[@mematidel4943]

i fucking love this editing, really nice video

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks man! You made my day!!!!♥

[@francismoran1618]

Loved this incredibly in-depth review. Helped me pull the trigger to buy this keyboard, thank you!

[@TheRageAcademy]

You’re welcome! Glad you liked it!

[@LeeseTheFox]

Number of times you said "THOCC" in this video: 7 (and yes, you made me rewatch the video to count)

[@azu2729]

was keyboard shopping last night in microcenter and came across the akko mod007b, so the slightly updated version of this. i tested out basically every keyboard there[both on display and in boxes, lol] and i was just shocked at how much nicer than everything there this board both felt and sound. i was ready to grab parts and just build my own, but i just liked the feel of this board way too much to leave it behind. moving from a corsair keyboard that was like 180 at purchasing, the quality difference so far feels honestly insane, and i loved my corsair.

[@TheRageAcademy]

That’s a big difference coming from the Corsair. It’s really the sound of the mod007 that sold me (and the affordable pricing) they make some really great stuff. I’m a huge fan of the hall magnetic switches as well

[@Aliikai26]

I love this keyboard ❤

[@Sirwest299]

I mainly want this keyboard because of the design. I have a few keyboards now and had decided to stop buying any more, but that design is too nice I might cave in. Also, this video has such a clean production quality.

[@TheRageAcademy]

The design is what pulled me into it. I love the soft pink colors and the cats on the keycaps (my fiance liked it so much she took it from me). The formula for if you need a new keyboard is K+1, where K is the current amount of keyboards you own ☺️ Thanks for the compliment! Kudos!

[@perspicacity89]

Damn, this is one of the best reviews I've ever seen. Subbed.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks man 🙏 we’re currently running a give away on my discord. I’m going to try to regularly give back what I get in to review

[@BlahajGaming2001]

long time no see

[@TheRageAcademy]

What’s good my dude? Haven’t seen you since the retro video

[@Byzaker]

The non stop rapid trigger works same as wooting? Wooting can detect when u press or realese the key without and actuall set point right? Akko is same or only in actuan points u configure? Loved everything from the review :D

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks man! 😎 They both function pretty identically. As soon as the PCB begins to detect upward travel of the switch, it’s reprimed to be actuated again. The biggest difference between Akko and wooting with this feature would probably be how quickly the PCB begins to detect the upward travel of the switch. This is an assumption but I’m going to say the wooting is probably faster/more accurate just based on the fact that the magnet in the lekker switch is HUGE compared to the Akko switch

[@Byzaker]

​@@TheRageAcademy Thanks so much for the response, also so nice explained. Let's see if I'm able to decide which of them get.

[@BBCsandwich]

The gaming horse is demanding a sacrefised Edit : should the next comment be a long live Reaktion comment like the one 2 videos ago or should it stay like this?

[@TheRageAcademy]

lol, you do you man and use your best judgement

[@markrojo81]

which is better for you Bro? for FPS game? Wooting 60HE or Akko MOD006 HE?

[@TheRageAcademy]

If you’re looking for raw gaming performance, the Wooting 60HE all the way. Akko is on the right path to getting there but I think Wooting has the edge. The Akko does sound nicer though

[@TwilightTypingASMR]

05:50 Switches: Akko Yellow Cream (stabs lubed, the switches are slightly lubed). 10:55 Sound

[@AmonStrix]

Yes it does THOCC!

[@vezkn]

Hey i’m trying to get a wireless mouse but not sure what to choose My grip is Relaxed Claw and my hands are quite small. I’m torn between the Pulsar X2V2 mini/medium, Any of latest Lamzu mice (Atlantis Mini, Maya, Thorn, OG v2) or a gpx (the first one since it’s a decent price) or any other recommendations that are better?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Hmmmm. I think you’re right on the money. My go to would be the Pular X2V2 mini, but all these mice are very different shapes. Are there any mice in the past that you used that you really like? Are you looking for something symmetrical or ergo?

[@vezkn]

Latest one was a razer basilisk and wasn’t very good imo because of the clicks but it was comfortable enough for its ergo shape. I like the look of the Pulsar x2v2 mini but i heard pulsars QC is terrible. The Lamzu thorn looks pretty good for its ergo shape. But i’m not sure if I want to play it safe or not and go with a gpx 1. I’m ok with symmetric but I heard ergo is by far more comfortable. I also heard that the Op1we is solid too for a small hand mouse but the sensor is a little outdated but apparently it performs completely fine. I play a mix of tactical and tracking so idrk what would perform best for me

[@TheRageAcademy]

