The custom mechanical keyboard space can be daunting. But while many keyboard designers unabashedly target the enthusiast crowd with stratospheric prices and premium designs, Monokei is looking to lower the barrier to entry with an accessible keyboard that is ready to use right out of the box.
The Monokei Standard comes in at $189 — cheaper than many gaming keyboards today — while giving you a tantalising taste of what a custom mechanical board is really like. The Standard leans into Monokei’s heritage as a purveyor of premium keyboards, prioritising things like the typing experience and sound. This attention to detail is rare on a prebuilt keyboard, and the Standard easily edges out most of the pre-built competition on the market.
Every Standard uses a polycarbonate plate, which delivers a gentle flex and deep sound. Monokei has also installed gasket strips to further dampen the typing sounds, in addition to plate and silencing foam, and it really shows. While many pre-built keyboards end up sounding hollow, the Standard delivers deep thocks that are incredibly satisfying.
