Akko is killing it lately! I don't do enough FPS gaming to really desire the hall effect switches but a couple of my sons love them and this might be exactly what they need. Love the caps and great review as always!

[@Agent_Alpha]

$149 for a Aluminum enthusiast level keyboard with the best gaming functionality right now on the market seems like a heck of a deal. I don't really like the 75% layout, but knowing Akko and their releases, if this board does good in terms of numbers, they will keep pumping out a lot more layouts in the future, possibly a full lineup of Hall Effect boards like this. It's insane what competition does to a market.

[@Momotaro0125]

I love 75% and with a knob, too? Chef kiss

[@Tripdoxx]

It's $199 for the Aluminium version

[@Momotaro0125]

@@Tripdoxx blackfriday sale atm, I got mine for 164$ ship+tax.

[@Nam-mj6op]

or you can get a 80$ full aluminium keyboard with built in bluetooth / wifi like rainy 75 or M1W.

[@lebronstoe]

Yo I want a keyboard that sounds good stock and the Akko mod 007 pc was a keyboard a lot of people liked. I’m considering buying it but are there better options? Also there is one on their website called the Akko mod 007b they say it’s the upgraded version but does it sound better then the Akko mod 007 pc

[@J7T800]

It was only a matter of time before more competition pops up, and I didn't expect it to happen this quick. The only other 75% I know that might compete with this is the Q1HE, which is still a way's away since there's no reviews anywhere.

[@TheChpowell]

There is also the Monsgeek M1HE but know one had reviewed it in comparison to other HE boards

[@Billy_The_Frog]

price wise, there is also the drunkdeer A75

[@radbradmtb6915]

Boog75 by Meletrix 😊

[@nadtz]

I'm not a huge gamer anymore but I'd still like to try a HE keyboard one of these days, if Akko comes out with a TKL maybe I'd grab one to play around with. $200 pretty good price ($149 for PBT) and gotta say the kb looks pretty good for an enthusiast board even if I'm not huge on the colors.

[@yourhat1000]

a hall effect keyboard with full aluminium case and gasket mount for only 25usd more than the wooting 60he is something else. It's hard to justify the price of wooting for me but this board is just wow. The price is far beyond reasonable. This is the first time I see an actual good competition/better upgrade to the wooting 60he.

[@arstd196]

they also made a hall effect m1 that’s $160

[@bakakafka4428]

What is the difference with these Akko yellow magnetic switches and the other option Akko offers, the Akko pink magnetics? They have the same specs on the Akko page.

[@errmboi]

That's beautiful. I'm talking about the mechanicas not the looks.

[@user-gb7bv4wo7o]

@LewisToh Is rapid trigger available for all keys?

[@ZILLA....]

I just got mine, love the cream color. You didnt mention the included tape, is that for the tape mod?

[@joeno9631]

Do you have any more information about 0.1mm rapid trigger update and maybe reduced latency?

[@jykeebs8630]

hope a 60/65% comes out, would instantly get it

[@kiljonlenin]

Can you buy the switches by itself and use them on the wooting?

[@OneTrueLove]

i love magnetic switch and i have the drunkdeer a75... i might get this one too even tho i have a magnetic keyboard already but im buying it because of the build of akko which is a good keyboard brand and its also hotswappable with a normal switch i think if im correct. its also a wireless and bluetooth which can connect to my other devices

[@Broba_Fett]

With this keyboard and the new ones from Whooting and Keychron we're getting a lot of choices for FPS gaming. I want to see how the Keychron does when it releases soon. I love the look of their boards.

[@acolyte6six6]

Akko's sister company Monsgeek has M1 HE as well

[@ac3e19]

Is the switches pre lubed?

[@mr.guillotine3766]

Man, the hall effect switches are getting more development and options than the optical switches are....(I only complain because I have an optical board and I'm poor, so I can't afford to buy another right now lol)...but that's cool to see. Nice that there are options as low as $149

[@Leon-Belmont]

I have to choose between this one or the keychron Q1 HE 🤔

[@SafMan89]

I've heard this has issues with keys not registering. I'll wait and see what the Q1 HE is like

[@blehhsyn]

What premier rank are you on cs2?

[@leoneldb60]

And where's the software? It includes any software at all to personalyze the behaviour of the switches?

[@DelScully]

wait so I can essentially throw regular switches in this if I want to? I am impatiently waiting for Wooting to release a different size like a 75% or TKL but am desperately in the need for a new pure gaming keyboard.. If I could use this till the Wooting new model come out then switch this keyboard to regular tactile switches for productivity that would be elite!

[@dssjr1]

Just ordered mine after watching this video 👍

[@ZenTunE-]

That's really good actually, a 2.4Ghz custom is always welcome. And even a 75% with separated function and arrow keys nonetheless. Wish it had QMK like some of AKKO's other boards but since they have their own software it's probably fine.

[@BlackOilyMenKissing]

Akko is well know for high latency on their wireless modes

[@ZenTunE-]

@@BlackOilyMenKissing Well that sucks, but the switch technology makes up for that a bit at least.

[@AkkoOfficial]

@@BlackOilyMenKissing Actually for our keyboard, recently since this year latency of wireless is normally better comparing to wired. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5vVn5KMgZyCpaM And our internal test also shows the actual scanning time for wireless 2.4G mode is a few ms faster~ Bluetooth is definitely not good for gaming.

[@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.

