MonsGeek M2 V5 HE – 98-Key Compact Magnetic Keyboard, 8K
159,90 € Inc. VAT
Key Features:
- 98-Key 1800 Compact — Full Functionality, Smaller Footprint – Numpad, function row, arrow and navigation cluster, all in a tighter layout than standard full-size. Hall Effect precision without sacrificing a single key.
- 0.005mm Rapid Trigger & 32,000Hz Scan Rate – Actuation and reset resolve in 0.005mm steps. At 32K scanning, re-actuation registers before most keyboards finish processing the initial press.
- 8,000Hz Polling — Wired and 2.4GHz Wireless – Full 8K responsiveness over both connection types. No latency penalty for cutting the cable.
- DKS + Snap Key (SOCD) – DKS maps four actions to a single key across two press depths and two release points. Snap Key prioritizes the most recent directional input — clean counter-strafes without ambiguous outputs.
- Akko AstroAim Switches — Cross-Compatible – Factory-lubed linear, 35gf, deep low-pitched acoustics. Swap to any N-pole downward-facing third-party magnetic switch per-key without changing keyboards.
Mice Hand Size Guide
Determining the right size for your gaming mouse involves considering factors such as shape and grip style. However, our focus here is on the size of your hand in relation to the mouse. The measurements provided serve as a guide to help you make an informed choice:
Length: Measure from the base of the palm to the top of the middle finger.
Width: Measure from the joint of the thumb to the edge of the palm.
These measurements are indicative and are for reference only.
| Mouse Size | Hand Lenght | Hand Width |
| Small | Less than 17 cm | Less than 8.5 cm |
| Medium | 17 cm to 19.5 cm | 8.5 cm to 9.5 cm |
| Large | More than 19 cm | More than 9.5 cm |
MonsGeek M2 V5 HE – 98-Key 1800 Compact Magnetic Keyboard, 8K Polling
The MonsGeek M2 V5 HE is the answer to a question most Hall Effect keyboards ignore: what if you need a numpad? It brings the same 0.005mm Rapid Trigger, 32K scan rate, and 8K wireless polling from the M1 V5 HE into a 98-key 1800 compact layout — full function row, numpad, arrows, and navigation cluster, in a footprint significantly smaller than a standard full-size keyboard.
Rapid Trigger & Scan Rate Architecture
Actuation and reset points are configurable in 0.005mm steps across the full 3.5mm key travel. At a 32,000Hz scan rate, even a 0.1mm finger lift is resolved across multiple scan cycles — which is what makes sub-0.01mm RT stable rather than erratic. 15 dedicated logic ICs offload auxiliary tasks from the Arm Cortex-M4 MCU, keeping TProcessing consistent under burst input without the architectural bottleneck that affects cheaper 32K implementations.
RT Stabilizer mode filters unintended actuations from hand tremors at sub-0.01mm sensitivity, without affecting intentional inputs.
8K Polling — Wired and 2.4GHz Wireless
8,000Hz polling runs on both USB-C and 2.4GHz wireless. Bluetooth drops to 125Hz and covers multi-device switching (up to 3 devices via Fn+E/R/T) — not competitive sessions. Wireless 8K polling on a full-featured 98-key board is uncommon at this price point.
DKS, Snap Key & Advanced Input
DKS (Dynamic Key Switch) maps four independent actions to a single key — light press triggers action one, deeper press triggers action two, with two configurable release points. Useful for condensing actions on a layout where key real estate is less of a constraint, but precision input layers add genuine value.
Snap Key handles SOCD by outputting the most recently pressed directional input, enabling clean counter-strafes in CS2 and Valorant. Mod-Tap adds dual-function keys (tap vs. hold), and Toggle Key turns any key into a persistent on/off switch.
Akko AstroAim Switches & Cross-Compatibility
Linear, factory-lubed, 35gf initial force, 3.5mm travel. The POM stem and PA66 housing produce a deeper, lower-pitched sound than most Hall Effect switches — noticeably less hollow. Cross-compatible with any downward-facing N-pole magnetic switch from third-party brands, with per-key mixing and automatic calibration via MonsGeek Driver.
Build & Acoustics
Gasket mount with PORON plate foam and IXPE switch pads for a cushioned bottom-out. Stabilizer wires are demagnetized to prevent magnetic field interference on large keys. Ball-catch quick-release opens the case tool-free.
⚠️ Compatibility Notice: Magnetic switches only — MX mechanical switches are NOT supported. For a board that runs both magnetic and mechanical switches, see the MonsGeek M1 V5 TMR.
⚠️ Software Note: Configuration via MonsGeek Driver (browser-based) only. QMK and VIA are not supported.
