MONSGEEK M1W V3 HE Gaming Keyboard Magnetic Switch Rapid Trigger Mechanical Keyboard Bluetooth 2.4GHz Wired Gasket Mount RGB Aluminum Keyboard for Mac/Win (Horizon Blue Creamy Yellow Magnetic Switch)

This keyboard is half the price of other keyboards but it offers all the same features. This is my first mechanical keyboard after only buying Logitech keyboards. This keyboard is heavy. It would hurt someone or something if you throw it. The keys feel like marble. The key sound is beautiful and are not too loud. The software works well enough and per key RGB is nice. Wish it was OS agnostic as a Linux user. This keyboard does report as 1000hz on wireless. The magnetic switches are fun to play with. I had to relearn how to type and game as I learned I would "lean" on keys like the D key and this causes the key to register as pressed in these switches. I actually like that I have to relearn.Negatives: Legend visibility is erratic. Some keys shine through well and others are very hard to see. I have the black model with front facing keys.I had to return my first one. The first would go to sleep and not wake up without disconnecting the wireless dongle. The second one has worked well as a wireless keyboard.Overall for the price it is an amazing keyboard and I would recommend it for the office or for gaming. Monsgeek support will also actually reply to your emails.

First Impression,Build and Feel:Probably the nicest hall effects switches for the price, not too loud, very milky sound and nice actuation. Im no typist, but I feel I can type a bit better with this than my usuall goto Linear Reds vs this (Cream Yellow Switches). Full build Aluminum CNC gives it nice heft and sound profile. Personally, not a fan of the textured feel of the coating, but it does make it easier to handle and move around. Keyboard is not adjustable, but it is angled just right for my liking paired with a nice wrist rest. Keycaps are okay with uneven shine through, but you can always change those out.Performance and Features:Main reason why I purchased this is that I wanted an 8K wired polling rate, hall effect all aluminum keyboard with Bluetooth and 2.4ghz. While gaming in wired is preferred, being able to use it wirelessly is a plus. You have 2 ways to program this keyboard, you can use the windows app "moonsgeek driver" which allows for easy firmware update and programming of the keyboard or use a web based program called "qmk.top" which works fine for the short period I've tried it.This is my first impression and will return for a better in depth review. But if you're looking for HE keyboard with tri mode features and all metal construction, this one is pretty good option.

It's a great price for the features: tri connection, hall effect switches, aluminum body. It's quite capable. The sound and build quality are great. At this price, it's extremely hard to beat.The software is a bit lacking. It's not horrid but it could use some work. The shortcuts are also not the most intuitive. fn+e/r/t/y/u are the connectivity options (a little odd). The profiles are limited to 4, but 3 of them are default meaning you can only have 1 custom configuration? The profiles also don't seem to be configurable via RGB meaning you don't know which profile is active. The layers option also can't have custom RGB so you have no indication you're using a different layer.The Mac/ Window / Window with Battery switch is under the Caps lock Key and is not accessible without removing the key itself. I find this quite annoying. I wish there would be a auto switch to mac mode when connected to mac. My Epomaker seems to do this and does not require a physical toggle switch to make it work. This switch is also the "off" switch for the battery, again quite inconvenient. You essentially have to keep a keycap puller with you. But this keyboard doesn't contain storage for a keycap puller (nor the USB dongle)I have an issue with keys double clicking.. I think I might be typing too fast for this keyboard possibly sometimes? Maybe I'm hitting them too hard? I'm still working to diagnose this down.This keyboard hit's a lot of premium features that no one else have at this price point. But it also lacks in some areas that I think could and should have been revised by the time a V3 came out.

Feels high quality, and has good weight to it thanks to the aluminum case. Performs well, tested with Keyboard Inspector and it does report 8000hz polling rate.Hot swapped it with Raeds HE switches, which is compatible and works great when setting the switch setting to Jade.No issues, likely my endgame keyboard. At $139 it gives a lot, and I love that it works with both HE or mechanical switches. Still not sure the benefits of TMR sensors, but sounds like a plus too.
