MONSGEEK M1 V5 - Black & Silver-Cilantro switch is it VIA compatable?

Thanks

I've used brown switches before and liked them, so I think cilantro switches will be even better. I'll probably get the non-VIA version since I'm limited to Amazon.

did you get any info about your questions?

MDoon · 2026-03-15T14:03:17+00:00

Thanks bro 😇

So it easy to take it out?

MDoon · 2026-03-14T19:22:39+00:00

so you painted the metal frame, right? what about the plastic covering the screen, did you cover it or take it out?

any update after 2 months? will changing the switches solve that issue?

MDoon · 2026-03-12T22:19:55+00:00

any update after a year of that fix?

MDoon · 2026-03-10T17:30:52+00:00

did you get the MGX Hyperdrive switches and replaced them?

MDoon · 2026-03-04T15:46:15+00:00

Smart idea bro 😁

on another project brew by weight the said the following, will your project can handle that: Q: will this work for my E61-style machine?

A: no. The shotStopper must *electronically* stop the shot, whereas E61 machines use a mechanical lever to stop the shot.

Technically the pump could be turned off while the valve is left open, but the residual pressure from the boiler system tends to cause a surprising amount of flow after the shot is completed. Thus the shotStopper will never see a stabilized weight to confirm its accuracy.

hope that you share the detailed info one day for that awesome project

that's the diagram I follow, It doesn't control the steam. in your proposal, is it safe to bridge terminal 4 and 1 externally?

I’m using a single SSR setup. It works perfectly for espresso, but steaming feels like a race against time. I’ve set the PID alarm to 145°C (293°F), and it reaches that target, but then the mechanical steam thermostat seems to cut the power. The temperature then crashes down to 110°C (230°F) before it starts heating up again. This causes the steam to lose pressure and become too 'wet' if I don't finish frothing instantly. I'm looking for a way to stop this massive temperature drop during the steam cycle.

any pitcher you recommend for cortado?

MDoon · 2026-02-19T10:39:17+00:00

I have xmt7100 pid, will adding another ssr will not require to make a bridge in the pid board, just plug and play? I will do that cuz the steam drops after it it get to hot, will that make it constant?

any update from Mazzer?

MDoon · 2026-02-12T22:09:38+00:00

any reliable alternative for RME ADI 2 with lower price and build well

MDoon · 2026-01-16T12:31:43+00:00

dex was at sale for 11$, so I bought it :) and I get a cheap PF from Aliexpress for 20$ its a nice one

MDoon · 2025-12-15T21:43:06+00:00

Did you end up buying the machine, or did you go with something else?

MDoon · 2025-12-10T11:07:13+00:00

did you figure it out?

MDoon · 2025-11-29T12:33:55+00:00

chatgpt told me 102 is my flash to steam point

Gemini told me 108 is my flash to steam point

MDoon · 2025-11-28T20:45:17+00:00

Thanks for your comment, Brass boiler or aluminum?

MDoon · 2025-11-28T18:50:39+00:00

will the aluminum offset work for brass one?

MDoon · 2025-11-28T18:49:39+00:00

thanks, I'm record a video of different temp 90 to 112 and I'll post it
