After years of contemplating to switch to Mac, I bit the bullet and sold my Lenovo Legion for a MacBook and never looked back since
I got my MacBook M2 pro 14" for around $1000 with 32GB of ram and 512gb of storage. Planning on setting a hard drive to store more files. Hope y'all like it
I saw the deal on facebook marketplace, the seller told me it had software issues. But in the listing, he noted it was the Monsgeek M1 (non V3) and the pictures was only top view of the keyboard so i thought it was the M1 V1. When i picked it up, i noticed there weren't any of the gold accent on the side. When i got home and research on what model i eventually got. And apparently the seller confused this as the Monsgeek M1 cus of the label on the back only saying M1, when this this the Monsgeek M1 V3. So when i put the right JSON file of the keyboard on VIA it worked perfectly. So thank you Monsgeek for the mislabel of your product line to get me a steal of a product.
The keycaps i got for $8 and its some random cheap semi translucent SA profile keycap set. And i used MMD Holy Panda V2 for the switches.
hope yall like it 🥺
The seller listed it as the Monsgeek M1 (when its an M1 v3) and told me that VIA wont connect to the keyboard. But when i put the right JSON file, it worked perfectly. So at the end i got a fully functional M1 V3 for less than a McDonalds order.
