What is Akko? Understanding Akko Vietnam

Akko is a rising gaming gear brand from Taiwan. The name Akko is gradually becoming more familiar to gamers and mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. Akko targets the mid to low price range, under two million VND, but unlike dare-u, e-dra, or even ikbc, Akko takes a different approach, aligning with their slogan “touch the fashion.” Color seems to be a top factor in Akko’s products, with intricate designs, images, and color combinations for keycaps and mouse shells. Akko can be seen as a budget version of well-known brands like Ducky or Varmilo. However, colors alone are not enough; technical specifications and pricing will also impress you.

1. Mechanical Keyboards

Akko develops its own switch line called Akko, offering a wide range of switch types comparable to Cherry. For those still unconvinced, there are also Cherry switch versions for the best quality and durability.

Equipped with detachable cables and USB Type-C ports on all models, with sizes ranging from mini to full-size.

Products with Bluetooth can connect to three devices quickly and easily with just a few steps, providing ultimate convenience and stability. Akko’s attention to detail is evident in the smallest aspects, such as the eye-catching packaging with separate compartments for the keyboard and accessories, including a clear plastic cover, key puller, and a set of keycaps.

But most importantly, what sets Akko apart is the variety of keycap sets. Inspirations range from sunrise horizons, blue oceans with white waves, the Land of the Rising Sun with Mount Fuji, koi fish, cherry blossoms, and more. Everything you love can be on your keycaps. Using high-quality PBT keycaps with laser printing or double-shot techniques, they are unique and resistant to fading.

You can choose from retro models like Retro 9009, the powerful Worldtour Tokyo, or unique sets like Horizon or Ocean Stars, all priced attractively from 1.45 million VND to 1.89 million VND.

2. Gaming Mice

Like keyboards, Akko’s mice offer a variety of colors and performance suitable for both office work and gaming. Mice with names like Hamster or designs inspired by the ZOWIE EC series, equipped with the PWM3325 sensor and priced under 600,000 VND, will surely make you a Super Saiyan in any game with their Goku-Vegeta inspired designs.

Currently, Akko’s products are priced very reasonably, offering attractive designs and quality on par with high-end products.

3. Some notes on internal components in AKKO keyboard names

- Akko keyboards come in 4 sizes: 68 keys (3068), 84 keys (3084), 87 keys (3087), 108 keys (3108)

- Product lines are named after keycap color schemes, most of which come in all 4 sizes:

  +Horizon

  +Ocean Star

   +9009 Retro

  +World Tour – Tokyo

  +Pink

  +Black

   +Midnight

   +Silent

   +Dragon Ball Z

   etc.

- Within the same series, the more keys a keyboard has, the more expensive it is, but the price difference is not significant (100k-300k). Therefore, people's choices mainly depend on personal preferences and needs.

- Meaning of some symbols in product names: SP = Special, DS = Double Shot, SA, OSA, DSA = names of keycap profiles, S = Shine,

- Most series use Cherry switches. The exception is the World Tour – Tokyo and Dragon Ball Z series, which use AKKO switches, which are also of good quality.
