I bought the Akko 5075b Plus expecting to game with it, turns out it was a terrible idea. And I'm here to tell you to buy it anyways!

    It's probably doing that because those new keyboards are using PCB's with cutouts designed to flex under your hands. It probably also has gasket mounts. The give is to add comfort for typing. It's terrible for heated gamer moments.

    Can you elaborate a little bit on what causes the longer travel time of the keys? Are the switches somehow higher than on the Hyperx? I've been using the older Hyperx Alloy FPS for fps games and was looking into this board but after seeing this I'm second guessing. And for the durability claims, do you think it's due to the gasket mount structure of the board? In that case would something like 3084b be a better option?

  • @impaledmonkiejr1208

    @impaledmonkiejr1208

    11 ай бұрын

    For the travel time- Some boards DO have shorter traveling switches (like the Apple keyboards.) usually because they don’t have any switches at all, OR they have really really light actuation points. And for the durability- I’d say it’s mostly the type of PCB you choose to use and it’s CASE. The ones I got are polycarbonate and silicone respectively that come default, which aren’t the highest durability ever. I just prefer the all metal designs when gaming.

And as I now try to mimic how I play, I assume in the moment of intense gaming I have no idea how hard I press the keys. For the key travel I'm still a bit confused. You said your Hyperx has a low profile but are the switches in that keyboard low profile switches as well or just that the frame is lower than on the Akko? I get that chiclet style keys like on laptops are much lower compared to mech switches but I am just curious how something like the CS Silvers would compare to my Hyperx which has Cherry MX Reds. I assume the travel distance should be similar and what I gathered the CS Silvers should actually be faster with lower actuation point than the cherry reds. May I also ask how is the 2.4ghz connectivity and battery life while I'm mainly looking for a wireless keyboard?

    The board is fine for gaming, what your complaining about is the flex of the pcb. If you want a stiffer typing experience just change the plate to an alu one, and if you dont like the long bottom out of a regular switch just change it to those fast gaming switches with shorter bottom outs and lighter springs. Akko sells the silver pom ones.

    My two main problems with it for gaming are actually it’s battery life and it’s build quality. The case and pcb are not great for high intensity unless you’re a bit delicate with your fingers. Get light switches, and probably tactile ones too, just to make sure you actually pressed the button(I had a couple issues with that from the bending I talked about.) and the battery isn’t the most horrible thing if you don’t play every day/ every other day like I do. However it lasts about 3 weeks for me, and when it dies, it’s dead for an entire day before it’s fully charged(16 hrs ish). If you use it with light tactiles and maybe mod it with something slightly firm, it could easily become a better board overall!

    How long you wait is entirely dependent on the switches, not the keyboard. Of all the switches, the akko silvers are probably the best bet for gaming since their pre travel is only 1mm, pretty short compared to the average of 2mm on other switches. Welcome to the world of gasket mounted, flex cut pcbs with a PC plate lol its supposed to be bouncy and flexible. But what you need is more of a aluminum or steel plate if you're going to be abusing the keyboard

  • @MangoGalaxyYT
    @MangoGalaxyYT18 күн бұрын

    I think there’s a misunderstanding here. 1) gasket mounts (the bouncing flex for the keys) are removable, you have to take apart the keyboard if you want to remove it. 2) your hunstman mini that has linear optical switches will most likely be better for gaming than the silver switch option included with this keyboard. But as you said, they are hotswappable, so you can switch it out for some other faster mechanical switches that could get close to the response of the optical switches. Unfortunately I don’t have any recommendations for that. 3) in my opinion it also sounds much better than the huntsman mini (and for many others they think the same), and this keyboard is mostly for those prebuilt keyboard enthusiasts looking for that type of good sound that the huntsman mini doesn’t have. So yeah, your huntsman mini will most likely be better for gaming since it is designed to be a gaming keyboard and has optical switches, but when people by this keyboard they usually aren’t looking to game with it (also like you said when it wasn’t specifically marketed towards gamers), so you can’t really blame it for having worse gaming performance than your huntsman mini, since one is designed for games and one isn’t.

The wooting is the fast keyboard feeling, but keycaps, case and noise is awfull. 007HE, is wooting fast, but a milisecond slower. Excellent sound, case and feel. 3068B, with v3 silvers pro is very good, i like a lot. 5057b plus, with v3 silvers pro is good too, but gasket mounted. More squishy but perfect for gaming. (and typing to, if you like light fast switches as the v3 silver pro) Hunstman modded, is very good, easy to mod. With tapemod, and switch lubrication with wd40ptfe, is very good. Hyperx Origins 60% with reds, are awesome too, good switch lubrication and its done. Good case too, all made in metal, very crisp sound, but not annoying. This is my top 6 keyboard, I try a lot more, but this six are good to keep.
