btw, if you guys are building this board. Hipyo built it pretty well, but if you want it to sound better, you can try putting the tape mod directly onto the bottom case underneath the foam. Then, use the teflon pads for a force break mod (stick some of it nera each of the screw holes to reduce metal to metal contact) and reduce the pingyness of the board.
I have akko mod 006 and this worked pretty well
Yeah, they put that sticker in to mount to the bottom case. Other keyboards include this step in the instructions.
So stick onto the bottom case?
any video tutorials? words arent my strong suit XD
use the tapemod comes from the box or better using masking tape 2 layers?
Akko feels extremely underrated to me! It certainly isn't the best of the best, but everytime I've wanted to build a keyboard, it's always delivered at such a low price especially since it's available world-wide and relatively cheaper to Asian countries. Big fan of their switches and barebones products and I'll always recommend it to anyone who wants to build, begin building, request a commission for not to expensive, and more. :)
sadly their pcb aren't that good. Had a lot of trouble connecting
Totally Agreed !! he is so underrated with only 587k SUBSCRIBER !!
I'd say it's pretty overrated at this point. It's the only "big brand" mentioned whenever someone says that they're going for a budget build. A lot of people tend to also gloss over the fact that the PCB is very problematic. People only seem to talk about the good things about Akko, but they never mention the QC issues.
@@xx_snaiper_xx5777 oh, so this is why reading comprehension tests exist in high school
@@cauvang1183 Can you recommend a keyboard with a solid pcb?
The cool thing about Akko is they have licensed goods as well. I got a One Piece Keyboard for my first custom keyboard and I am loving it.
Hey there! Thanks for your comment! I actually came across a really cool gadget that might interest you. Have you heard of the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact and powerful vacuum that's perfect for cleaning your desk and even your car. It's got some awesome features like high suction power, a dual-function design, and a brushless motor for enhanced performance. It's really handy and the price is quite reasonable compared to other brands. Definitely worth checking out!
@@innovativeadvertising6463is it really innovative to spam TH-cam comments 💀💀💀🤣
to me the biggest win with this board is that they’ve finally added via support, I feel like that was really holding back their boards from recommendation prior to this, also having a usb c daughterboard is huge! Thanks akko!
do you know which version of the software you need to download for this keyboard with via?
Hey there! As a tech enthusiast, I've recently come across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule and it seems like a game-changer when it comes to cleaning routines. With its powerful suction and blowing capabilities, it's perfect for maintaining a spotless desktop, cleaning your car's interior, and even inflating items quickly. The multiple tubes and high-quality filters are definitely a plus, ensuring long-lasting performance. Give it a try, I think you'll find it useful! Cheers!
Hey, I noticed your comment about the Akko keyboards and the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule could be a great addition to your desktop setup. Its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities can help you keep your workspace clean and free from dust and debris. Plus, its versatile accessories make it handy for road trips and outdoor activities. Check it out!
Good job Hypyo, very good. Good job putting that back on. Im proud of you.
I did a "budget" build for my fiancee for Christmas with a white M1 with the goal of getting a thocky sound. After force-breaking the M1, I think the sound of the case is actually pretty good for a cheap alu board. I didn't realize that the included extra stab pads were meant to be used as force break material, so I did the traditional 2x double sided/rolled painter's tape and it worked well.
Wait those were for the force break mod oh shi-. Lmao, I didn't even know, but ye force break mod with painter tape works as well. I hear little to no ping after finishing.
My cat died, I miss her
I got an Akko ISO Layout 3068B Plus on Black Friday and it's such a good value. Finding a good prebuilt with ISO layout under €100 is not easy. Also, the ISO version of the keyboard uses a more traditional cherry mx profile instead of their typical ASA and the font looks a little bit cleaner too. I got the Black and Gold version with Jelly Purple Tactiles but I also ordered some Akko Silvers(1mm travel linears) which I put on the keys I use in games. Great bang for the buck overall.
Ive been thinking of getting the same combination as you. 😀 But Im also very interested in trying the other switches like the jelly black one.
