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.

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. :)

Good job Hypyo, very good. Good job putting that back on. Im proud of you.

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.

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.

I've been recommending these keyboards to people for a while. I love the feel of them, and the sound. They are awesome boards.

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.

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!

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’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 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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Awesome! I've been thinking about getting an akko keyboard lately!

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

I love Akko switches but I haven't gotten around to trying their keyboards. Need to get my hands on one soon!

Just dove in to my Huntsman V2 this weekend. Lubed every switch, filled the plastic backplate with silicone and re-assembled.