[@ViciousXUSMC]

Nice! I don't like the Wooting layout, almost got the Drunk Deer A75 and was thinking about the Polar 65. If they can get the features and software of the Wooting with a metal body and hot swap switches thus will be the one. I just bought 5 keyboards this last week... Funny enough the only gaming one the Asus Azoth I'm measuring higher latency than my Keychron Q3 I did have this keyboard on my list too but when i looked for it i only found diy kits for a regular mechanical keyboard. Now i have the links soon as V2 drops ill have to get it and review it.

[@MrCrackowacko]

clean look, i like

[@skyisthela]

really nice to see the hobby getting more accessible and reasonably priced,, back when i joined the hobby you could barely get a decent board for a hundred bucks

[@LE_SSERAFIM]

No Typing sound ?!

[@foreigncul]

is it worth replacing the Kailh Sakura Pink Magnetic Switch from the MOD007B PC Tokyo with Akko V3 Silver Pro Switch or will i lose all those Rapid Trigger effect etc? (i'm noob in keyboard its my first time purchasing a great one and trying to mod it)

[@PizzaFreaak]

As long as the replacement switch is not a magnetic switch then yes you will lose the hall effect aka the rapid trigger effect with it as these effects are only possible with magnetic switches

[@valthor9381]

damn wish i had waited for this instead of the drunk deer (but the drunk deer a75 is still a great keyboard for the price), but this looks super nice

[@HirahEssack]

The battery seem kinda small compared to monsgeek and leobog 🤔

[@sacrosouls]

It's great to see hall effect switches developing. I'm waiting for some custom ones for the Wooting

[@Haris_C]

Gateron KS-20 exist for wooting

[@livprime]

@@Haris_C KS-20 would have been better if they would have opted for a different material composition. Perhaps full milky housings. Instead, they perform much like the stock wooting switches but with varying spring weights. Not sure why gateron chose to make more recolors of the same switch that give the same sound.

[@Haris_C]

@@livprime they sound different. Much better than wooting but would be nice to have others

[@livprime]

@@Haris_C I would say that after hand lubing both, they sound the same. It makes sense because they are both gateron clear PC top which is what gives them the crap plasticky sound. They are both made by same manu with the same materials.

[@Haris_C]

@@livprime geon raptor HE version is coming

[@skorpysk]

Is there a Mechanical keyboard, with the 90s style L shaped Enter, 1u backspace? i've been using it since 1995, this very keyboard, in membrane still works, but is there any like this in mechanical? i ain't gonna switch to some hot new trend, if it can't get my needs

[@johanlangstone3344]

Just bought a gmmk pro barbones and a wooting 60he (one for typing and one for gaming) damn i wish i knew about this its like both of them combined lmao

[@taytayaxolatte]

not to mention the gmmk pro is horribly overpriced for a mediocre board... the neo lineup of boards by qwertykeys are 10x better for a lot less money so like... prolly shoulda gotten one of those instead aha. or for a similar price as the gmmk pro, a zoom keyboard, which is about 15x better.

[@pauppey6332]

Hii just bought this keeb now and im downloading akko cloud driver but its on kb/s, idk why. I got 266 download and 319 upload mbps based on the chrome speed test. Is there a fix? Or need to wait for 2hrs. Lol thanks

[@xdark2101]

akko is crazyyy (hi lewiz toe)

[@K4sk4d3]

4:23 That tech is basically made for game controllers. That it came to a keyboard before is mind boggling…….

[@gorkskoal9315]

Umm actually. Magnets for keys was used as early as 1968. Before that as early as the 50s levers and gears were used to avoid using springs and bent metal plates was explored as well. So you can see that although click jackets were more wide spread after the mechanical keyboard collaps. They were really only seen as a stop-gap for the more popular magnets. It's not untill very recently that they went to controllers. S

[@radbradmtb6915]

[@minhquanvu2944]

The question is how can it support both normal and he?

[@TheWyrmwood]

Apparently you just have to make sure to calibrate it if you use both types of switches at the same time.

[@kiljonlenin]

The only rapid trigger switch that sounds good

[@6laka.]

geonworks raptor HE are pretty nice and the hate for lekker switches is way overblown

[@floaTyturd]

⁠@@6laka.​​⁠ nah. lekker switches just sound terrible. took me twice as long to lube & film them since i couldn’t find any film that would fit properly, but without the film, every switch sounded rattly asf. it fixed the problem, but the switches are honestly just pretty bad if you care at all about sound

[@6laka.]

@@floaTyturd id love to hear a sound test

[@richardbrady1849]

The question at this point, is who is going to make a Hall effect keyboard that sounds as good as a regular mechanical keyboard, or at least close

[@silentKeys20]

This already sounds 10 times better than Wootings with custom Tofu cases.

[@taytayaxolatte]

this keyboard does sound like a custom lol. its got that creamy poppy sound that i aim for with a lot of my keyboards, so this honestly seems like the best thing to come out at this point for the try hard gamer approach. except i dont know much about hall effect so idk if this functions essentially the same as the wooting or if its different in some way... im not sure. i'd likely only get one for fun anyways as im not good at games to begin with so theres no reason for me to try to milk out the best performance i can out of my peripherals, since the actual skill i wield is... not great lol.

[@d-floe]

This sounds way better than wooting's lekker switches

[@ViciousXUSMC]

You can swap out the Wooting switches to something better/different so that's nice. I swear one of the hundred videos I watched someone swapped to a major brand like Galtron. That was one of the reasons I held off on getting the Drunk Deer A75

@@ViciousXUSMC what is the best? Akko or drunkdeer?
