MonsGeek Gem 02

Gem 02 is the 1800-compact (98-key) version of the Gem line. MonsGeek and Akko list a CNC aluminum case, gasket mount, ball-catch rapid disassembly, Cherry-profile double-shot PBT keycaps, a translucent acrylic corner with synchronized RGB, tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz, USB-C), an 8,000 mAh battery, 5-pin hot-swap sockets and VIA with source code. Akko describes it as the more affordable alternative to the Mineral 02, for people who value productivity and prefer a simpler design.

Akko's series guide says the Mineral and Gem models share the same mechanical base and performance. The Gem leaves out the curved CNC case and the PVD back weight that define the Mineral. No independent review of Gem 02 was found.

Among MonsGeek's numpad boards it is the VIA, tri-mode option that sits next to the M2 V5 VIA, which has a different case design and a piano-key styling.
