MonsGeek M5&M5W Series: A Heavyweight Full-sized Barebone Keyboard for Customization

When it comes to mechanical keyboards, size and weight aren’t just about desk presence—they’re about durability, build quality, and typing experience. The MonsGeek M5 and M5W Series bring these elements together in a bold, full-sized aluminum package, delivering performance and customization in one of the heaviest builds in the MonsGeek lineup.

Built Like a Tank: Full-Sized Aluminum Case

The M5 / M5W series features a full-sized 108-key layout encased in CNC-machined aluminum, offering a premium, solid feel with every keystroke. This is not your average lightweight keyboard. With its substantial weight and all-metal housing, the M5 isn’t just a tool—it’s a statement. Whether you’re typing, gaming, or customizing your build, the heft of the M5 provides a steady base with minimal flex and maximum confidence.

• Barebone: around 2.4kg/5.3lbs
• Pre-assembled: around 2.6kg/5.7lbs

Wired or Wireless? You Choose.

• M5 is the wired version, ideal for desktop setups where consistency and low latency matter most.

• M5W is the multi-mode wireless version, supporting 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and wired connections, so you can switch between your work laptop, desktop, and tablet with ease.

This flexibility makes the M5W perfect for users who want both heavy-duty build quality and wireless freedom.

100 Barebones Keyboard Kit for Maximum Customization

For enthusiasts, the M5/M5W also comes as a barebone keyboard kit, allowing users to fully customize their build. With support for 5-pin hot-swappable PCBa for switch freedom and south-facing RGB LEDs for shine-through and compatibility, it’s compatible with a wide range of switch and keycap combinations.

Other key features as follows:

• Full-size 108-key layout with a dedicated number pad

• Aluminum top and bottom case for durability and weight

• Gasket-mounted structure for softer keystrokes and better acoustics

• Sound-dampening layers pre-installed for reduced ping and improved feel

What’s the difference between M5W and M5?

The key differences between the M5W and M5 lie in their connectivity options, customizable software, and stabilizers.

Who Is the MonsGeek M5 and M5W For?

• Productivity Power Users: The numpad and programmable layers streamline data entry and shortcuts.

• Gamers: Anti-ghosting, N-key rollover, and wireless (M5W only) keep you competitive.

• Keyboard Enthusiasts: The barebone kit is a playground for modders—lube the stabilizers, add foam, or swap switches to craft your perfect typing feel.

M5 & M5W Series isn’t just about size—it’s about the experience.

It’s designed for long sessions, serious work, and customizable expression.
