| Good for , different | First-time builders who want a metal 65% to learn on VIA users who want to remap without installing software Desk setups that stay wired | Buyers who want a small wireless aluminum kit to build People who connect to several devices Desk users who want a heavy, quiet-feeling case |
| Skip if , different | Anyone who wants wireless (see the M7W) Buyers who want an Alice layout (see the M6) People who want a finished board out of the box | VIA users who want open remapping Anyone who wants a finished keyboard Buyers who want a low-profile or travel keyboard |
| Pros , different | Aluminum 65% case with gasket mount and a polycarbonate plate VIA support for remapping and RGB Plate-mounted stabilizers fitted, plus a spare screw-in set Poron plate foam and extra case foam in the box 5-pin hot-swap sockets that also accept 3-pin switches | Three connection modes: USB-C, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth for up to three devices 5,000 mAh built-in battery Aluminum gasket case with polycarbonate plate and Poron foam Plate-mounted POM stabilizers and 5-pin hot-swap sockets Per-key lighting and key assignment through MonsGeek's cloud driver |
| Cons , different | Wired only Barebone: switches and keycaps are separate No independent review of this exact model found QMK certification was still pending at the time MonsGeek wrote the page Heavy aluminum build, not a travel board | Weighs as much as a wired aluminum kit, so it is not a travel board despite the wireless Mode switch is under the caps key, so changing mode means removing a keycap No VIA on this version Only light independent evidence found (a short Korean blog review) Barebone: switches and keycaps are separate |
| Research take , different | A straightforward aluminum 65% kit for VIA users. Evidence is limited to the maker's page and a review of its Alice sibling. | A wireless aluminum 65% kit with sparse independent reviews. Good if you want the M7 without a cable; look at the M7 if you want VIA instead. |
