I have a battled my Monsgeek M1V5.

I’ve thought tons of switches, caps, and stabilizers to try and make it enjoyable. I gave up on it for a while but I recently decided to give it one more chance.

This keyboard is now my favorite board for work and it makes typing feel so nice. I am sending emails all day at my work from home office desk.

My final recipe for personal bliss.

Keychron white on black KSA keycaps.
Gateron Oil King V2
Backspace, enter, shift, and space bar all have gateron ink v2 switches.

Most importantly I found stabilizers that actually work with this board.

Top plate mount AP stabilizer set
The box says new 2023 almost perfect.

No other stabilizer I tried worked with this board the way I needed for it to be usable.

Now I love it, I’m so glad I decided to try and put this board together one more time.

I prefer it over the rainy 75 now. The rainy 75 is just a little bit too soft for my liking.

This hobby I mean. Like a tumor.

It started with a razer black widow tournament edition.

When that kicked the bucket after years of abuse I purchased the gamakay tk75 which I enjoyed for its silence. My gaming room used to share the living room with my then fiance.

My next board was an epomaker Aula F75 that I loved until a redditor pointed out the amount of flex on the board and I started getting curious. (I still think as a stock entry level board it’s a solid choice.)
I had the Leobog reaper switches on mine.

My next board was the yunzii al80 which is still my primary gaming board. The short travel on the cocoa cream v2s makes for an amazing gaming keyboard. I also like that the angle on the keyboard is less severe which allows me to kick back when I’m 1v9ing league matches. That or hard feeding lol.

I lightly modified the yunzii by adding some rubber keycaps on the escape and arrow key and I put a homing key on my q key for moba positioning. I’ve been tempted to buy a few of these boards so I always have them on deck in case it gets discontinued. Love it, and the stabilizers were good out the gate.

My next board was the monsgeek m1v5. I cannot recommend this board. It’s impossible to get my stabilizers to sound good and I’ve ordered a keyboard and a half’s worth of stabilizers in my failed efforts.

I put gateron oil kings on this board and I added epomaker lusterfly jelly keycaps.

The board looks great, but I hate the mda profile and I’m hoping custom m1v5 plates drop soon so I can try and revive the board in the future.

One perk of being a corporate slave for a living is that my work pc and primary pc share a desk so I can always have two keyboards in rotation.

My most recent board is the rainy 75 pro, and that is what brought me here. This board is quite dreamy to me for work, but the stock switches were way too light and I was fumbling more typos than I would like to admit.

I recently ordered six different random keycap sets off Amazon and I also added KP Republic everglide eg aqua king linear 62g switches and I wanted to share first attempt at really trying to make a board my own.

I like these switches more than the oil kings surprisingly, and I’ve added some pictures for reference along with a small video of me triggering sticky keys like the absolute noob that I am.

TLDR: keyboards fun, here is my rainy 75 with an ugly but fun key arrangement. Switches are KP Republic linear aquas with 62gf.

Cheers. If it will let me I’ll post a video of the sound in the comments?

Leveling here is phenomenal. There’s a tile to heal up after every battle in Rendarak!

One of my best friends made this for me to help spread awareness.
