In their own words
MonsGeek Driver
MonsGeek Driver is a free driver and configuration resource for MonsGeek mechanical and magnetic-switch keyboards. Its drivers can customize RGB lighting, macros, and key mappings; supported models and features vary by driver. The plugin-free web driver supports FUN68, MG108B, M1 V5 TMR, and FUN60, but not the FUN60 ISO Layout. Downloads include V4 drivers for Mac, web, and Windows, plus older driver options. VIA-compatible keyboards have configuration JSON files that can be imported into VIA for layout customization. The hub also lists model-specific manuals covering setup, features, troubleshooting, and specifications. MonsGeek says it plans to add more models to the web driver periodically. The online driver does not support Safari or Firefox, and MonsGeek recommends Chrome. On Mac, Bluetooth customization is unavailable, and some features, including Audio Visualizer, are not available in the Mac web driver. The listed price is free.
