Mine’s on the way. Can’t wait for it to arrive! Ps. In case anyone is wondering. The engraving at the bottom of the case is 龍年限定, which translates to year of the dragon limited edition

[@StellaLuscia]

LUCIAAAAA 😭🙌

[@paulheraucourt5132]

And? How is it?

[@4CETH4N]

@@paulheraucourt5132 it’s the best keyboard I’ve had so far. Compared to all the overpriced gaming brand it’s so much better on sound, typing feel and gaming performance

[@ChubiPanda]

What great timing! I pulled the trigger on the 2nd batch run of these.

[@samuelyan2005]

hey fellow singaporean here, stumbled on this channel today and i think your vids are amazing. recently custom built my wooting but this seems like a really nice board to have

[@funkmetal]

Got mine already shipped, can't wait to try it

[@tomjeff1866]

How it’s? I also thinking of buying one but it cost quite a lot 399 aud or 263 US so some feedback would be appreciated

[@ethane6858]

Mine came in yesterday and I LOVE it

[@LukasBlau]

Your vids help an ton as I have the same handsize as you 👍🏻

[@perspicacity89]

Great view bro!

[@oChEkee]

Mine arrives tomorrow so binge watching reviews See comments for my experience with the keyboard, hopefully you find it helpful.

[@oChEkee]

Update: -build quality is incredible - rapid trigger kind of sucks. They tweeted about working on the software/firmware but there has still been no update. Really annoying when counter-strafing or peeking in CS and one of the keys doesn’t register. Mainly an issue at actuations 0.1mm-0.3mm, but I’d still prefer a proper RT implementation. In short, if for competitive shooters - buy a Wooting

[@RealKyurem]

Good to know! Thanks​@@oChEkee

[@oChEkee]

Additional update: Their Akko Cloud Driver software has not worked for months - it will just say everything is up to date regardless of the software version. I checked with their discord 2 weeks ago and they just say ‘the developer is aware’… (still not fixed) I contacted support for the most recent firmware V107 or at the very least V103, they sent me V102 which has only fixed some issues. Ive requested the correct firmware several times and still dont have it… Very disappointing experience so far

[@oChEkee]

Another update: Contacted their discord a few weeks ago about their software not working when you go to update (software reports everything is up to date - its not) - they stated their developer has been made aware… its been at least a month since their software hasn’t worked. Contacted support for their most recent firmware, they provided an old one on 2 separate occasions. Still waiting for the firmware they advertise on the product page. Not an amazing experience.

[@oChEkee]

They have finally fixed their app. Still get a Wooting if for shooters. Love the build quality and being able to install the newest firmware make it feel a lot better. Just shouldn’t have been such a long issue

[@jrawrxd14369]

Great review! Will you review the M1W-SP HE also?

[@Wyn3e]

What I recommend instead of asking without checking look at the person channel for the review if it has been done or not saves you time and others who read this comment and also waiting, it's the video before this it's alr done

[@jrawrxd14369]

@@Wyn3e so you consider "first look" as a review, good for you.

[@Wyn3e]

@@jrawrxd14369 I've just realised I'm on the wrong channel

[@ghostyasuo9163]

How is latency compared to other HE keebs? And is there a noticeable diffrence if you were to compare it to your wooting

[@turbo49]

why does the RGB lights turns off when i turn on ROAR MODE for WASD keys

[@NeverGiveUpYo]

The caps look yummy.

[@apocalic]

At 3:04 Other reviewer has pointed out that the back of the PCB board is done quite poorly as it only has small pieces of foam glued on. What do you think ?

[@CoderCod]

The software does not show the polling rate used? How can we see?

[@Haru_no_ki]

Dont buy if you will use it daily. The paint will go away after some heavy use. Wanted to buy the year of the tiger one when it was released and mailed Akko about the keyboard durability, and they said it will fade away if used daily. They might changed their paint, but I doubt it. Changed my order to a PC75B black&silver, and still goind strong after 4+ years of 15+ hours of use daily

[@Daniela_887]

I really wanted to get it because of the design but I’m definitely worried about that :(

[@MorTphyr]

Noooo😭

[@trietnguyen2539]

3:24, there is 8pin on the board meaning this could be modded into 3 mode(currently without the 8-pin switch, the board is in power-off wired mode?) I havent used new design with power switch under capslock. but this should be the case

[@caseyzx]

Hey Wasabi could you check out the Leobog Hi75? I just got it and its really good imo, but it isnt hall effect so u might not like it

[@BlaziKent94]

i really want it cuz it looks gorgeous.... but damn being wired is sorta being a letdown for me..

[@krisdev9433]

agh i just bought lamzu keyb :)

Mine is coming, is it hotswappable?

[@SungSuho-im3gi]

is it 0.1ms like wooting?

I got the 7th anniversary now i really want this one damn is sexy

I never buy again on akko I ordered the keyboard but there were problems with the delivery and I won't get my money back and they don't want to send me a new keyboard either

Is the case aluminum or plastic?

Not worth it at all. There are so many better options at this point. 6 months ago then market had way less options

What are the superior alternatives? 🤔 I much prefer the A75pro over Akko's HE offerings, way better typing feel

[@thinkforyourself5672]

@@bop2864, The Polar65 for under $200 is the best I've used. The Endgame KB65HE is also a great choice. My Akko Year of the dragon definitely beats out my Drunk Deer but that thing is over $200 with taxes and shipping

Is it Quiter than wooting ?
