My Monsgeek M1W has intermittent 2.4ghz issues where any little thing causes interference even from two feet away. Are there any better options for a 75% aluminum keyboard or barebones kit that HAS a volume knob?

i actually made this same jump from gaming boards last year and honestly the Keychron V1 Max fits what you're looking for. it's hot-swappable with Bluetooth and wired options, TKL layout, and has tons of YouTube reviews to check out. another option would be the Monsgeek M1W which has a cleaner aluminum look with similar connectivity. both should work within your budget and give you that custom feel you want without needing to solder anything.

I have the monsgeek m1w he and its a very good board. Is this one quieter? I wouldn’t call mine quiete but it is a nice sound overall.

I got a monsgeek (Akko) yesterday and it is insane quality. Mine was $130 US but that’s Amore expensive one from them. Highly recommend looking into them instead of those other brands. I think keychron and epokomaker are similar quality too.

Monsgeek M1W is generally less expensive than Keychron and just a good. Get a VIA model. VIA is better than the Monsgeek driver

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.

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.

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.

magnetic keyboards sounds good btw go for HE keyboards with better switches i used akko monsgeek and mad 60 both sound silent and feels good to type i guess u can save 4k and buy a he on also i would recommend AULA F75 which sounds creamy like u mentioned u will definitely love it but its above ur budget which costs 5k. OR -> my best suggestion is just mod ur keyboard it only takes 1k-1.2k thats it.

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.
