monsgeek m1 v5
I had a keycap set laying around, so it was time to build another keyboard.
- Base: Monsgeek M1 V5 Moonlight White
- Switches: Akko Penguin silent tactile
- Keycap set: KAT Napoleonic Hungarian & South Slavic (Doppelkaiser)
- Weight: 1860g
This time I took the barebone version of MonsGeek M1 V5 as base - in Moonlight White color. Lovely.
For the switches I first decided to go with Akko x MonsGeek Green Fog switches, but this is an office build and it was to loud emitting a funky "thock" that was not appreciated by coworkers, so I switched for Akko Penguin silent tactile switches - they have a very enjoyable tactile typing feel, which compared to the linear Green Fogs, I now prefer. For future builds I will be buying tactile switches again for sure.
The keycap set is KAT Napoleonic - Hungarian & South Slavic version also called Doppelkaiser (after Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor). I love the color scheme that fits so nicely on white base, for sure better than going with a black base.
I'm including a photo of the original Monsgeek M1 V5 user manual in English in case anyone ever needs: Download
