Top Amazon Reviews


  • it's only been 6 hours and i'm thoroughly impressed
I might regret making this review after only using the keyboard for a few hours, but I'm really impressed. I got an iPad Pro recently and couldn't justify spending $300 on their magic keyboard. I've used a 2013 Razer Blackwidow ultimate for nearly a decade, so I'm a home-grown clicky switch fan, but I never knew any different. I was raised in another time, and times have changed. So I started looking at alternatives that could replace my old faithful. Cue dozens of hours watching keyboard keyboard youtubers, comparing layouts, switches, keycaps, and learning the unfortunate reality of groupbuys and the vast quantity of out-of-stock options, not to mention the insane prices of some of these keyboards! I understand it's a niche hobby, but I was looking for my entry. I wanted a white keyboard (to later 'upgrade' to a vintage '80s look) with a numpad that wasn't absolutely enormous, and it had to be wireless so I could use it for both my desktop and iPad. Let me tell you about the trials and tribulations I endured trying to whack all of those moles at once. Then I found it - a compact, white, wireless, budget-friendly 98-key! Right out of the box, to my untrained ears, the keys sounded perfect. I almost didn't lube them at all! I typed around on it fresh out of the box and noticed a little rattle from the modifiers, so I decided to just go ahead and lube all the switches since I had already bought the kit. I'm here to tell you, lube the switches. It takes forever (nearly 4 hours for me as a complete noob), but not only does it sound nicer, but the typing experience is so buttery smooth and satisfying. There was a stark difference comparing the sound of the the lubed switches to unlubed even without the keycaps - the unlubed switches were almost plastic-y sounding while the lubed switches were much smoother, quieter, and lower-pitched. Just do it while you watch a show or something. It's a super repetitive process so you won't be too distracted. The stabilizers appear to come pre-lubed, so I decided not to lube them myself, though after using the keyboard for a while, I do think they could use more or a better quality lubricant as they don't rattle but are a bit sharper than the rest. I admit that the reason I didn't go ahead and do it is because the stabilizer bar runs under the plate, and I was intimidated to take them out and attempt it lmao. The spacebar is surprisingly the best-sounding of all the stabilized keys, so it's really not a huge deal to me anyway. I had settled on pinks, but I will say my only regret is not trying out the whites. I was recommended to get pinks because they have the same activation force as Razer greens, but pinks feel heavier to press while typing. This may be because of the lubricant (some of the keys felt a little slow to return once I pressed them, but this quickly passed) but may go away with time. Nevertheless, I make fewer typing errors and my WPM has gone up about 20% immediately after swapping to this keyboard. You can't argue with that. My only major gripe so far is the software/firmware. I downloaded the Cloud driver software from the Akko website and installed it, no issues. Running it? It would refresh every second or two and never recognized my keyboard. I thought, ok whatever, I'll try the wireless manager software for this specific keyboard model. It spammed my computer with popups and also failed to recognize my keyboard! At some point, I tried to show my husband how the software was acting, and it showed up fine. I tried to update it, assuming it would fix future issues, but when it restarted the same issues repeated. Now, I open it and it never recognizes the keyboard. I'd recommend not trying to update the software to 11.1.18. You can get 11.1.17 from the Akko website right now, or 11.1.11 from the Epomaker website. 11.1.11 runs better and I haven't had an issue with it so far other than its font is worse. If I can figure out how to make this software work, I'll update the review with a note to detail how I fixed it. A small, related note that isn't a huge deal personally is that I really don't care for the RGB on this keyboard. Maybe it's because I never had an RGB before and the hype has died down around it, maybe it's the pink aesthetic taking away from the RGB experience, idk, but it just doesn't work to me. I love that it's RGB-compatible so you can choose whatever colors you like, and I did change my lights to white when the software did allow me to, but I wish effort had been made to create white or pink presets that work with this keyboard's aesthetic rather than a dozen or more generic RGB effects that only work (imo) with a black keyboard. The keycaps also cast a pink glow when using white light, which is what I wanted rather than RGB. Maybe my pink switches contribute somewhat to this, but no doubt most of it is due to the hot pink interior of the keycaps, making it even more confusing why they wouldn't just go with white/pink lighting presets. Even the lettering is translucent hot pink. Why are they running RGB stock on this pink af keyboard?? On a more positive note, the wireless USB works flawlessly, and it's super easy to pair and use with bluetooth for my iPad. There's no apparent latency on either, and swapping is immediate and seamless with function shortcuts. I don't yet know how easy it is to open, but I plan to do that soon to tape mod it. I also don't know yet how long the battery lasts. I'll update the review after I do both of those as well as any other notes I have from extended use. This keyboard is pretty cheap, but you would absolutely never know it. It's a nice quality material, the keycaps feel great, it's hefty in the best way, and the rubber feet are perfection. I'm thrilled with this purchase, and aside from a completely scratch custom build, this is the best intro to the hobby that I could imagine. ... show more

