Customer Reviews
Bought to replace a 'Quacky' 3 Pro keyboard, which was junk and failed after less than a year (double and missed keystrokes etc).
I installed Akko's own Creamy Blue switches, which are tactile but with only a very slight bump, almost linear in feel - very good quality and perfect feel for me. Added some PBT keycaps. Superb feel and sound out of the box. I do wish it had a recessed cable connection underneath the case so that the rear of the case has no connector sticking out, but this is a minor point specific to my setup.
I have no issue with the switch being under a key. This is what keeps the case simple and easier/cheaper to make. Might be an issue for people who switch between wired and wireless all the time though. I also think removing the side panels from the design is a plus not a negative.
I had a brief head scratcher getting it connected by wired connection. Realised I needed to press Fn+U as well as change the switch under the caps lock key. Was then picked up by VIA.

The keyboard sounds amazin out of the box, I paired it with the akko dracula switches. It feels very robust, but maybe a little too much, weighting basically 2Kg.
Impressive battery life, i've been using it nonstop for about a week and it is still at 70% (I do not use any lighting)
The setup was easy, there's a manual with the combined keys functions.
The VIA setup required me to upload a .json file (it's a very easy task).
The only downsides to this keyboard is the on-off switch. It is below the caps key, forcing you to remove it if you want to switch from wireless mode to cable (no battery usage) mode.
My god. This just on another level. I didnt quite understand the VIA software, but customer service insta responded to me and helped me figure everything out. So easy to to open the keyboard and swap everything around, i love it! Thank you so much for this great experience 👏
As one of the previous commentor, being a bit picky on where the on and off switch is located.
For my first custom keyboard I am very happy with the purchase. Thocky sound out of the box, no requirement to modify it any further IMO. I used Vertex V1 Switches (Hand-lubed), and Keytok's Mecha Godzilla Keycaps. But bummed there was no ISO layout keycaps on that but made work around with the extra switches provided.
