Oh this is interesting, I found Monsgeek M1 barebone kit in stock on mechkeys. It's 86 dollars which seems like a steal for a south-facing CNC aluminum and VIA compatible kit. It comes in white, black, and pink colourways, plus there's a built version but it doesn't have Akko switches or caps. That said, I haven't been able to find any reviews except minute-long typing vids from very small channels on YT... not sure if it's worth the risk personally.

Edit: Just in case anyone sees this and gets the wrong idea, it looks the domestic version isn't VIA compatible! The mechkeys listing is also not great (picture missing labels, doesn't tell you what comes in the box, etc.) so I would wait for Akko to release it on their their own shop.

My take would be that Akko has a reputation to lose, so it shouldnt be bullcrap.

Moreso the 90$ pricetag isnt too far off considering thry add 25$ shipping for me and Akko offers a full set of switches which makes both shops priced evenly if you need switches.

Just an additional information: This version currently being sold isn't the international version, so chances are the version from Taobao and Mechkeys won't have VIA support and screw-in stabs support. The international version (with all features) will launch in december. They said so in their twitter account and discord server.

Hi Guys,
this board has gone on preorder and i just discovered that Akko is offering a special cooperation.

I'm especially interested in the opinion of you comparing this board to a MOD007s, Q1 Knob, GMMK Pro.

Has anyone experience with the board as some south asian people seem already have gotten their hands on it.
How is the quality, how are the stabilizers compared to the ones from Akko (with come as an addon when purchasing from Akko).

Some quick facts

It is heavier than the q1 while having a similar aluminium alloy (6-Series).

It comes with tape and silicon gasket tape (mods)

Seperate pcb plates are available (comes with PC)

Different gaskets are in the box

A coiled cable (aviator?)