  • Good budget keyboard
Size: Epomaker Flamingo Switch Color: EK68 Black&Silver
I have only a week with it and I like it a lot. My last keyboard (G413 SE) was my first mechanical keyboard experience but with time I started to feel that it was really bad device for its price. I wanted something "hotswapable" and wireless until I came across this keyboard. I think for a first experience into a mechanical keyboard it is a really good experience. They sound exactly as I watched in dozens of reviews. Software for these board is as good as the keyboard. I found it pretty rough and uncomfortable to use. You need to save color profiles and rebound key profile separately. Sometimes it does not save or program crashes from time to time. Flamingo switches are my cup of tee so I am happy with my choice and keycaps are really nice for the price. Really easy to type in. Due to the steel plate there is almost zero flex, so I guess gaskets are only for sound purposes. A shame because there are other brands that have same board reference that includes the PC plate. Build quality is solid with some minor issues, like around the space bar, where the case warps a bit. Nothing noticeable but if one looks carefully can be spotted easily. There are also some keycaps, specially the yellow one that have some problem with legends but I am nickpicking. Again, for the price the quality is really good. Overall, I liked the sound, build and typing experience out of the box; for the price it is a solid choice if you do not think to mod the keyboard for a while. ... show more

  • Thocc City
The Akko 3068B is a 65% keyboard kit. I got the Black & Pink version of the board with Akko CS Jelly Pink switches. I primarily used the 3068B with a PC running Windows 10, but I also confirmed that it works over Bluetooth with my Pixel 3 running Android 12. The Akko 3068B shipped in a black cardboard box with a pink and black slipcover. The 3068B is pictured on the front of the slipcover, in addition to text specifying the chosen keycap profile and color scheme. There is also a sticker that denotes the hot-swappable nature of the 3068B's printed circuit board (PCB). The Akko logo and Akko's social media links and corporate contact information are provided on the sides of the slipcover. A sticker denoting the selected switch type is also found on the top side of the slipcover. Finally, a diagram of the 3068B identifying the board's shortcut keys is featured on the back of the slipcover. Inside the box, the keyboard is stored in a polyethylene bag, which is seated inside a foam cutout. The top of the board is covered by a clear plastic cover. Besides the board itself, the package included a user manual, keycap puller, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a variety of novelty keycaps. The 3068B also includes a selection of additional modifier keycaps in alternative colors and sizes for use with other keyboards. This is a nice touch. The Akko 3068B has a plastic case with a thick bezel and rounded corners. The case is very heavy for a plastic board. The keyboard has a recessed USB-C port on the left side of the board. The bottom of the board has collapsible plastic feet with rubber caps. On the opposite side of the back of the Akko 3068B from the USB-C port is a toggle switch for the keyboard's wireless functionality. This switch was not aligned correctly on my unit and required more force and finagling than should be necessary to switch on or off. It also did not lock fully into the "On" position, though the wireless functionality worked perfectly in both the Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz modes. I used the 3068B at my desk 1–1.5 meters from my computer, so I do not have a real sense of the limits of the wireless range. The keyboard does go into a power-saving sleep mode when using the 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth modes and requires a second or two after an initial input to wake up and begin registering keystrokes. The layout is slightly more horizontally compressed than feels natural to me. I sometimes had an issue reaching for the "Backspace" key and hitting the "Tilda" key instead. I also do not understand why 65% keyboards typically opt to include "Page Up" and "Page Down" as two of the default options in the rightmost column of keys. Thankfully, this can be rebound in the Akko Cloud software. However, I greatly appreciate having dedicated arrow keys. The keycaps are Doubleshot PBT in Akko's ASA profile. ASA uses roughly the same height as OEM keycaps but with spherical tops. I like this profile a lot, but I think I narrowly prefer Epomaker's slightly lower-profile GSA profile. The outlines of letters and symbols are very sharp, and the keycaps feel both smooth to the touch and robust in terms of build quality. There are three indicator LEDs on the right bezel. The topmost light identifies the status of CAPS LOCK, and the bottommost light identifies whether the Windows key is locked, but I could not discover what purpose the middle light serves. As with the Akko 3061 I previously reviewed, the RGB lighting, while consistent, is not as bright as on other boards in its price range. These include those from MarvoDIY or even the various SK/GK rebrands I have used. The LEDs are north-facing. With the Akko CS Jelly Pinks, the Akko 3068B has a deep, thoccy sound profile. The board sounds excellent out of the box, with just a hint of hollowness. That said, it is definitely on the louder side. The 3068B has the best stock stabilizers I have used on any budget board. There is little to no rattle on any of the stabilizers. I did not find it necessary to perform any mods on them, which is a first for any of the review units I've received. The 3068B uses Akko's Cloud software for key rebindings, macros, and LED lighting customization. I did not use this software during my review period, as I was satisfied with the stock shortcuts. Akko has done a good job of picking stock shortcut keybindings that make intuitive sense on both of the boards I have reviewed from them. It is worth noting that the Escape, Windows, Right Alt, and Function Keys cannot be rebound under any circumstances, and some of the default function shortcuts cannot be remapped. These non-remappable shortcuts primarily control the backlight and wireless functionality of the keyboard. On the other hand, media controls and other miscellaneous shortcuts can be rebound. Also worth noting is that the wireless functionality switch on the back of the keyboard must be switched off to upgrade the keyboard's firmware. Overall, I like the Akko 3068B a lot and feel very comfortable recommending it as a starter 65% keyboard. ... show more
