Sound on a build is driven by the combination of keyboard chassis, switches, keycaps and stabilizers rather than this component alone.
For a breakdown of how each piece contributes, see Switches 101 and Stabilizers 101.
Force-curve data applies to switches — see the spec tab for the switch this component is paired with.

TKL (87-key) wireless tri-mode (Bluetooth / 2.4GHz dongle / USB-C wired) keyboard, V3 PCB revision of the MonsGeek M3W chassis. Gasket-mount aluminum case with south-facing per-key RGB. Hotswap PCB compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches. The V3 revision introduces QMK firmware support on the wired-only Barebone variant (sold separately as 'Barebone(QMK Wired)'); pre-built variants ship with Akko switches pre-installed (Akko V3 Piano Pro or Akko V3 Cream Yellow Pro) running MonsGeek's stock firmware in tri-mode wireless configuration. Includes PBT double-shot OEM-profile keycaps (with shine-through legends for the south-facing RGB) and Akko Double-shot TPU plate-mount stabilizers. Polling rate: 1000 Hz on wired/2.4GHz, 125 Hz on Bluetooth. Lifespan rated 50/100 million keystrokes. US-ANSI layout only. Dimensions 335 x 146 x 42 mm; weight ~1.9 kg. Note: the chassis dimensions differ from the V2 baseline (V2 was 366 x 146 x 34 mm) — V3 has a shorter front-to-back footprint and a taller profile, suggesting a redesigned typing wedge. VIA support is NOT advertised on the Akkogear EU listing for M3W V3 (the QMK barebone variant carries 'QMK' in its name but not 'VIA'). Battery capacity is listed as N/A on Akkogear EU (vendor placeholder); verifier should reconfirm against monsgeek.eu / monsgeek.com before publish.
