Pros

Akko 3098b is a great board for using straight out of the box or if you are comfortable with it, takes to modding quite easily. Features include hot-swappable switches, rgb, and all three connectivity options. The included usb-c connector is gold plat...  Read More

The blue and black color scheme is definitely the classier of the two black versions. The software is excellent and you can upgrade the fw, remap keys, program macros and customize the lighting. Each rgb color can be set to 0-255 and a color palette i...  Read More

The keycaps are amazing and are probably worth the price of this keyboard by themselves. It even comes with extra keycaps with an inverted color for novelty keys. It almost has the beautiful look of the sa keys, without being quite so tall.

Overall feels really durable, well made, and has a good number of use and customization features. If you wanted to get into enthusiast keyboards this is an excellent entry point.



Cons

It takes many tries to connect in usb mode, lighting doesn't update, and macro key getting reset and overwritten. All of a sudden the program freezes, my keyboard goes dark.

I'm surprised akko didn't include radiant red linears this time and went with the whites and pinks.


I think i'm going with akko because their keyboard is not cramped with the f-key row up against the numeric row.

Packaging/appearance


These functions are not labeled on the keycaps, so you either have to memorize the ones you need or keep the small pocket sized...  Read More


However, i noted that two of the keycaps were defective.


My initial thoughts are as such, and keep in mind this is just a hobby and i'm not an expert, these are just my opinions:the pa...  Read More


But the main point of my review on akko is the keycap replacements.

Competitiveness


This is my favorite layout in which gives you most of the functionality of a full-sized keyboard but at the size of a tkl board.


It’s not as compact as a tenkeyless (tkl) keyboard, but keeps the best parts of the keyboard.


The 4th photo shows my example with a tkl keyboard.


Cons:-keycaps, while doubleshot pbt, are a little thin/cheap-feeling and have a taller profile (these are sa profile and i'm us...  Read More
