For only $90?? Insane

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 3068Bs printed circuit board (PCB). The Akko logo and Akkos 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 boards 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 keyboards 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 Akkos 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 Epomakers 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 Ive received. The 3068B uses Akkos 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 keyboards firmware. Overall, I like the Akko 3068B a lot and feel very comfortable recommending it as a starter 65% keyboard.

Good product, the presentation of the packing was very nice too. I love the design and quality

Probably the best keyboard i’ve ever owned at this price point, and super thocky right out of the box which is probably my favorite part. The key supports are solid no wobble, all the keys are responsive and don’t feel sticky, it just looks great, the key caps are super high quality. The case looks and weighs like it’s metal but feels plastics that’s the only ‘downside’ i’ve found so far. Other than that, this is a GREAT budget keyboard and I highly suggest this to anyone needing a decent gaming keyboard around this price (picked mine up for about $80)

This keyboard feels like its worth twice what I paid for it. Its far better than any keyboard marketed for gaming Ive ever used thats for sure.

Like one of the other reviews mentioned, the keys on my new board would skip or be dead not even 5 hours into using it. I experienced this with my A key which is really frustrating considering I can’t play games without ASWD. When we reached out they said they would send replacement but I am worried a new one won’t solve the issue considering many of their keyboards have this problem. Its a good keyboard in all other senses but if it can’t even type is it considered a good keyboard? It isn’t that cheap of a keyboard price to begin with for it to have problems like this. I hope the manufacturer recalls their boards and actually fix this problem because it could be a good keyboard considering the facts.

Good but the wireless feature stopped working after a while probably because I opened it up a lot and modded it so it was probably my fault but really good

This is an incredible keyboard. The key caps are nice quality and the switches are amazing. This keyboard is very good in stock form, so you don’t really need to mod it if you do not want to. I do wish rgb was a little brighter, but just a minor inconvenience.