How do you find ISO layout keyboards? It's the main pain point for me. It's not easy to filter and sometimes I have to enter store entries one by one to see if they have an ISO variant. I've tried to get used to ANSI but I just can't. I want ISO.
@@DiThi This is unfortunately the biggest problem for us ISO users to find keyboards that are good and then keycaps is even worse.
That's why I bought an AKKO 3068B Plus ISO-DE for 83 on sale, it's my first mechanical keyboard and I had to choose between AKKO, Keychron and royal kludge. AKKO fit best of all options for me.
@@eLduh Where did you get it? Amazon? I got the Drevo Calibur V2 Pro (A.K.A. Royal Kludge RK71) because I was looking for a bluetooth keyboard with regular sized keys. The AKKO one costs 3 times as much. At least the ISO one: the other ones are all ANSI. This is in Spain btw. Of course the RK71 doesn't have hotswap, sadly (although it's not something I was looking for when I bought it, the fact that it was mechanical was just a bonus at the time).
I changed the keycaps for some low profile ones that look, sound and feel much better... but it's English layout. I have to hit the jackpot to have *both* Spanish layout and ISO. If it's other than OEM profile, that's even more rare.
@@DiThi Yes I bought the keyboard at Amazon normally it costs 105€ but was end of december down to 83€ so I bought it without thinking.
That's crazy but unfortunately we iso users are only a small group so it is not economical for many companies to produce for iso.
I've been recommending these keyboards to people for a while. I love the feel of them, and the sound. They are awesome boards.
Props to Akko for actually agreeing to that mad sponsor slot. Most companies would shut that down and run in seconds. Show's they're confident in their products and it seems that's well deserved. Great looks.
I've been keeping an eye out for this type of layout (specifically the five extra keys on the right hand side (and a knob), with spacers between the arrow keys and the main keys). There aren't many of this type, so it's nice to see it featured.
@@zully_xo This is a 75% as it includes function keys, arrow keys, and navigation keys. A 65% only has arrow keys as its extra function from the base 60% format.
@@mrkrabsbikini its actually an exploded 75%, normal 75s dont have the spaces as he said
Just dove in to my Huntsman V2 this weekend. Lubed every switch, filled the plastic backplate with silicone and re-assembled. What I misjudged was just how much lube the stabilizers needed to stop the pinging sound.
Doing this has given me a ton more confidence in diving in to building a kit like this. I appreciate your videos very much, they've been really informative and quite entertaining.
My son, who's five, loves it when we watch your videos together and he sees Luna doing her kitty things. ❤️
overlubing stabs is not a great idea. i personally recommend the bandaid to reduce rattle
The M series was my first DIY kit I've ever built and I absolutely loved the boards I made (I built the M2 for a friend and they loved it as well along with the M1 for myself). I'd say this is a great entry level/budget friendly kit for people wanting to get into the hobby! There are a few imperfections that need a little love like the stock stabs and board ping, but those can be easily fixed with the holee and force break mod.
What a coincidence, I just finished building a handwired keyboard with Akko coral switches just this week. Now, I'm no expert so take my stupid opinion with a grain of sand, but I'm quite surprised by how good they feel and sound. For literally the cheapest (non-knockoff) keys per dollar that I can buy where I live, they definitely exceeded my expectations.
got my Akko MOD 007 PC about 2 weeks ago. To this day, my ears are in disbelief how good they sound in stock
you should post a video on the sound
Akko made a bit of a winner here. Looks better than a lot of more expensive keyboards.
This seems like a great mid-range option. More kitty content anytime you have a sanity buffer. I'm currently really liking the Durock Lupine switches. I can finally use my GMMK Pro with my KPrepublic red Japanese root cherry profile keycaps. Before I would always get mistypes, double letters, missed keys, etc. Still feels like I'm typing on concrete so maybe looking at thisnone now.
The ONLY thing(s) I HATE about my GMMK Pro is literally the missed keys and sometimes double letters.
