Hi Betty, thank you for your review. I made my decision to buy this keyboard 2 weeks ago. And i love it! I already own a Razer blackwidow v3 (65%, yellow linear switches). For the Akko 3068, i selected the brown switches. For your infos, the V2 now have kick up feet (2 positions). Like you said, it have the basic (no rgb, no bluetooth, no software, etc). But it is very pleasant to use. Also, its not a low profil but its small et thin. I wanted another keyboard for coding with a different switches (linear --> tactile). Again, i love this board!
Amazing video, awesome to see how much your content has improved! The quality has just improved so much and your body language articulation etc. Great stuff. All i say is maybe invest in some more b roll props and some way to stabilize the camera during b roll. These issues are merely just nit picky but i think it will really make the vids look so much more professional. Anyways that's all i have to say! Keep it up!
Hi! I think you could make a great video reviewing the newer and upgraded version of this board to this one, i think they did a great job at fixing some of the issues with this keyboard
I totally get the having to give your keyboard a quick type when walking by. I compare it to having to give a pet a quick head scratch when they are in reach while walking by them.
I just bought an akko x hello kitty tenkeyless for my first mechanical keyboard. Looks like this review is making the rounds, because the stock was pretty limited!
I have this board but the wireless version and I love it:) The only downside for me is that there's no play/pause/next/previous tracks and AFAIK no way to set them at least on the Mac. Outside that, pretty good keeb, specially for the price :)
Let me get this straight, this is not: EPOMAKER AKKO, this is just AKKO. EPOMAKER just had AKKO for sale on their website as they do make their own keyboards but they also push AKKO and has no correlation in manafacture. Why do people say it's EPOMAKER AKKO?
I just got the silent bluetooth version with cherry mx red switches. I noticed the stabilizers are kinda squishy. Is that due to unclipped stabs? (My previous 2 Ducky keyboards didn't have this issue)
I don't want to wait till next time! Got any 104 key mechanical keyboard reviews? Searched your channel but came up zilch. Thanks. I like larger keys and space between the keys.
Same. If it's for the wireless capability I'm leaning more to 3084 but long-term users of bluetooth kb report connectivity issues as well as a delay in the sleep/wake-up function so I might just switch to 3068 which is wired, better connection long-term and smaller layout.
Purchased this board from EPOMAKER and it came with a damaged on/off switch. The stabilisers on the enter key also popped off with the keycap and they are refusing to replace it because I took the case off to have a look. Do you know if it's possible to replace the stabilisers without desoldering the switches? Very poor customer service from EPOMAKER I must say
I started to get into 65% layout as I saw new opportunities in macros. This keyboard looks as one which I could get, but still (at least) white backlight and bluetooth is something which I would miss. Is it any chance that you could review Epomaker GK68XS or SK68S? This two have all of the above Akko 3068 + backlight and bluetooth. I am just wondering how hard can it be to get use to this Backspace key.
Can you review the new version of the Akko 3068? I haven’t seen any reviews for this board. Here is the silent color on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B08P24YVSJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_EKGZFbTMBRPR4
You mentioned in the video that you don't use too many macros, but curious, did you actually setup and test a macro on this keyboard? You don't show one being used in the video. The tilde key never lights up on mine and I'm not sure if I have a bad board or if the instructions are wrong (my instructions don't even mention that the tilde key will light up)
Honestly I got the standard 3068 and I'm stil wonderng why they included the extra Enter keys. Mine also came with two Insert keys? Sorry but pls help im a keyboard noob
@@dominicstocker5144 Akko Silent Bluetooth 5.0 is the new version 2. Using Gateron and Akko switch v2 instead of Cherry MX in the Silent Bluetooth 3.0 version 1.
I have never seen someone gaming with a wireless keyboard. Razer had made a new keyboard with fast wireless, it’s very experience tho. It’s called the, “razer black widow v3 mini”
That's how you make a 65% layout (Arrows, Del, Pg-up, Pg-down).
Like how the colorful desk mat fits in the studio setup.
I prefer home end instead of pgup pgdown tho
@@slowtyper95 True. They should have keycaps to suit both.
@@slowtyper95 absolutely, if I used pg down one time in ten years it was too much
Studio setup and lighting just keeps getting better and better. You’ve come a long way for such a short time! Kudos!

Is it possible to change PgUp and PgDown to Home and End using the macros? Also, does it stay in macro mode if you unplug and plug it back in?
These are exactly what my wife likes. Being that's she's a bit of a minimalist, are there any great options that are wireless???

Primarily just corsair and Logitech boards. Not many of the smaller companies. I don't enjoy full size so I tend to avoid them
