Versus a standoff mounting system as offered by other boards in the same price point. Gasket mounting offers a good combination of increased durability and better typing feel due to the keyboards' flex within the case. </p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>No Compromise</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The MonsGeek M5 is an enthusiast grade keyboard at an entry level price.