Hey there, {{3}}! Thanks for chiming in. It's always great to see fellow tech enthusiasts discussing their experiences. If you're looking to optimize your desktop setup, I'd recommend considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a compact and powerful device that can effectively clean your desk, keyboard, and even your car's interior. The multiple tubes and high-quality filters ensure long-lasting performance. Plus, its lightweight and portable design make it perfect for on-the-go use. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other tech-related questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with. Keep up the tech enthusiasm! 👍
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I think the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule could be a great addition to your desktop setup. Its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities make it perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. Plus, its compact size and versatile accessories make it handy for cleaning your car and even inflating outdoor gear. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!
I would love to see a face off between clicky and linear/tactile switches (like so hippyo can see this)
In my opinion this board seems like a pretty good option and is cheaper than the Q series boards from keychron. I think you can probably make this board sound really good and make it fit your preference if you spent time on it. Idk if it was just me being on too low of a volume, but the sound test at the end sounded good, but a bit quiet. But there definitely are ways to fix that. Like different foam and tape mod should probably work well
Hey {{3}}, thanks for sharing your thoughts on Akko Keyboards! I agree, spending time on customization can definitely enhance the sound and overall experience. Speaking of optimizing your desktop setup, have you considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a versatile tool that combines powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for maintaining a clean and spotless environment. It's definitely worth checking out!
Pumped to see you finally review this board! It has been on the top of my list since it was announced. I think they are releasing a wireless one in the spring so I might hold off until then.
3 days ago I built my first custom with the monsgeek m1 and I couldn’t be happier with it. Was on the fence about getting an aluminum 75% until I saw it.
Got the Akko 3084b black and gold with pink switches, really enjoying it😊
Hipyo: *builds a budget keeb*
also Hipyo: *drops a $100 for keycaps*
Nola is so cute. Akko has introduced to brazilian market keyboards with layout ABNT2 (5075S Clear Black ABNT2 and 5075S Steam Engine ABNT2) and has been sold out in almost of the popular stores at the moment.
Good job, Hipyo, very good. Good job putting that back on. 👍🏻😂 I actually just bought my first mechanical keyboard yesterday (Akko PC75 v2 something) because they have the pre-built keyboard with Cinnamonroll 20th anniversary keycaps. I am so excited to try it out and can't wait for it to arrive 🥰
I just got the 5057S from Akko for 30$ and I think when it comes to budget boards they seem really good for what it costs. And the VIA support is really great, even on the cheaper boards from them. It's built similarily to the Monsgeek but plastic instead of aluminum. Definitely a better recommendation if you're just starting out like I did.
my favorite boards are akko. they make some amazing prebuilds too if you don't want to mod things yourself. those wine reds are my absolute favs. i have them in most of my boards at this point. and their asa keycaps are really nice too. underrated brand lol
My akko world tour 3087 sucks ass, idk how people like there boards
@@spergann what sucks about it?
The Brother M1W (M1 with wireless) keyboard, renowned for its affordability, has sparked a significant trend in Vietnam. Its recent addition of wireless functionality, coupled with the option to purchase it below $50 when availing the Fomo promotion in China, has propelled it to the forefront of the market, establishing its dominance over other keyboards in its price range
Good job Hipyo. Very good. Good job putting that back on.
"Good job Hipyo, very good. Good job putting that back on"
I might give this board a shot. My favorite switch so far is the Akko Matcha Green. I'm fairly new to the hobby, but I've tried 7 or 8 different switches in boards (plus a bunch of single sample switches). Akko seems to be producing some serious bang for your buck.
Hey Hipyo, your videos have made me a keyboard nerd, thank you for that. It would be really cool if you would review the Logitech POP keyboard sometime soon
Cheering and yelling every time I see Nola
You are both doing an amazing job thank you both for your service
I got myself an Akko 3084b few days ago, and was wondering why Akko wasn't getting more coverage. Its a great keyboard and feels pretty excellent stock
The compact 75%/84-key format of boards like the 3084 is my favorite. I hope they continue making that format.
Nola is so curious, I love her.
