75% gasket-mount aluminum custom keyboard with a Hall-effect (HE) magnetic-switch PCB and the 'Shine-Print' (SP) special-edition keycap design — the wireless tri-mode (Bluetooth 5.0 / 2.4GHz / USB-C) sibling of the wired M1 HE-SP. Accepts 3-pin Hall-effect magnetic switches as primary fitment; vendor describes the PCB as 'backward compatible with 3-pin mechanical switches' (standard MX 3-pin should physically drop in but lose all HE-specific analog features). Standard MX-style mechanical switches will not exercise the rapid-trigger / customizable actuation features that define the HE PCB. The 'SP' suffix denotes the gradient-effect shine-through PBT double-shot side-printed OEM-profile keycaps that wash south-facing RGB along the key edge for backlight visibility. Ships pre-installed with Akko Cream Yellow V2 Magnetic switches (single switch option across Black / Silver / Purple color variants — Akkogear EU lists Cream Yellow Magnetic exclusively, NOT AstroAim despite some marketing references). HE-specific features include 8K Hz wired-USB-C polling rate (1K Hz on 2.4GHz wireless), Rapid Trigger, Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS), Mod-Tap, Toggle Key, Bottom Deadzone Setting, and N-Key Rollover — all configured exclusively via the proprietary 'MonsGeek Driver' / 'MonsGeek Cloud Driver' software (vendor explicitly redirects QMK/VIA users to the MonsGeek Driver). QMK and VIA are NOT supported on this PCB revision (HE analog firmware is incompatible with VIA's digital keymap model). Built-in 6000 mAh battery powers the wireless modes (Bluetooth supports up to 3 paired devices simultaneously). Includes Akko plate-mount stabilizers (pre-installed), Poron case foam, Poron plate foam, IXPE switch pads, and an optional tape-mod kit (not pre-installed).
