Akko Magnetic Switches Rapid Trigger Gaming Keyboard, MOD007B HE PC World Tour Tokyo Wired/Wireless 75% 8k Polling Rate Mechanical Keyboard with Knob, RGB Backlit Creamy Yellow Magnetic Switch

I have been a gamer for as long as I remember and enjoy playing different FPS games like Valorant, Fortnite, Overwatch, etc. Rocking a 8k polling rate mouse with optical switches, 240hz monitor, and powerful PC, I was on the lookout for the next thing to upgrade in my setup to further enhance my gaming experience. This keyboard caught my eye recently when exploring the new Hall effect switch technology, and I decided to give it a try. This is my first time owning an Akko keyboard, and I am impressed with how good it is. I had multiple keyboards in the past and this keyboard is the absolute best when it comes to typing. The sound that the keys make and the feeling during typing is amazing. I feel like I make fewer mistakes than before, and my keystrokes register more consistently. This keyboard is quite heavy and is built very good. None of the keyboards I owned before from brands like Razer, Corsair, and Logitech come close to the typing experience and build quality. The case is made out of polycarbonate, giving it both a premium feel and sturdy structure. The volume knob is metal and has tactile bumps when turning left and right. Pressing on it switches between controlling Volume to controlling the RGB brightness. I don't like the existing RGB presents in the software. Since I have the World Tour Tokyo version, I found the Static Red LEDs present to look the best with it, adding to the beautiful Japanese Sakura design. Pros: 1. Beautiful Design. 2. Detachable USB-C cable. 3. Sturdy and high quality materials. 4. Wired, Wireless dongle, and Bluetooth capabilities. 5. Hot swappable switches (Supports both magnetic and 3 pin mechanical switches). 6. Big battery that lasts a very long time. 7. Ability to connect to up to 3 Bluetooth Devices at same time. 8. RGB is present in wireless mode. 9. Good software with a lot of customization. 10. Adjustable Actuation point aka Rapid Trigger. Cons: 1. Keycaps are easily susceptible to scratches on the sides if not carefully handled with the keycap removal tool. (I wouldn't recommend using other keycaps pullers. Stick to the one included with the keyboard). Wouldn't be a huge problem if the keycaps themselves didn't cost $70 on their website, if you considered replacing them later on. 2. Power supply ON/OFF is under the Caps Lock keycap, making it both difficult to access and easy to scratch the sides of the Caps Lock key, if not doing it very carefully. This is not a huge con since you will rarely need to access that switch. 3. Existing RGB presents in the software aren't great, but there is a possibility to make custom RGB effects and download the effects/settings that other users have created. 4. South facing switches. This keyboard uses South facing switches severely limiting the type of key caps you can use. You can't use pudding key caps or other key caps with transparent lettering on top of the keys since they will appear dim due to the light being on the opposite direction to the one on normal keyboards. Switching between different modes: If you are trying to use this keyboard in wireless or wired mode, you have to press : Fn + U for Wired mode Fn + Y for 2.4G Dongle Wireless mode (Make sure to remove the Caps Lock key and shift the switch to bottom to enable the battery power to use wirelessly) You can also use this keyboard with up to 3 Bluetooth devices at the same and switch between them using the following buttons: Fn + E Bluetooth device 1 Fn + R Bluetooth device 2 Fn + T Bluetooth device 3 The power switch under the Caps Lock key has 3 modes: Top: If you are using an Apple device, like Mac/MacBook/iMac etc., this is the mode you want to have your keyboard on. It also enables power to be used wirelessly. Center: This is wired mode for Windows devices, the battery/power supply is disabled. Bottom: This enables the battery/power supply to the keyboard, allowing you to use this keyboard both in wired and wireless modes. (Pressing and holding Fn + Space bar allows you to see the battery level of keyboard) For those who had issues with ghost keystrokes or keyboard becoming not usable after software update: After software update, make sure to calibrate the magnetic keys though the software in "About" section. Otherwise, you either won't be able to use the keyboard (keys will not register) or you will have ghost presses. Conclusion: This is an awesome keyboard with a lot of different connectivity options, great build quality, compatibility, design, and software. I wish the keyboard had north facing switches so I can use pudding key caps with transparent lettering to let RGB shine though but it is what it is. This keyboard RGB software presents are pretty disappointing as well, so I guess it's not really designed for that.

