Sound on a build is driven by the combination of keyboard chassis, switches, keycaps and stabilizers rather than this component alone.

Force-curve data applies to switches — see the spec tab for the switch this component is paired with.

75% (82-key) gasket-mount aluminum custom keyboard with the V3 Hall-effect (HE) magnetic-switch PCB and the 'SP' (Shine-Print) PBT shine-through keycap design — this is the newest-generation HE-SP variant of the M1W wireless line, distinct from the V2-era M1W HE-SP sibling (different polling rate, different battery, different PCB firmware). The PCB has proprietary HE-only sockets; standard MX-style 5-pin mechanical switches will NOT fit, only 3-pin HE-stem magnetic switches and 3-pin MX switches per body copy ('magnetic switches and is also backward compatible with 3-pin mechanical switches'). Ships pre-installed with Akko Cream Yellow Magnetic switches (single switch option across all 6 variants). HE-specific features (Rapid Trigger, Dynamic Keystrokes, Mod-Tap, Toggle Key, Bottom Deadzone Setting) are configured exclusively via the proprietary 'MonsGeek Driver' (also known as the MonsGeek Cloud Driver). QMK and VIA are NOT supported on this PCB revision — HE analog firmware is incompatible with VIA's digital keymap model. Tri-mode wireless connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 (with 3-device pairing memory), 2.4 GHz dongle, and USB-C wired. Polling rate 8000 Hz on wired USB-C and 1000 Hz on 2.4 GHz wireless (Bluetooth polling not stated). Battery 6000 mAh. South-facing per-key RGB. Includes PBT double-shot side-printed gradient shine-through OEM-profile keycaps and pre-installed plate-mount stabilizers. Available in 5 colorways (Dark Night, Horizon Blue, Lilac Purple, Moonlight White, Black & Silver) with US-ANSI on all and ISO available on Dark Night and Black & Silver. The Black & Silver colorway diverges from the other variants: it ships with Cherry-profile keycaps (instead of OEM) and standard double-shot legends (instead of gradient shine-through side-printed).
