Mons Geek M2 DIY Kit

M2 is a 1800 compact QMK and south-facing aluminum barebone keyboard.

1800 compact layout are efficient, and ideal for users who want to maintain the full-size of the keyboard while saving desk space.

Note: M2 requires 2 x 1.5u function keys (ALT/FN) at R1. It is compatible with Akko MDA / SAL profile keycaps. Given M2 intl' version is QMK programmable, users can literally program any key; Hence, any keycap sets with alternate 1.5u R1 keys are theoretically compatible with M2 such as Marrs Green, World Tour Tokyo Cherry Profile etc.

Disclaimer: we do NOT sell domestic non-QMK version on global store. All M series model you see are international version exclusive.

1800 compact layout offers essential function keys and the number pad from full-size while minimizing desk usage.

Gasket Mounted Style

With the Gasket-mounted structure, the isolation between the plate and the case gives a unique sound and feel compared to other mounting styles.

South facing PCB

The south-facing PCB of the M2 avoids causing interference with Cherry profile keycaps, offering more compatibility and flexibility.

New Silver Accent

While M2 silver comes with golden accent, MonsGeek has picked the new silver accent on other models. MonsGeek will start to offer standalone accent for sale to better personalize each unit based on user preference.

N key rollover

The N-Key Rollover technology allows all keys to work simultaneously and ensures every keystroke is recorded and prevents ghosting.

Engraved Back Design

M2 QMK version has adopted the new engraved back design with re-sized sticker for aesthetics purposes.

Stabilizers

PCB Mount/Screw-in stabilizers tend to vibrate less. M2 uses Akko transparent white stabilizers (un-assembled) with nylon housing in case users want to lubricate.

QMK / VIA

MonsGeek M2 supports VIA for cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) advanced keyboard configuration.

This feature is exclusively for international version of M2.

PET Insulation Layer

A PET insulation layer has been added to the bottom case in order to prevent any short circuit issues. It's rare for these issues to occur but we want to add extra protection.

-Extra teflon pads included for users who wish to perform a force break mod.

-Extra tape for users who wish to perform a tape mod.

-MonsGeek includes a default 3mm custom-made foam for a balanced feeling. Disclaimer: the foam will affect the overall sound profile and flex.

Need More Foam?

Monsgeek has developed its own budget custom material that performs equally as well as poron. Meanwhile, MonsGeek M2 comes with an additional sponage case foam to reduce case ping.

*Disclaimer: Using thicker foam may reduce flex, whether to include it or not is down to your personal preference.

KEYBOARD

1. Does the keyboard or keycap set sold come with a key puller?

All keyboards sold on our website come with a keycap puller. However, we cannot guarantee what type of keycap puller you will receive as it may vary from batch to batch. The neon keycap set has a key puller.

The R2 full keycap set may not have one depending on the batch.

Note: Only the Akko R2 fancy keycap set comes with the dedicated cat's paw key puller.

2. How can I tell if the keyboard is Bluetooth, wired, or wireless?

You can check this on our website in the product listing. It is displayed on the relevant product detail page under the "Specifications" tab. For example, the Akko 3084-One Piece Chopper is a wired keyboard. It uses a USB-C interface.

3. Difference between Nordic and Beken solution for Akko multi-mode keyboards.

4.Which LED bulbs should I choose if I want to equip my Akko mechanical keyboards with LEDs?

Some of our models do not have the LEDs installed by default. For these keyboards it is possible to install LEDs to take advantage of the backlight.

We recommend using the following two types of LED lamps (diodes):

1. 3mm round led bulbs
2. 2 x 3 x 4mm square head led diodes.

Acceptable specifications:

Voltage: 1.8-3.6V;

Current: Less than 500mA.

Note that you can only choose single color LED diodes. If you choose RGB LED diodes, it will only emit red colors.
