All our wireless keyboards have a switch to control the internal battery power supply.
- For most plastic case keyboards, the switch is located on the bottom of the keyboard. Typically, the OFF or USB setting turns off the power, while the Mac/Win/ON setting turns it on.
- If you don’t find the switch at the bottom, it should be under the Caps Lock key. Usually, the middle position turns off the power, while the up and down positions turn it on. This applies to all M series wireless keyboards.
To enable wireless mode, please toggle the switch located on the bottom case or under the Caps Lock key to turn on the power supply. This should activate the keyboard for wireless use.
If you are experiencing issues with the SOLID_REACTIVE_SIMPLE lighting effect on your M1 QMK or M1 QMK v3, where the key to the left lights up instead of the intended key, please flash the firmware using the link below:
Make sure to follow the firmware flashing instructions provided to resolve the lighting issue. Please note that this firmware can only be used on M1 QMK or M1 QMK v3.
1. Download QMK Toolbox: If prompted, proceed with the installation process and wait for it to complete.
2. Open QMK Toolbox: Launch the QMK Toolbox software on your computer. If it’s your first time using it, you may be prompted to install the necessary drivers. Follow the on-screen instructions and wait until the installation is finished.
3. Locate the firmware: Click the “Open” button in the QMK Toolbox to browse and select the appropriate .bin firmware file for your keyboard model. Ensure you have downloaded the correct firmware version for your keyboard.
4. Enter Bootloader mode: Disconnect the USB cable from your keyboard. While holding down the “ESC” key, reconnect the USB cable. You should notice the “Flash/Exit DFU” button in the QMK Toolbox turn black, indicating that you are now in Bootloader mode.
5. Flash the firmware: With your keyboard in Bootloader mode, click the “Flash” button in the QMK Toolbox to begin the firmware flashing process. Wait until you see the “OK” message indicating that the firmware update is complete.

Knob:
The knob has been upgraded with a new encoder and a levitating structure to prevent scratches against the case, addressing issues reported in the previous version.
Internal (for M1 V3 QMK Series):
The noise reduction system has undergone a full-fledged upgrade, including an additional PET layer attached to the top of the PCB and a thicker top Poron case foam (with socket cut-outs) integrated with another PET layer for better sound locking and noise reduction.
Simplicity:
By removing the side accent, consistent support from MonsGeek fans has allowed us to balance costs further and focus on delivering an enthusiast-level keyboard at a reasonable price.

TGL, or Toggle Key, transforms a key into a toggle switch. When you press this switch, you can activate one of two scenarios: either continuously hold down the key/function, or trigger the key/function multiple times at a set frequency (similar to high-frequency tapping).
To set up TGL:
- Select the key you wish to program.
- In the “Combination” and “Macro” fields on the left, define the key combinations or macros you want to activate when pressing or holding down the key.
- Press “confirm” to complete the setup.
You can click on the little triangle to toggle Hold and Automatic keystrokes.
Mod-Tap is a feature designed to enhance convenience for both gaming and productivity tasks. With Mod-Tap, a single keypress can trigger two functions: holding down the key for one action and pressing the key for another. It allows users to create dedicated or dual-functional keys based on their keypress behavior. This feature is particularly useful for compact keyboards, enabling efficient key combinations such as long-pressing the ESC key to output ~ or accessing the task manager with a specific key combination (Alt+Ctrl+Delete).
To set up Mod-Tap:
1. Select the key you want to set and the “Hold and Press” option box will light up.
2. In the “Combination” and “Macro” fields on the left, define the key combinations or macros you want to activate when holding down the key.
3. Click “Confirm” to apply the settings for the Hold key. This allows you to activate Task Manager directly by holding F1.
4. You can set up Tap keys in a similar manner or leave them unchanged.
5. Adjust the keypress time using the slider at the bottom to customize the time required to trigger the “hold down” key definition (default is 200ms).