Unfortunately, the shape is all going to be personal preference. I consider some of the shapes are a “gotta try it for yourself” type. The GPX1 and the X2V2 are both symmetrical but feel very different. Probably the biggest difference is where the slop of the mouse is. The slope on the GPX starts in the middle and is really truly symmetrical in that way, where as the x2v2 will slope more in the back towards the palm, which is usually better for claw. Another difference is the x2v2 has small indentations on the m1/m2 paddles (check my video out for examples). I can’t speak about other people’s pulsar experiences but I own 2 X2V2’s and 1 X2Hes and I’ve experienced no problems. If you’re in the US/Canada your safest bet would probably be going to a Best Buy to try out a GPX1, potentially even buying it, this way if you don’t like it, you can just return it back to the store, no questions asked. If you’re on a budget, I suggest checking out attack shark on Amazon. Their mouse comes with the same sensor as the x2v2 (PAW3395) and sells for like 40 bucks

[@vezkn]

@@TheRageAcademy Looks like i’m just gonna have to buy whichever looks more interesting to me and test it lol but most likely will be the thorn or gpx. Thanks for the help really appreciate it

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@vezkn no problem man! I have a thorn too. I actually really like it. I’m putting a video out about it soon! (Hopefully)

[@theGhostSteward]

Amazing video! ❤ you have a new follower~

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks man 🥰

[@iReadGfx]

Hello, have you tested the keyboard with any other type of magnetic switch?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Only with the Akko branded 3 pin switches. I haven’t tried it with another manufacturer’s switches

[@BlaziKent94]

damn is there a way to have that thock sound but louder? Like non lubed its loud but scratchy, lubed its thocky and deep sounding but quieter.

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@BlaziKent94 I’m sure there is. But I’m not sure how much of it is end-user changeable. It’s always a balancing act out of the building materials, switches, keycaps, foam, etc. I will say that maybe my little mix doesn’t do this on justice. It’s plenty loud in person

[@nonameeeeEeno]

are there an differences to the 3061S HE World Tour Tokyo beside the 3061 HE being a 60% keyboard?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Tbh, I haven’t used those or opened them up but my suspicion is it’s the same shape/pcb with different keycaps/different colored case

[@ianskinner1619]

I've had mine for about 8 months now and I had no clue it was BT enabled..

[@TheRageAcademy]

Yeah, they hid it in a weird way

[@perspicacity89]

You have an amazing voice, BTW.

[@TheRageAcademy]

🥰🥰🥰

[@John-gm9bt]

Is the software good now? I saw a lot of comment about software is not good

[@TheRageAcademy]

By the time I received the keyboard they had issued a firmware update for the on-board memory. I didn't have any issues but I mostly used the WebUI to make all my adjustments to the keyboard and it worked pretty well 👍

[@WillieDickJohnson]

I just got this board but i can't find the web Ui. Would you mind posting a link please?

[@flashjsr]

4:30 You showed this keyboard supports both magnetic and mechanical switches but when i look it up the disclaimer says "This magnetic switches keyboard does NOT support mechanical switches". Can you check and put a pined comment if that changed now?

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@flashjsr that’s weird. I would follow what the website says now. At the time they had it listed all over their website. I’ll check sometime in the future

[@VicharB]

I was wondering how come many manufactures of HE keyboards specify they are compatible with their/xxx switches only, like even Keychron Q1 HE states "*The Q1 HE is compatible with the magnetic switches sold on the Keychron website only.". Why is that so? Does that stay true to Boog75 as well? Another question that came to my mind - Are all HE keyboards (makers) with their magnetic switches have the feature of secondary activation (ex. press W to walk, press harder to Sprint) or it depends on if the switch has such support and respectively the software supplied by the keyboard maker? Thanks for the video.

[@TheRageAcademy]

I think it mostly comes down to ecosystem proprietary BS. I'm a fan of products having actual after market support. Functionally, I don't think there's much of a difference other than the keying system to get the switch to actually stay in the PCB. I think the secondary function depends heavily on the brand and their after market support with software. I think it's really cool that they can do it with magnetic switches but I'm not about to say all brands can do this. So far out of the two magnetic keyboards I've reviewed, the 60HE and the Mod007, they both can do it. Hope this helps!

[@ABXY1109]

​@@TheRageAcademythere is a difference actually. Some magnets on the switches themselves vary from being larger to smaller so the actuations and the pcb detecting the fluctuations, varies from different HE switches.

[@blick3]

Akko Mod007 or Drunkdeer a75 pro?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Tbh, I haven't used the Drunkdeer a75pro...yet I just sent them an email. Let's see if I can get a comparison video out there :)

[@roadrash999]

Hey, do you have a link to the Akko Web UI? I just couldn't find it through google.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Hey man, I couldn't find it either. I think they may of removed it. When I was using it, it was in the beta version. Perhaps they're fine tuning it? It'd really be a shame if they got rid of it completely, I really liked the feature

[@freylawrence]

polling rate?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Off the top of my head I think it’s 1k but their newest versions are coming out with 8k

[@freylawrence]
