M3: TKL 87-Key Aluminium DIY Kit

This MonsGeek Tenkeyless keyboard comes with 87 keys, a perfect layout without a number pad to balance size and functionality which helps give more desk space.

Stabilisers

PCB Mount/Screw-in stabilizers tend to vibrate less. M3 uses Akko transparent white stabilizers (un-assembled) with nylon housing in case users want to lubricate.

South-facing PCB

The south-facing PCB of the M3 avoids causing interference with Cherry profile keycaps, offering more compatibility and flexibility.

Customisation RGB

M3 offers approximately 18 preset backlight modes, which allow users to adjust the brightness and flowing speed levels. Moreover, it supports a wide range of RGB effects, with over 16.8 million colors available. Users can also install an upcoming JSON file to access even more lighting effects and configurations.

New Silver Accent

N-key Rollover

The N-Key Rollover technology allows all keys to work simultaneously and ensures every keystroke is recorded and prevents ghosting.

Engraved Back Design

M3 QMK version has adopted the new engraved back design with re-sized sticker for aethestics purposes.

QMK / VIA

MonsGeek M3 supports VIA for cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) advanced keyboard configuration.

Need More Foam?

Monsgeek has developed its own budget custom material that performs equally as well as poron. Meanwhile, MonsGeek M3 comes with an additional sponage case foam to reduce case ping.

Disclaimer: Using thicker foam may reduce flex, whether to include it or not is down to your personal preference.

PET Insulation Layer

A PET 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 MonsGeek want to add extra protection.
