I've been in love with Akko for a while now. I can't wait for the Mod007 V3. I appreciate Akko for its great quality, and good value for money. Besides, it's the only keyboard that allows for 5-pin switches.
Love the sound profile on this one :D almost like Ceramic. Very beautiful design, im glad they went with a muted accent color for the aluminum dragon details or it could have turned out tacky. Really cool Keeb, and shipping with magnetic switches is neat too ^^ Thanks for showing
@@thoccnology I have now whatched your video presenting the board couple of times. The board is so tempting, but I already own 75% HE keyboard and I am very happy with it.
@@Shivartin When I'm in doubt I consider getting both and selling the one I end up not liking. It might be a couple % loss in money, but I get to use the one I like the most ^-^
@@thoccnology I decided to wait if they will release Year of Snake version next year, since I am a snake in Chinese zodiac. I also hinted that it would be awesome if they do it next year on their social media accounts :D. I hope they will refine the sound of their HE switches. I am hoping for deep, thocky switch option.
I got the Tokyo one and i love it, the sound is like marbles. Just awesome. The only thing i have to complaine is the Rapid trigger funktion, it is not as good as the QWQ or the Wooting, because at high sensetivety like under 0,4 mm it sometimes releases the Keys, even if you still pressing them.
Akko's Tokyo editions are so freaking cute! The 3068B Tokyo World Tour was among my first loves when joining this hobby. Oh, that's good to know - my fingers can't process such tiny differences unfortunately. Have you experimented with re-calibrating the keys, if it solves this issue?
Tough question! Both are very good in regards to latency and build quality too. Rainy might be a fair bit cheaper though - if you're not into the custom actuation or Rapid Trigger settings that come with the Magnetic/HE keyboards, I think it's better to go with a standard mechanical keyboard. That way you have access to much more switch options, etc. if you decide modding it.
is there a difference in the akko mod007 he versions or is it just the designs that are different? i saw 3 other designs and they are priced differently too but have the same akko yellow cream he switches
There are a few differences, yes! This 'Year of the Dragon' version and the DIY kit of the 'MOD007B HE' are made of aluminium, the other are made of plastic. But only the 'MOD007B HE DIY kit' and the '7th Anniversary MOD007 PC' support not only HE switches, but 3-pin mechanical switches as well (let's call them hybrid for now). All the others (like the Dragon and the World Tour series) support only HE switches. It's not easy to follow, the names are so similar... TwT
@@thoccnology yes it is quite confusing because the names don't have a distinct identifier and is just hard to understand @_@ the year of the dragon version i believe is the only one with 8k polling hz feature, which is why it's priced at around 180 usd?
@@dimplewhiskers4847 Totally agree! (I just replied to your other comment, sorry, I got a bit behind with answering the comments). As far as I know, it is the only one with 8k - but to be honest, polling rate has not much to do with the overall latency. At least in this latency range 1k, 4k is more than enough (the bottleneck is not the polling rate, but the PCB itself)
in Roar mode the 4 keys you assign are 8000hz while the rest are 120hz. If you don't turn roar mode on all of the keys are in 241Hz (ruclips.net/video/pQ3bYuBy8vE/видео.htmlsi=_2m4h0xNGdgBuit9&t=674)
@@tr1ksh0t88 I don't think that's true, definitely not 240Hz (I can imagine 1000Hz or 4000Hz tho), Akko keyboards use 1000Hz in wired mode for a very, very long time now.
@@Byzaker Usually when manufacturers want more things to include, some of the functions can't function at their full potential. That 'hybrid' PCB (that was working with magnetic or 3-pin mechanical) switches was a bit slower due to the extra work it had to process.
OMG you must be a touch-type pro! I hesitate too much lingering over the keys so I'd end up typing aidalkjelaskaslkdj instead of what I actually mean. :D
Wow! Such a nice video thanks for going into details for all the specs.
Thank you so much for your comment!

Thank you!
Awesome review! Great job! ❤
It sounds and looks amazing! I can't wait for mine to come in!
Lovely video, thank you. I’m waiting for mine, first keyboard I bought in 20 years 😅🤓 Soo pumped, it looks stunning.
Oh, what an upgrade then! It'll be a worthy change to your desk setup, I'm sure of it! ^-^ It's almost a piece of art.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I actually like the copper plate sound. Kinda reminds me of giant lego bricks or something.
I can totally 'see' the lego bricks sound! :)
That board is just beautiful, wow.
Right?? The most intricate and beautiful detailed design keyboard I own, that's for sure.

Flawless review as usual
okay this looks so cool I might get this for my mother, she's a dragon for the Chinese counting system and this is so nice
That'd be such a cute gift ^-^ Unfortunately I'm not a dragon, but I can feel the dragon awakening in my soul every time I look at this beauty hihi
that metallic thocky sounds nice tho a little hollow, hope they keep going with this trend of limited editions
I agree, this design is very special!
I love it!
Wow; have you just switched up your video production style? Nice work 👍

@@thoccnology haven't tried it yet. But for most games I don't use below 0,4 mm, so it's not a big issue.
People say it scratches easily, especially its aluminum base. Is it true?
I've bumped into it several times with my nails, switch puller and once with my tweezers. No damages so far.
Is there any difference to the 3061S HE World Tour Tokyo beside the 3061S HE being a 60% keyboard?
I think that comes with the Sakura switches, not the Cream Yellows like this one
This or Monsgeek M1W HE? The price difference is low, might get this for the artistic design and copper plate.
Exactly my thoughts. I find this design beautiful, so for me it's a definitive winner.
In your opinion. This or the Rainy75? I just got my rainy yesterday and im in love
Tough question! Both are very good in regards to latency and build quality too.

Can you do a review on the VGN N75 Pro? I'm wondering what latency and build it has and how it will sound with a little modding.
Unfortunately I don't have access to VGN keyboards in my region (only a single, overpriced listing on AliE). But I'll try to find a way to get one!

Almost, but this is aluminium, and only Magnetic (no 3-pin switch support anymore, luckily!) :)

@@thoccnology thx i buyed the 007b he and its soo nice
@@xNoo3 I'm happy to hear it! ^^
The cable is usb c to usb yes?
Yes, exactly!
This doesn't come with the dragon artwork box anymore. Highly disappointed.
What, they changed it? Oh, that's a bummer, it was so pretty though! :C
This or the boog75?
Hm, tough question! Both are beautiful! I especially love this design, so it's a must for me, but the Boog is tempting too!
The case looks almost the same as spr75 case.
Yes, exactly! All the MOD007 and SPR75 cases and designs are so very similar.
@@thoccnology But I think mod007 case is a bit better than spr75 case because that midpiece is fixed with screws
@@tester776 I see your point, the hidden screws definitely look better!
@@thoccnology yep, and I think that MOD007 is overall better than SPR75 because SPR75 has a lot of small flaws
