MonsGeek M7 VIA DIY Kit
The M7 VIA Barebone features a 68-key layout, including arrow keys, offering a perfect balance of functionality and portability. The compact design ensures high mobility and minimizes desk space requirements. It is aimed at users who value a tidy workspace or need a compact keyboard for on-the-go use.
South facing RGB
The M7's south-facing board avoids interference with Cherry profile keycaps during customization, providing greater compatibility and flexibility.
Customizable RGB
The M7 aluminum barebone can help you type in the dark with a good backlight. It has 20 preset backlight modes.
With MonsGeek Cloud Driver you can easily create and customize your own lighting effects. The driver offers over 16 million unique colors per key as well as adjustable brightness and animation speed.

New silver accent
To add a touch of class and elegance, we chose a beautiful silver accent that you'll fall in love with no matter how you look at it.
Plate-mounted and screw-in stabilizers
The M7 barebone kit is equipped with stabilizers mounted on the plate, effectively reducing keycap shaking. In addition, it includes additional stabilizers that can be mounted or screwed onto the board, thus providing options for users with different preferences.
Stabilizers
Stabilizers mounted/screwed onto the PCB tend to vibrate less. M7 uses Akko transparent white stabilizers (unassembled) with nylon casing in case users want to lubricate.
N-key rollover
N-Key Rollover Technology allows all keys to be used simultaneously, ensuring every keystroke is recorded and preventing ghosting.
PORON foam board
The pre-assembled M7 keyboard is equipped with PORON plate foam, which effectively reduces the noise generated by the key switches and ensures a purer and more comfortable sound experience on the keyboard.
Polycarbonate sheet
M7 utilizes a transparent PC plate to offer flexibility surpassing that of metal, while also reducing low-frequency resonance.
VIA
MonsGeek M7 supports VIA for cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) advanced keyboard configuration.
QMK is expected to be certified in June. For users who want to implement it before the official pull request, the source code will be available in the near future
Do you need more foam?
Monsgeek has developed its own affordable material that works just as well as Poron. The MonsGeek M7 comes with additional foam to reduce case “ping”.
*Disclaimer: Using thicker foam may reduce flexibility, whether you use it or not depends on your personal preference.
