Actually I asked to AKKO about the Roar mode. And they answered like this. The average polling rate of all keys on the keyboard is 8k, but these 4 keys in roar mode are guaranteed to be 8k "for sure". Also they don't have any plan to to increase the number of Roar mode keys at this moment. But even considering this and the minor bugs, I think this keyboard is worth buying. :)
Yes I think you only need true 8K on WASD but itd be nice if they added more keys. I also received an e-mail earlier from Akko. They sent me a FW update for the roar mode so I can't wait to try that out.
Your sound test is a little bit off. After switching to the copper plate, my kb sound much better than the FR4 plate. I notice when you tested FR4, you tested it on a mat/mousepad, when you tested copper plate, you did it on your bare table. I have tested on plywood, on the mat, on the foam from the box. The foam from the box absorbs almost the impact between the case and table, and make it sound much much better(even better than the desk mat)
Akko makes some really killer designs, though I think there was a huge missed opportunity to talk about the HE switches used, and whether the board has analogue features, or if it's just rapid trigger. Also, I'm not familiar with what roar mode is or does? The description on the akko site does not explain it, and I feel like it could've been an excellent point of this video. Like... does it just boost the input priority of the keys? Boost the polling rate of the keys? At 8khz, I feel like you'd be hard pressed to feel the effect of a polling rate higher than 8khz. Also as someone owns a anniversary mod007 partial to lighter switches, currently rocking 40g, akko does not have any lighter HE switches, with it being 60g (50 +-10), and is not compatible with wooting's lekker switches. This has led me to bench my mod007 in favour of even a non-HE keyboard. A point I feel is important to point out for people looking at buying this board.
Thank you for your input. I'll keep this in mind. I try to make my reviews as short as possible and just cover the things people needs to know but It might be time to script my reviews from now on to make sure I don't miss anything instead of just going off the top. To answer some of your question. Roar Mode basically just turns off RGB and prioritize the scanning. Its their take on Wooting's Tachyon Mode but only on 4 keys. It just ensures your 4 keys set to roar mode has the absolute best performance (WASD). 8000hz imo like I said is mostly marketing. High polling rate on a keyboard is not the same as a high polling rate mouse and the difference in game would be negligible. Regarding the switches I did asked them to make a lighter version in the past. Perhaps a 45g is in the works right now. Also Akko is using their own proprietary PCB and Switch as opposed to gtech/raesha boards that supports gateron and raesha. It does have a pros and cons and to me as long as it works nicely I have 0 complaints about it. Akko's concept might be to just create an excellent board out of the box without having to do mods to it.
I see people asking about different switches, I found Kailh has their new “source series” switches with one being South Pole facing and the other being North Pole facing, both seem to have same build as the current cream yellows or Sakura pinks advertised with the Akko board, but I believe only the South Pole facing ones would be applicable on the Mod007B PC, would love to see more on these switches but can’t find much online outside of Kailhs information/ website to purchase. any thoughts? Could use another opinion on this
They might sell them through vendors but I dont know when. All I know is you cant even buy Akko Magnetic Switches Yet. Not exactly sure why that is. Perhaps the supply might just be low.
@@khensationalReviews yea Akko has a “limited quantity” available on their site because the two new switches r so new but they were purchasable wondering about them as a switch option for sure
i have a new question, Is it possible to replace the switches with others, for example gateron jade, they are also magnetic. I mean without buying new pcba
Hello, I want to buy the Akko-Mechanical Keyboard MOD007 07 Anniversary Edition, but in some videos I see that the minimum performance is 0.2, and in others it is 0.1, do you know if it was due to a firmware update or something like that?
It might be a different firmware. I haven't plugged mine in for a while. Also I think you should just get the Year of the Dragon for wired or the Monsgeek M1W HE if you need wireless and 8K.
Yes this is happening to me too. I already asked Akko about a FW update to resolve this. Akko didnt really say anything about it but it might be normal. Ima ask them again. They just gave me a new updated software for the roar mode.
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
Im actually testing the 3061S HE rn. Review should be out this weekend. I do like the keyboard but theres something you should know about. Its about the Roar Mode. If you enable it only 4 set keys takes priority over everything else meaning the 4 keys under roar mode might be running at 8K and higher scan rate and the rest of the keys drops to 125hz so if you play Apex you wont be able to do Superglides but for CS2, Valorant and etc. it's perfectly fine. The overall keyboard is fine. A bit on the cheaper side but works well.
@@khensationalReviews i could also go for the vxe, atk, redragon or drunk deer equivalents. i just have no idea which one of them i should go for. they are all availble here via shoppe.
He isn't lying you degenerate. You know nothing about him so stfu And Wooting is a overpriced POS w/ plastic case, terrible nonlubbed plate mounted stabs, terrible nonlubbed switches, sounds like a Razer keyboard, and the Akko 007v3 HE and Polar 65 have ask the features that Wooting has
Im uploading my Wooting 60HE review later. After trying it I am now considering getting the 80HE but im not sure if its customizable and if I would like the 80% Layout. Akko does makes good designs and I really like the 75% layout.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope you have a wonderful day.
just found your channel, pretty good videos! keep it up my guy
Thank you very much.
this is one of the nicest budget 75% keyboards ive ever seen
budget 🤨
how does this video only have 620 views? i thought im seeing a video of a popular youtuber from the quality and everything, great review

@@khensationalReviews What did the firmware change, is it any better now?
Hello sorry for the late reply. I tested about 5 firmwares so far and none of them are better. Theyre currently contacting their engineers about it.
Has you checked out the Zoom75 HE bro? It's shipping in May, pre orders going on rn.. it's going to be a banger
This one looks good I like the layout

Thanks for pointing it out. I'll make sure to do my sound test from my desk and not on top of the pad.
How did you get it, I can only pre order
Akko sent it out to me

Hi I wanna ask will I get banned in fps games for using this keyboard’s function like rapid trigger?
No. Only SOCD or SnapTap is illegal in certain games like CS2.

No you can't. I actually did have a spare Gateron Jades, while it fits. The key itself does not work. It has something with how the polarity is setup.

Does the keyboard have an extra usb c port to attach a macropad?
Thanks and no extra ports.
Hey, I want to do the moleskin tape mod on this board. Would you recommend it?
you can give it a try. It shouldnt affect the magnets.
do you know if the aluminum dragon cover can be replace?
You can maybe with the monsgeek m1w he

hello, i just bought this kb and playing with rgb off, but sometimes F1-F8 buttons like sparkling with rgb is this okay?

p.s nice video it was very helpful

for what you can switch akko he switches?P.S stabs are pretty rattly
You only have the Akko Cream Yellow Magnetic at the moment. Gateron and Raesha Magnetic switches would not work with the board.

Is it good now?
I still think the boog75 is the best wooting alternative but this looks pretty awesome too
Boog75 is $230 here. Maybe if its $180.
is boog75 has 8k polling rate?
I don't think so.
W review
This doesn't come with the dragon artwork box anymore. Highly disappointed.
What type of box they giving you now? I'm not sure why they would change it
@@khensationalReviewsjust a standard black akko box
Ima ask them why they change it
this or their new 60he version? 🤔
60HE Plus or 80HE.

Why lie? Live from the philippines? but u in canada hahaha, y it makes no sense to lie about such. Also wooting better
