Note: The switch is located under the CAPS key
PORON foam board
The M1W is equipped with PORON plate foam, which effectively reduces the noise generated by the key switches and ensures a purer and more pleasant sound experience for the keyboard.
Polycarbonate sheet
The M1W uses a transparent PC plate that offers greater flexibility than metal while reducing resonance at low frequencies.
Plate mounted stabilizers
The M1W Barebone uses purple plate-mounted stabilizers that effectively minimize keycap wobble.
3mm luggage foam
Monsgeek has developed its own affordable material that works just as well as Poron.
*Disclaimer: Using thicker foam may reduce flexibility; Whether you use it or not depends on your personal preferences.
PET insulation layer
The bottom of the case was provided with a PET insulation layer to avoid short circuit problems. While such issues are rare, we want to provide additional protection.
Please note: This keyboard is a barebones keyboard and requires simple assembly. Switches and keycaps (sold separately).
ISO UK's Enter key only supports 3-pin switches, other keys support 5-pin switches.

Customer Reviews
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.
I am very satisfied with the product, but I was surprised when I opened it because it was fully assembled. Please add some description about the product
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
