Montech MKey Pro Keyboard Review
Roughly a year ago, Montech launched their first keyboard, the MKey, and we liked it here at KitGuru. Well, now the MKey has been given the ‘Pro' treatment – bringing 3 way connectivity, MacOS support and QMK/VIA functionality to the company's peripheral lineup. The MKey Pro improves on almost every aspect of the original, with new Gateron G Pro 3.0 switches and double shot PBT keycaps – is this the new sub $100 keyboard king?

Pros:
Excellent sound.
Three-way connectivity.
Great factory lubed stabilisers.
QMK/VIA support.
Solid battery life.
Appealing price.
Great improvement over the original Montech MKey keyboard – including now offering a UK ISO layout.
Cons:
Dial wobble.
No included MacOS modifier keycaps.
UK availability is patchy.
KitGuru says: The MKey Pro improves on many aspects that fell short on the original MKey keyboard. It sounds and feels great to use but is ever so slightly let down by a poor quality dial and a lack of MacOS suitable keycaps.