Favorite switch right now is the Kailh Box Navy, but it's a LOT heavier than I anticipated. I love the tactility and deep click of the switch, but I will probably try the Pale Blue or even the Jades at some point because I would like something lighter to press.
would recommend the box whites, absolutely my favorite clicky switch
@@hyakqu3589 I actually used the Box Whites before the Navys and they're wonderful! Just too light and linear-like for me.
@@FlashBombGod box jades, box crystal jades, box white owls, box bullets and box prestige clicks are all thicc click clickies
another notable mention would be zealpc clickiez
@@peanuts6327 Would there be any issue with White Owls and South-facing LEDs?
Box Navy Numero Uno!!!!!
I had my Akko 3068 for over a year now, and this keyboard has been amazing for me, It still works very well.
akko makes some good switches, although like most factory lubed switch it can be a bit inconsistent when it comes to lubrication.
Yup I have the cs jelly pinks on a akko prebuilt and I noticed that when I first got it, don't get me wrong the keyboard is nice and switches are great but some of the switches are a little inconsistent with lubing. It seems like it's gotten worse in some keys for the past month or two I've had the keybord
Thank you for this video! Basically exactly what I’m looking for. Layout %, ANSI, RGB, has a knob! Not super expensive.
I disagree with your opinion on stabilizers, I'm curious as to why TX stabilizers weren't considered instead. Tx stabilizers have always come out perfect for me while all of the durock v2 stabilizers I tried had either persistent ticking issues or needing relubing at a later date.
I think the akko stabilzers would be good if you went with a light coat of lube for the housings. I haven't tried them myself but I've heard they're really good. Tx stabilizers can also get a bit sluggish if you apply a little too much lube, they only need a light coating (compared to durock v2 polycarbonate housings) to help with the housing rattle.
Good job Hipyo, very good. Good job putting that back on. 😂
One odd thing about Akko is they're changing switches all the time. Dozens of kinds of switches, and it seems like they're announcing new ones every month or two. I've never got two consecutive Akko keyboards with the same switches because the options are always changing.
Akko and Tecsee seem like a merry go round of switches. I love the Tecsee switches I have but could not tell you the specific difference between all of their colorways on different sites
Yeah I was looking at their website recently and was amazed by how many switches are sold out. They still sell ocean blue and lavender though so I guess those have been popular enough to keep around?
They're the fast fashion of keyboard industry.
Good job hipyo putting it back on the cable
Next try Nuphy Halo(Night Breeze switches) and Air series keyboards
I loooooove akko switches. Last few sets of switches have been akko. Their V3 lineup is pre lubed very well and they all feel excellent with no scratchyness.
keebort
Thank you 💞
the way that this sounds with rose reds is just insane for the price. Fixing the ping should not be a problem, then the board will sound so good.
Akko switches are amazing for price so i got the vintage whites for my gmmk 2 compact barebones build and it was amazing hand lubed
Finally subscribed to your channel as a recent mechanical keyboards user. Thanks for all of the actionable, comprehensive, information as it's very rewarding to do even simple mods.
Box jades are still my favorite switch, I won't be swayed by your thocks Hipyo.
i’ve never bought from akko before, but now i want to try them! i’m very much a budget board person so it’s great to see some more affordable stuff floating around.
I just got an IQUNIX OG80 Dark Side RS with Frozen Silents and, my god am I in love with a keyboard again?!? These switches are phenomenal, and shot to the top of my list tied with genuine Topre. They're so quiet, but still have a crisp pop and buttery thock at the bottom... Just absolutely stupidly nice to type on.
And I absolutely love the entire board too, not just the switches. The frosted transparent keycaps let the LEDs shine through without issue. The board layout and angle feel great and completely wiped away my concerns of spending so much on a board without feet. It's seriously as nice to LOOK AT as it is to type on.
Thank you Hipyo! Just finished putting this lavender version of this keebs, all I’m waiting for is the hipyo keycaps. Added all the mods, holee, blue tape, and some additional materials of my own ;).
