Thank you for going through the effort to make this video as beautifully as you have.

@Late_Night_Unboxing 17 дней назад

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@Late_Night_Unboxing Месяц назад

Curious to know what you think about the removal of the accent piece? Which is probably the most significant difference between the M1W and the new M1 V3. Do you prefer the accent piece or the minimalist look?

@lornelorne5727 24 дня назад

Looks really plain and boring without the accent.

@minhquanvu2944 День назад

It looks like a 40$ board from an offbrand oem. The floating knob looks so cheap. Overall a downgrade.

@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken Месяц назад

I for one am sorry to see that Monsgeek did away with the side accents, that was one feature that made the past boards stand out a bit. I´m glad to see that the PCB doesn´t have flex cuts. I like to go foam-less in my alu boards for a more clacky sound profile.

@Late_Night_Unboxing Месяц назад

Curious to see if they will be making the "v3 change" to other boards as well in the future.

@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken Месяц назад

@@Late_Night_Unboxing Do you mean the removal of the side accents? I would hate to see that happen, but they probably will to keep things consistent. Monsgeek had said that they were going to make the side accents available in other colors. Too bad they went back on their word and decided just to remove them. I think that now, it looks kinda boring to be honest.

@Late_Night_Unboxing 26 дней назад

@@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken I agree that they probably will remove the side accents for other keyboards. Side accents with other colors would be really cool though. Too bad it never happened.

@imlegend8108 18 дней назад

Lol when I look at the shop they still have the purple stabilizers. The only one I found with black stabs was the one on the Monsgeek US store. Everything in either Akko DE, EU or Monsgeek EU still has the purple ones despite it being literally the same model. Monsgeek M1 V3 QMK, VIA or M1W V3. Despite that making pretty much zero sense in the first place what would even be the differences? Also the spec sheet where you can look up the differences between the newer and older models obv only talks about the international version.

@Late_Night_Unboxing 18 дней назад

They have a comparison of all the M1 variants on their FAQ page.

@banefury 19 дней назад

i actually prefer the no accent design. i ordered one today!

@misadvencherus Месяц назад

What do you use the knob on the keyboard for? I've seen it on other keyboard but don't know what it's used for

@Late_Night_Unboxing 29 дней назад

By default, it toggles between RGB brightness and volume control.

Latency?

@BertwinStaAna 7 дней назад

I've got this keyboard for almost a month now. I came from Corsair K70 Lux - Cherry MX Red and was bought around 2017. I can definitely say that the sound is very satisfying compared to what I used for the last 7 years or so. The stock is already great but I have been thinking to use the included Tape for the Tape Mod and Teflon Pads for the Force Break Mod, should I do it?

@Late_Night_Unboxing 7 дней назад

Sure, you can give it a try. It's easily reversible if you don't like it. The force break mod won't make a huge difference, but the tape mod will have a much more prominent effect. Personally I think the included "tape" sheet is not that convenient as you'd need to cut out the holes for the battery yourself. I prefer masking tape. You can check out my M7 mod video if you're interested.

@BertwinStaAna 6 дней назад

@@Late_Night_Unboxing Thank you so much for the reply. I watched that M7 Mod vid and decided now that I am going to use masking/painters tape for the Tape Mod and will decide whether I will go for the Force Break Mod (since I will be opening the keyboard anyways).

@thetrashman5258 28 дней назад

well I got this for like 2 weeks ago and I wet the whole board yesterday (hangover) and after a day I just assembled my whole m1wv3 and works still fine, do be careful tho there are excess lube on the pcb which can be taken off easily with alcohol. I love my board already since it sounds pretty clacky with the Gateron Milky Red Pros I got.

@Late_Night_Unboxing 28 дней назад

Glad it turned out fine! There was a bit of excess lube on mine as well which was probably from the stabs.

@thetrashman5258 27 дней назад

@@Late_Night_Unboxing oh yea I'd like to tell you the difference of mine vs yours, mine came with the purple stabs and did not include a coiled cable and a screw in stabs set which was a bummer coz I wanna try using it

@deulgi6819 26 дней назад

Hey bro i just got this keeb, everything is good, but when i am on wire mode there is i believe a charging indicator with big red light at the spacebar is there like a way to disable that? Please

@Late_Night_Unboxing 26 дней назад

Hi. The charging indicator works independently to the RGBs and cannot be turned off. However, if you only plan to use it wired, you can unplug the battery and the charging light won't light up even when you're using it wired.

@Late_Night_Unboxing 26 дней назад

Or maybe you can cover the LED and put a piece of electrical tape on the PCB.

@joshm264 Месяц назад

Would you say the switch to spray coating is a dealbreaker? Considering getting an M1

@Late_Night_Unboxing Месяц назад

For me, I’m fine with the spray coating. But in theory, anodizing should be a more durable finish if the keyboard gets banged around a lot. Personally I much prefer the minimalistic look on the v3 compared to the m1 with side accents.

@thetrashman5258 28 дней назад

well the aluminum is die casted compared to the older versions which are cnc

@joshm264 28 дней назад

@@thetrashman5258 their own website says it's still CNC so

Is the PCB and the built-in chip exactly the same as in the previous version?

Not sure about that. I don't have the old M1 to compare.

How to change the mode from wired to wireless?

You have to pull the caps lock keycap off and switch to wireless mode. Then connect to the 2.4ghz dongle or a Bluetooth device.

The RGBs work alright. It might be the frame rate of the video, causing to look faulty.

$80 ain't cheap

@habrakhamage Месяц назад

a few years ago for a thoccy keyboard like that the prices ranged from 150 to 300 bucks and most hot swappable keyboards for enthusiasts are above that price so it kinda is

@Late_Night_Unboxing Месяц назад

It’s relatively budget friendly in the world of aluminum keyboards.