So- I was told to look for a keyboard for my birthday. I hunted for maybe four+ hours for something that looked sleek, had hot-swappable switches, and had south facing RGBS for the key caps I wanted to use (see photos they look divine). I didn’t know how DEEP the mechanical keyboard customization world went until I started researching, and it was exhausting. I was going to settle for the Logitech G713. I gave up on searching, went back the next day and Amazon suggested this exact keyboard. It checked all the marks!! I gave it a shot and I absolutely ADORE it. The customization software for lights are incredible, the keys are smooth and the sound is to die for. I would’ve had to lube switches, add tape, and add foam to even get this sound on the other Logitech board (which isn’t even hot swappable apparently). I rarely leave reviews, but I had to because of the absolute RELIEF it was to find this. It’s made of metal and has a great weight to it. Literally the only downside is the charging light under the space bar for the Bluetooth option. Reddit said it will eventually turn off, but it’s not super attractive (not at all a deal breaker though). WARNING: I saw someone mention they had an issue with the keyboard nonstop typing after installing the firmware update through the akko cloud drive. I had this problem too. However, the software quite literally tells you to do a calibration directly after updating the firmware. If you have this issue, hold down fn+~ to factory reset it, then start the calibration test. All you have to do is press down every key on the keyboard one at a time, then hit confirm. Then it’s golden! Slightly confusing because I’m not sure everyone would know to do that, sucks the guy returned it because it was an easy fix. Definitely would purchase again!

El teclado parece como si ya lo habian utilizado. El covert transparente en que lo protege no le sirve y cuando lo saque para verificarlo se le callo una tecla.

I was originally eyeing the Anniversary Edition but I felt it there was too much going on with the keycaps. I'm glad I got this version instead with the Creamy Yellows. Its music to my ears when I am typing, and a blessing to my small tiny fingers while playing FPS. Akko does not disappoint and definitely recommend it for those who wants a budget but high quality magnetic switch capable keyboard.

The keyboard looks and feels great, it is very nice to use when it is working. I have had the keyboard less than a year and i believe it might be dead, it is repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting several times a minute on its own and no longer responding to key presses. I really did like this keyboard but I'm guessing they are just not built to last.

Very cute but the it isn’t ideal for gaming, it tends to skip inputs, for example your walking/running in a fps and you just stop in place cause it skipped the input, could this be just my keyboard? Maybe. I still use and like the keyboard cause it’s v cute though.

Me gusta mucho la suavidad y sensibilidad de las teclas y que venga con switches para intercambiar. Ofrece muchos modos y efectos de luces, aunque la batería dura apenas dos semanas con un uso reducido por día.

Let me just get this out of the way first: Whoever thought that putting the power switch under the Caps Lock key needs to take a class on ergonomics. That's seriously insane. You have to REMOVE the key to get to the power switch. I just can't believe this. Wow. With that out of the way, how's the actual keyboard? Well, despite the power switch fail it's actually pretty nice. I opted for the pink Japanese style with the Kailh pink switches. The switches are linear, so there's no click sound. They are pretty quiet, actually, and only make a sound when bottoming out. They also feel great, with just the right amount of actuation force. I love the design of the keys, which are OEM profile. Paired with the Kailh switches, the PBT keycaps have a really satisfying sound that's not too loud. Note that PBT keycaps are rarely shine-through due to the difficulty in manufacturing them (ABS is way easier). Unfortunately, these keys aren't shine-through, but there's still enough light from the keyboard's RGB backlight to see what you're doing in the dark. The standout feature here is the use of Hall-effect switches. This means the switches can trigger different actions based on how far the key is pressed. You'll need to define these actions using software. You can swap the switches with other ones if you like, but if you do the manual warns that you'll need to recalibrate the keyboard. Connection-wise, you've got your pick between USB-C wired, 2.4 GHz wireless using the included 2.4GHz USB-A dongle, and Bluetooth. The connection modes are selected via a Fn key combo, which isn't unusual. Also included are a coiled USB-C cable, switch and keycap pullers and some extra keys with alternate designs if you want to change the look up a bit. The bottom line is this is a nice keyboard, but I'm still super annoyed by that silly hidden power switch.

Hermoso, cómodo, muy muy agradable al tacto y al usarlo produce un satisfactorio sonido. Me encantó.
