Attention: different revisions of Monsgeek M1 / Knob not removeable anymore and out of plastic!
About 8 months ago i built my first mechanical keyboard. I was a noob and I am one still, so I choose a Monsgeek M1 in ISO layout, where everyone and their dog told me that this is the keybaord to get as a beginner.
I did it took some time, but after a phase of familiarization i really liked typing on it. The build quality was awesome, it was simple. Even the knob was out of metal and removeable/customizable.
Last month i ordered a second one and I immediately noticed some milled out places in the bottom-plate that were not there in the first one. This leading to a slightly lighter weight, but this is not too noticeable. I guess the use the same bottom plate as the M1W model now, which has a battery.
What really did disappoint me was the knob: It is now not removeable anymore and out of plastic. This decreases the value of the M1 significantly in my opinion and if i knew it i might chose a different keyboard.
I just wanted to share my story here, so that you all can be aware, because I was not.
