    yo that transitioning from layer to layer you did was so smooth and the best ive seen someone show the layers. i loved the music and the slow mo drop of the switches on the mouse pad to give it the bounce. thanks so much for making this video

      thanks man, the layer transition is my signature move 😉 haha, haven't seen another keyboard review do it before.
      And yeah there was actually one switch on the right of frame that landed perfectly on it's spring, did a flip and landed again! Was super cool.

    In my home country the M1 is very popular and people would usually replace the 2 side gold pieces with acrylic ones and add rgb strips on the side for side glow, would be an interesting mod if you want to look into it.

      Would you recommend the Monskey M7W Barebones 68% (Hotswap Bluetooth 5.0/2.4ghz wireless Dongle/Wired USB-C) 5000mah Internal battery
      OR
      The Lemokey L3 (The newer gaming division of Keychron keyboard's version of the Keychron Q3), but with Cherry profile keycaps and a few more features like 1000hz polling rate when used in wired mode. The Lemokey L3 uses the same Bluetooth/2.4ghz wireless Dongle/USB-C wired options...but also has a southpaw 4 key vertical macro key column as well as a Rotary knob/volume knob that also doubles as a push to mute button.vertical macro key column as well as a Rotary knob/volume knob that also doubles as a push to mute button.
      Which one would you recommend based on your experiences with Monskey, and probably Keychron as well....as I have nothing to go on since I've mostly built my other keyboards from scratch using a variety of different companies and brands to build them....but lately I've been wanting a secondary keyboard that has a Hotswap PCB and ability to customize keys using VIA/VIAL etc, as well as the main part which is having a nice large internal battery for using it with Bluetooth / 2.4ghz dongle for the Xbox One/ and of course the USB-C wired/charging option.
      Thanks!

    There's definitely a difference with the Banggood M series boards not being the international version (the QMK versions). However, the QMK versions aren't available for the M1W yet anyway.

    The included Force Brake Mod and the included tape mod arent mentioned because the people instantly open the keyboard and use them as intended but dont know if they open the keyboard the warrenty is gone. Just some simple marketing. Like your vids!

    Because you're quite technical, have you considered setting up a calibrated microphone and jig that will drop a finger-shaped weight of 49-80 grams to objectively analyze sound? You can use something REW to show the "objective" difference mods make.

    Классная клавиатура, но будьте аккуратнее, когда устанавливал свичи, случайно оторвал хотсвап порт от платы, пришлось нести в ремонт и под микроскопом припаивать его к плате. Так что рекомендую перед установкой свичей разобрать клавиатуру и проверить, все ли порты на месте, затем аккуратно придерживая каждый порт установить свичи, собрать клавиатуру и одеть кепки. Клава огонь!!!

  • @b1zzler

    2ms latency penalty for 2.4ghz wireless isn't bad at all. I remember when LCD display latency was around 50ms and complaining about it was considered a skill issue 😂

    • @camshand
      @camshand  Місяць тому +1

      haha yeah it's not a huge impact when factored into total system latency. But some want to minimise everywhere.
      I remember reading somewhere that a top tier gaming mice was faster wireless than when wired. I just saw Logitech released a new gaming keyboard, so wonder if it'll be the case there

  • @ishay3000

    I've ordered the Monsgeek M5, and I was wondering the same about the large white tape. I believe it may not be a tape mod, in fact. According to their website, they point to the various components arriving with the keyboard, and as for the tape they state:
    VHB Insulation Layer
    A VHB insulation layer has been added to the bottom case in order to prevent any short-circuit issues. It’s rare for these issues to occur but we want to add extra protection.
    According to their layers of components image, it's supposed to be at the bottom of the case?

    • @camshand
      @camshand  Місяць тому

      I believe that the VHB layer is pre-applied, it's almost 1mm thick transparent sheet of plastic adhered to the thick poron foam base layer.
      After looking at some other reviews since posting others have also mentioned the white tape as being for a tape mod under the PCB 👍

    • @ishay3000
      @ishay3000 Місяць тому

      @@camshand Ah, you could be right. It says under the "Accessories to play with" section: Extra tape for users who wish to perform a tape mod.
      And also at the specs at the bottom: Tape Y (not pre-installed)
      Btw, as someone who's never had a custom kb and is awaiting for the delivery in order to assemble it - should I use the provided tape? Is it worse than those painter's or electrical tapes that ppl usually use? As in, quality, or thickness wise

  • @gk5947
    @gk5947 4 місяці тому +2

    Nice Review. But you should really use a solid state relay if you want to accurately measure the latency.

    • @camshand
      @camshand  4 місяці тому +3

      Yes that is on the version 2 upgrade list!
      It's consistently about 2ms to activate when I tested it, so the variations in latency of different connection modes are still relevant to one another.
      So for now works fine for finding the "fastest" mode 👍

      The M5 and MG108W/B are full sized, but there's no guarantee either of them are going to sound or perform the same as the M1, so you might want to look for separate reviews of those.