Got Akko B5075B for 60 dollars with Akko V3 Cream Blue switches and Akko Dracula Castle keycaps on black friday. Can't wait to try it out.
Recently bought the Akko Alice, and I'm really impressed by the quality considering the price of it!
*Me freaking out* "MOmMMm!!!! IM in A HiPYO VidEO!"
An irony on the favorite switch side... I'm an avid Kaihl Box Jade fan, but a while ago I did an experiment: I spring swapped a set of Akko Jelly Blue switches with 58gf two stage good plated springs... And now those are good with the Kaihl switches for being my favorites.
i like the akko v3 cream yellows because of its price and how good it sounds even when it isnt lubed.
Good job Hipyo putting that back together you did a really good job.
I'd love to see you review the Akko MOD 007S V2
Bro I literally got my first akko keyboard this week and I'm loving it
Yeah, my Monsgeek M1 thoccs baby!
RAMA Duck switches and AKKO Cream caps with very light case foam is the ticket son!
Bro honestly the keyboard is good but man their switches are also so good. For $0.19 a single switch I live the Akko V3 Cream Blues. Even stock they sound beautiful.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get a Wooting 60HE and make a video of you modding the PCB and switches into a different case with some premium key caps. I know being stuck using the Lekker switches is a deal breaker for a lot of custom keyboard people, but as a gamer I really want to see a Wooting 60HE be as premium and amazing as possible.
After trying both keychron q series and akko boards I can for sure recommend akko over keychron higher quality for a cheaper and nicer sound.
Would honestly love to see you reviewing the Wooting 60 he or the Wooting Two he!
nola typing in chat was my fav moment for sure (also pretty deskmat 👀)
l;kjgeyrtuhlakjhd
Damn, that actually sounds really nice! Favorite switch is gateron oil kings.
This is making me want to buy those ceramic keycaps so bad... I think that'd really give me the solid sound and feel I'm CRAVING...
I prefer LED to actually light up the keycaps, the problem with South Facing is you can't get good shine-through keycaps for South Facing.
So I say North Facing is better than South Facing.
i have the akko v3 creams in my custom build and they sound incredible, would reccomend. i didnt do any modding to it and it still sounds like a premium keyboard.
Hipyo be proud of me I lubed my first 110 switches for the first time just now and it only took 3.5hrs
i just bought my akko 3068b plus keybaord, its my second keyboard and its amazing, i cant wait to get supplies to mod it
When papa hipyo uploads its a blessing
My favorite switch is heimu heartbeats. They are the best silent linear switch with unique internal design that keeps them silent. They feel so much more as a regular switch and are quiet. Love them.
I lubed and moded my first keyboard, its akko neon and it sounds amazing. Never thought lubing switches would make such a difference in feal and sound.
Is Nola enjoying her 12k scratches?
my pool of experience in mechanical keyboards is relatively shallow, but thus far my favorite switches are the akko lavenders. they're just such a pleasant tactile switch, and for so cheap too...
I just got an M5 and assumed that, when people say you can use it to bludgeon your enemies, they were joking. They weren't!
One thing I find really important and that I rarely see, is the usb on the side rather than the usual front one. I can’t push the keyboard against my laptop, and those distances make a difference, not to talk about the comfort of not having to worry about that. That is why I love my redragon k622. It is low profile ( I don’t need a palm rest or to worry about my wrist angle), the chassis is sturdy, the typing is really comfortable and fast… and the usb is on the left side, with (obviously) an appropriate chord. Need not to look further. Unless it’s for the single want to build them or going split or something like that.
PS: had to buy a couple (like 7 or 8) to settle, so I think the redragon is worth the mention.
I got the monets pond 3098 from Akko just a couple weeks ago and that was actually my first ever legit mechanical keyboard. After using it constantly for these past couple weeks I can say it’s a very nice keyboard for the price.
The Monet's Pond theme has nice colors.
"Good job Hipyo, very good. Good job putting that back on" guys did i do that right
Do you perchance know if the MonsGeek M1W/SP allows for reprogrammable buttons - specifically for the knob?
