yo that transitioning from layer to layer you did was so smooth and the best ive seen someone show the layers. i loved the music and the slow mo drop of the switches on the mouse pad to give it the bounce. thanks so much for making this video

In my home country the M1 is very popular and people would usually replace the 2 side gold pieces with acrylic ones and add rgb strips on the side for side glow, would be an interesting mod if you want to look into it.

I experienced double / triple and more key strokes per one press of the key, I thought that maybe switches are faulty so I bought some extra and changed them. But I experienced that even brand new switches have the same issue (I bought already assembled Akko Monsgeek MG108B keyboard)... After randomly bouncing into this video, I found out that in Monsgeek software there is possibility to set latency. I went from +1/10 Sensitivity to +4/10 Sensitivity and so far, no more multiple cliks per keystroke with the same switches!

Thank you very much for mentioning this, since I was thinking that it's just Akko switches that are faulty! I really appreciate this, thank you very much! <3

Dude I’m in awe of the passion the commitment and creativity of all your videos(I just binged watched like 8) and just cannot comprehend how you only have 30kish subs. Hope you gain a large following here and keep the same detailed and passion on future videos. Will continue watching haha

[Apeeksiht]

subbed i liked your extra effort for latency testing

[JimTheSwag]

The quality of your videos and editing is amazing! You deserve a lot more subscribers. I love your content! <3

Классная клавиатура, но будьте аккуратнее, когда устанавливал свичи, случайно оторвал хотсвап порт от платы, пришлось нести в ремонт и под микроскопом припаивать его к плате. Так что рекомендую перед установкой свичей разобрать клавиатуру и проверить, все ли порты на месте, затем аккуратно придерживая каждый порт установить свичи, собрать клавиатуру и одеть кепки. Клава огонь!!!

I've got a Monsgeek M6 as I'm hard stuck in the Alice layout camp, it helps keep my carpal tunnel at bay.

When I see "Cam Shand uploaded" in my notifications, I drop everything I'm doing and watch. Great videos mate.

There's definitely a difference with the Banggood M series boards not being the international version (the QMK versions). However, the QMK versions aren't available for the M1W yet anyway.

I have the m1w and it has an included very sticky thick clear tape, it help the sound

[BradShand]

very nice looking keyboard, i vibe with the key caps

4:09 i struggle to watch lectures cause of adhd. Putting the switches and keys on my last build i was able to focus through a whole 2hr lecture no problem. Was weird.

[sumtingyum]

I just got the M1W because of you, AND heading to Syntrend in Taipei in 2 days!

[raydioz]

Because you're quite technical, have you considered setting up a calibrated microphone and jig that will drop a finger-shaped weight of 49-80 grams to objectively analyze sound? You can use something REW to show the "objective" difference mods make.

personally i feel that ajazz kiwis really need some lubricant to shine, they’re quite harsh and scratchy otherwise

[cuberyllium]

I get hit by a wave of happyness when you upload

I've ordered the Monsgeek M5, and I was wondering the same about the large white tape. I believe it may not be a tape mod, in fact. According to their website, they point to the various components arriving with the keyboard, and as for the tape they state:

VHB Insulation Layer
A VHB 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.

According to their layers of components image, it's supposed to be at the bottom of the case?

Keychron QMKVIA keyboards fix all of the issues you have. i have mine configured so that function+numpad becomes f13-f24.

Nice Review. But you should really use a solid state relay if you want to accurately measure the latency.
