MonsGeek M3

The M3 is MonsGeek's TKL barebone: a CNC aluminum case with gasket mount, a polycarbonate plate (the page also sells other plates separately), a south-facing 5-pin hot-swap PCB with QMK/VIA, 3 mm custom foam plus an extra sponge case foam, and Akko screw-in stabilizers that ship unassembled. It is wired, and switches and keycaps are not included. MonsGeek says its international version supports QMK/VIA, not its own driver.

The only independent write-up found is a 2023 Korean owner post. It reports a roughly 2 kg weight with no case hollowness, clean internal machining and a tidy gasket setup, and lists the TKL layout and low price as positives. It disliked the larger-than-expected bezels and the keyboard cover's height, and that the domestic version it bought could not be remapped, which does not apply to the QMK/VIA edition sold globally.

The M3 V5 HE is the magnetic, wireless-capable version. This one is for builders who want a plain wired metal TKL.