I'd like to make its functionally entirely focused on media control. Not mute volume on pressing down, but pausing and playing music etc.
I just built my first custom keyboard with an Akko Mod006 barebones kit. It turned out way better than I expected, I just needed to put more lube on the stabilizers. It came with pre lubed plate mounted stabilizers but they were also running a deal that gave out free screw in stabilizers that I ended up using instead. Honestly only the spacebar needs to be lubed more IMO
favorite switch currently in the Durock Splash Bros Speed Silver switches with K205 on stem and super lube on spring
I love Akko switches but I haven't gotten around to trying their keyboards. Need to get my hands on one soon!
My first keyboard was/is the Akko cherry blossom V2(?), with blue switches (shut up I LOVE THEM), and my only mod has been adding a layer of craft foam to the bottom of the case to sweeten the sound. I don’t use my keyboard for gaming, and I would NEVER want to be in the same room with anyone else using such loud switches, but for me, it’s the sound of *~productivity~* and I love it. I just wish MacOS would let me remap a few of the kana keys and recognize the fn/globe key, but that’s not Akko’s fault. The board is solid, the full size layout I have is perfectly ergonomically for me (I do actually use spreadsheets to keep track of my budget and Minecraft world so you can try and pry my 10-key out of my cold, dead hands), and on my wooden desk, especially when I pull it forward onto my desk mat, the sound is just so thunky and typewriter-y without overwhelming my senses (others in the house may disagree, which is fair and valid). I love that the set came with tons of alternate keycaps too, I think I’m using all of them to replace some of the more boring standard function-y keys.
This should be king of budget Alu Boards. For p/p, its better than its brother, Akko Mod Series, Keychron Q Series and many other Alu builds below $200 so far. Akko just release the cream series switch (cream yelllow and cream blue) which are pretty cheap and good sound for those who interested in the creamy sound. Beside that, there is akko piano switch which stated hand-lubed which is also interesting. There product range is pretty similar to Keychron (even bigger) but they need more distributions in oversea to be well-known brand. FYI, Akko keycap is ok but its not 100% PBT as the caps get shining over time, it should be something mixed between abs and pbt. But their packaging is pretty impressed. The nicest packaging in the market so far. Its unbelievable for $50 keycap packaging.
For those of u Akko or budget fans haven’t who haven’t tried their Vintage White switches, they are AMAZING.
My favorite switch is the gateron tangerine!
THE FIRST review of this keyboard!!
Im so glad you post it
my favs is gazzew u4 or bobagum if linear
Given that this is a CNC aluminum case with gasket mounted design for a bare bones kit at just $99 I think they priced this board well. Its a step up from the keychron V1 in both features and price, which is currently $64 for the bare bones version.
I use their Maccaw keycaps. I love the ASA profile. I've never typed more effortlessly in my life. On God.
1. I'm not exactly sure if krytox on cat paws and especially in a cats stomach is such a good idea. The website states it is 'chemically inert' but i still wouldn't want to get it near my pets.
2. That 'paper' is a plastic liner you can leave in the case as is or peel off and glue to the bottom case to prevent shorting out the PCB. It's not a tape mod.
3. You complain about the PCB mount stabs but don't even mod them properly ? Wrong and way too much lube for the stab legs, no holee mod ? Ofc they're gonna sound and feel bad.
I am in no way trying be a dick here, but this review of an honestly really good entry level board leaves much to be desired.
5:14 Yeah I just grinded the bottom case to accommodate the connector today- although it is solid aluminum, it does feel rather light and soft, often peeling off in layers
Feker matcha is my favorite switch so far.
And great job putting that back on, Hipyo!
GMMK Holy Pandas, idk why but the lube on them felt really nice when i tested them against a lot of other switches at the time
Im very excited, thank you HIPYO
my favorite budget switches are akko jelly blacks, i modded my epomaker th80 se with them and it sounds great after i put dampening foam inside the keyboard
Defenetly wanna see the Epomaker TH80 I think it's a great budget alternative
I probably will buy it myself 🙂😍😍
