The Gem 75%

A tri-mode aluminum 75% from the Akko and MonsGeek Gem line. Gasket mount, ball-catch case and VIA, without the Mineral 01's curved frame and weight.

75% VIA Quick release

Our take, based on research

A simpler Mineral 01: same platform, less case styling. Treat it as a good-looking spec sheet rather than a reviewed board.

Overview

Gem 01 is a 75% CNC aluminum board with a gasket mount, ball-catch rapid-disassembly case, an 8,000 mAh tri-mode battery (Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz and USB-C), 5-pin hot-swap sockets, south-facing RGB and VIA with source code, plus Cherry-profile double-shot PBT keycaps and a translucent acrylic corner that syncs with the RGB. MonsGeek's page highlights FR4 as the plate that balances hardness and sound.

Akko's own guide to the Mineral and Gem series says the two share the same mechanical foundation and performance, and differ in styling: the Mineral adds a curved CNC aluminum case and a PVD back weight, the Gem does not and positions itself as the more affordable, simpler design. The Gem 01 is the 75% (the Gem 02 is the 1800 compact).

No independent review of Gem 01 was found, so everything here comes from Akko and MonsGeek. Both list a CNC aluminum case.

Pros & Cons

Strengths
  • CNC aluminum case with gasket mount and a ball-catch quick-release
  • 8,000 mAh tri-mode battery with Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz and USB-C
  • VIA with source code available, and 5-pin hot-swap sockets
  • Cherry-profile double-shot PBT keycaps (maker's spec)
  • Same internals as the Mineral 01 at a simpler, cheaper design (Akko)
What Could Be Better
  • No independent review found
  • No curved frame or PVD back weight, so it is lighter and plainer than the Mineral 01 (Akko)
  • 75% only; the Gem 02 is the numpad version
  • Akko's guide lists only 75% and 1800-compact layouts in the series
  • Acrylic corner lighting is a style choice some may not want

Who Is This For?

Perfect For
  • Buyers who want an aluminum, VIA, wireless 75% without paying for the Mineral's extras
  • People who want to mod easily
  • Typists who want Cherry-profile PBT keycaps
Maybe Not For
  • Anyone who wants the curved case (see the Mineral 01)
  • Gamers wanting magnetic switches
  • Buyers who want reviews before buying
