these. And these Razer keyboards are okay but feel awful imo. These Razer/Asus/Logitech keyboards are okay but you pay for the brand. I had Razer, Logitec, Corsair for years, after trying a "custom" keyboard I'm neeever going back. Or you can get a Hall Effect keyboard which are mostly for gamers. Wooting 80HE, Zoom75 HE (Very premium), Monsgeek M1W V3 HE, Keycron Q1 HE. Etc. I have a list on my profile, but haven't updated it recently
r/keyboards • Need help finding a good gaming keyboard for my husband. ->Take a look at the Wooting 80He, Monsgeek M1W HE, Akko year of the dragon HE or Yunzii RT80. Personally I would never buy another Razer keyboard again, their build quality is lacking for the premium you pay and they're non hotswap boards meaning if a switch stops working he can't replace it with an identical one. Edit: all are sub 200 except for tge Wooting with a metal case, plastic one is sub 200. My go to would be the Monsgeek M1W HE.
r/keyboards • Need help finding a good gaming keyboard for my husband. ->There are many many good options. Tbh, for what you want, something like an Aula F75 or Ajazz AK820 Pro is probably going to work just fine. If you want a nice aluminum case though and really high-quality stock switches and keycaps, I would recommend the Monsgeek M1W V3 or M1 V5.
r/keyboards • What TKL mechanical keyboard to 100$ ->I have the v3. Its awesome and very heavy, but the battery life is so bad
r/MechanicalKeyboards • TMR technology enters the world of keyboards in Fun60 from Monsgeek ->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!
r/MechanicalKeyboards • Madlions 68HE flagship/professional review ->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. :)
r/keyboards • Need help finding a good gaming keyboard for my husband. ->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
r/GirlGamers • Show me your gaming keyboards right now! 😠🤭 ->Those are all from gaming or mainstream office equipment companies and they tend to produce overpriced boards because they're not run by keyboard fans. TBH I don't know what Glorious damage is, but I regretted everything I bought from them. Even Microcenter does better (Inland is their house brand). 80%: Zouya GMK87, Monsgeek M3 v3, Keychron V4, because that's basically all the ones I know of with VIA, I really don't do anything over 75%. 75%: Gamakay SN75, Keychron K2 Pro/Max or V1 or V1 Max, Monsgeek M1[W] v3/v5 VIA, Akko 5075S VIA, Inland MK Pro (KB83) and MK Pro v2, YMDK YMD75, KPrepublic ID84 or CSTC75, Womier RD75, Ducky Tinker75, or Shortcut Studio Bridge75. 70%: Keychron V7, Yunzii AL71. Also Woot currently has the Keychron Q7 on special for like 1/3 list. 65%: XVX M67, Yunzii AL68, Keychron V2, Ducky Tinker65. 60%: Skyloong GK61 Pro/DS QMK/VIA, Royal Kludge RK61 QMK/VIA, CIDOO QK61 QMK/VIA. 40%/ortho: Inland MK47, KPRepublic CSTC40, Nuphy RS40, YMDK ID75 TKL/FRL/XT: Daring Run DR-70F
r/keyboards • Recommendations for 65-80% gaming keyboard ->True. Got a monsgeek 35$ HE keyboard and it switches are too light for me and the delay wasn't worth it (8-12ms). I preferred heavy switches and the heavy tactile switches to.
r/FortniteCompetitive • What are the best Hall effect keyboards? ->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.
r/mkindia • Need Suggestions For Mech Keyboard ->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!
r/keyboards • I get to try lots of keyboards ->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
r/keyboards • I get to try lots of keyboards ->my keyboard: monsgeek m1, lubed akko lavender tactile switches, cannonkeys enchanted forest keycaps, ranked lavender keyboard cable (used to be on amazon but i can’t find it anymore), phangkey equilibrium deskmat from drop. monsgeek and akko are based in china, so if you’d like you can buy the keyboard and switches from a us vendor like divinikey. the board is aluminum and very solid. i like it way better than any plastic keyboards i’ve tried; it’s so solid and premium feeling, and i love the bronze (gold? brass? idk) bit on the side. https://preview.redd.it/xqy6sxfxvu4e1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=743ceb2bf3559216308380ede503048a8433b838 (bad old photo)
