| Pros , different | Full-size 108 keys with a three-position tilt stand Double-shot PBT ASA-profile keycaps and 20+ lighting modes (maker) Akko V3 Cream switches in linear or tactile 1.15 kg, light enough to move around (maker) MG108B reviewer found it surprisingly high quality for the price | Full 108-key aluminum case with gasket mount USB-C, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth with a 6,000 mAh battery (maker) Pre-lubed stabilizers that did not rattle for the GeekHack reviewer Individually addressable RGB and macros through MonsGeek's software 5-pin hot-swap sockets |
| Cons , different | Base MG108 is not hot-swappable, so the switches cannot be changed Wired only for the base model Plastic case; the MG108B reviewer wanted more sound damping Buyers on WhatGeek mention a hollow spacebar The MG108 name covers several variants with different prices and features | MonsGeek lists it as discontinued Mode switch is under the caps key (maker page, GeekHack reviewer) No QMK/VIA support Acrylic plate; the reviewer wanted metal and found keys seat loosely (GeekHack) Very heavy, about 2.5 kg barebone |
| Research take , different | A cheap, plastic full-size that does the basics, with the base model fixed to its switches. Check the exact variant before buying. | A heavy, well-built wireless full-size that MonsGeek no longer sells. The evidence is the maker's page plus one forum review. |
