PSA: Akko has released separate PCB for the 007, 007S / v2 and Monsgeek M1 as they share most components. The new released MOD 007 v3 even uses same PCB that is now sold separate as well as using the same plate design as Monsgeek M1. This means you can now buy the new PCB and just get the Monsgeek M1 plates, I really want to try their POM and FR4 plate but did not want to get a 007 v1 just for the FR4 plate. For info on plate design, the old v1 and v2 used 12 points of contact, 4 bottom 4 top and 2 on each side, new plates designed for Monsgeek M1 and the new v3 supports only the 4 bottom and 4 top contact points as they have removed the 2 on each side. This was stated in a comment from a forum when they released that having the two side contact points was wrong design for gasket mount, looks like they changed that now. So got an old 007 laying around and want to give it new life, get new PCB and even a new plate to test out! Just FYI, the new PCBA flex cut plate will get QMK support later but not sure if that is software upgrade or completely new separate PCBA again. Have sent Akko mail about this and awaiting feedback.
Akko is always killing it! Very cool new board. I hope they do the same to all the MOD series. I mod 003 in white with southfacing would be ideal for me.
Agree with you, or at the very least it'll be nice if Akko offered the PCB as a separate purchase, for those of us who already had the north facing versions of the board!
@@CaviteTechnology That would be ideal. But I doubt they would do that. Not a smart business idea. I don't have my Mod003 anymore, sold it and got a keychron Q5 instead. I think I liked the akko better in terms of design, but the Keychron is via compatible and South facing so I can't complain for the same price, and in stock.
force brake mode works the best on akko board I used a lot of modes on my akko 005 the force brake mode did the same and make the board sounds deeper and full

I'm quite dissapointed by this release since the month prior I bought the v2. Had I known they'd release a south facing I'd wait a while. Or at least if they're willing to sell just the PCB that would be great as well.
Kelan po kaya release date nito dito sa atin sir? Parang ito na yata ang magiging first DIY keyboard ko, was planning to get the V2 but marami kasing nagsasabi na maglalabas si Akko ng southfacing version ng 007 V2 at eto na nga.

Sheesh!!! Akko's doesn't stop releasing amazing stuff!
very informative, the review helps people who are considering old 007 v2 and who are considering other contenders lile keychron q1 and gmmk pro a lot

@@nefitru Yup same, if akko's design and keychron's via support would merge, that will be great!
force brake mode works the best on akko board I used a lot of modes on my akko 005 the force brake mode did the same and make the board sounds deeper and full
yup, did the same to my og Mod007 before!
Can you do a comparison with Akko Mod007s V2 and Gmmk pro? I want to know which southfacing keyboard I should buy. Thanks!
If GLORIOUS sends me one, for sure! but I'd rather compare this to the Q1 as the GMMK Pro is known to have a stiff typing experience
is the PE foam included in the kit or did you added it yourself, cause it says in the keeb description that the included pcb foam is made of poron
I just bought the mod007s and some lubed jelly blacks. On your next video tell us all the modding tips ha. :D
for sure!
About time akko!
tempest mod and PE foam mod sound test with polycarbonate plate please. if Tempest mod will you tape over the foam behind the PCB? Thanks
Noted! will do it on the next vid :)
Bruh the beat on the end of the intro made me think he was boutta rick roll us

Comes with screw in or plate mounted stabs?
plate mount :)
Where did you get your keycaps? I love the hebrew and the font. I’d love to get the same ones!
look at the pinned comment ;)
Hello sana mapansin di ba sya bluetooth or wireless?
Just loved this little deskmat under your keyboard! What model is it?
It's a Felt Mini Mat I got from shopee! I had a shorts video about it too!
Does this version mod007s v2 support QMK?
Nope
Quick question, is the knob still wobbly in the 007s?
A little yup but not as wobbly as the Mod007
can test rgb light from 007 v2 and 007s v2 ?
should be the same :)
Akko suprising us to their new keebs, SHEEEEESH!?
So basically, a south facing mod007v2.
yup just like what I said in the vid :)
@@CaviteTechnology the paint also look different, which is sad. i like old space grey.
thank you for the video!
@@hxsm8090 this is the space grey,
The old one is midnight black
Waiting sa available stocks. Pero dalawa lang talaga colorway nila?
yup!
I'm quite dissapointed by this release since the month prior I bought the v2. Had I known they'd release a south facing I'd wait a while. Or at least if they're willing to sell just the PCB that would be great as well.
I think they're running a group buy on the PCB only:)
How is the encoder knob?
It's working fine, no scratchiness on my part but a little bit wobbly
screw in po ba ung included or plate mount. ?
plate mount :)
i reached out to akko to sell the south facing PCB by itself and they didn't want to sell them separately.
I think they'll have a group buy soon :D

Released na via Akkogear Shopee :)
@@CaviteTechnology ohh. Thank you sir 😇
Yo! Just in time for dessert!
🍧🍧🍧
Naysu
Thanks for watching Doc!
Would get it if there’s other colors and QMK
SOLIIIIIIDDDD
Should just named it mod007 v3
Nope V3 would have more and more improvements
Thanks for the video, while well-made, I find the flow of the voice over lacking. You keep, pausing, at weird, intervals, and way too, often.
thanks for feedback! Am still improvinf my voiceovers video per video!
bruh where is the sound comparison wtf is this video bruh
Of what?
