Great budget gaming keyboard. A bit of a loud one I might add but very responsive. Basic design. This have been used daily and works very well. Good quality and durable.
I will be switching this out with my son’s Razor keyboard, ATM he has a fully blackset up but has now decided he wants to change to white ! This is perfect and great size for the desk, Comes with two bags of buttons to mix things up and mess about with the colour scheme or to customise some of the keys.
For me I think it’s refreshing to be able to get a really decent mid range mech keyboard in an ISO UK layout without any hassle, which this one is. The mechanical feedback is as good as I expected from a 100 keyboard, and I’m really pleased that it features push-fit switches so I can customise them later. The real shocker for me is the rotary dial that doubles as a push button – I never would have guessed how much I would end up using this to fine tune volume, play, pause etc, but it’s every single day. The action is smooth and the responsiveness is fantastic. I’ve only really used this over USBC so I can’t comment on the BT experience, the RGB lighting similarly, I’ve stuck with preset so far, I prefer subtle backlighting for dark mode and it works well..
This keyboard has a really good action to it, a loud solid click which is quick and accurate with multiple strokes. There are multiple connection options with 2.4ghz, BT and USB, there is also a selector switch behind where you choose from Windows, Mac or USB, I’ve only tried Windows.
Its smaller form is very good and the volume dial and function buttons work very well. The leds are quite bright but you can choose a colour scheme that works best, I’ve always liked glowing keyboards.
The downside to mechanical keyboards is the noise which is even picked up on my noise cancelling expensive gaming mic, this is loud but its the same with mechanical boards, like this one, they provide the best feedback. Looking at this from a layman’s point of view it’s a very expensive keyboard but from a gamer it’s a very good keyboard with excellent feel.
Firstly, I have used this gaming keyboard whilst gaming and also for doing work on my PC. The keyboard was easy to set up and feels sturdy and of high quality. The keys were comfortable and very nice to type with and has a nice feel to it. The keyboard also comes with quite a bit of accessories as well. All in all this is a high quality keyboard which feels comfortable to type with and it is very satisfying to game with as well as work.
The Akko 5075B Plus is a great keyboard, especially for the price. It’s well-built, comfortable to type on, and has a lot of features that you’d expect from a more expensive keyboard.
I love that it’s hot-swappable, so I can easily change the switches to match my preferences. The RGB lighting is also really cool, and you can customize it to your liking. One of my favourite things about this keyboard is that it’s very versatile. I can use it with my computer, laptop, tablet, and even my phone. This makes it a great keyboard for people who are on the go. It’s super durable and feels like it’s built to last.
The keys are made of high-quality PBT plastic, so they won’t shine through after heavy use and he typing experience is amazing, thanks to the hot-swappable switches and comfortablekeycaps.
This keyboard feels like its made from good quality products and i love the subtle tactile keys with the yellow switch which sounds and feel really nice. The only issue i’ve found is that the LEDs seem to be a little off colour, for example, if i pick a red in my software, it shows as a pink/orange rather than a red, so not too easy to get a nice pink light. Overall really nice everyday keyboard 4.5/5
This expensive keyboard comes in average-looking packaging which seems a bit poor considering the price of the product. Compared to Razer or Corsair premium stuff it’s a bit unimpressive. It keeps the contents well protected though, so there’s that.
These are my main likes and dislikes for this product:
Like:
Nice styling
Great typing experience
Three ways to connect
Excellent accessories
‘Rotary knob’ can be useful
Dislike:
Battery life is average at best using backlight
A bit heavy
Unimpressive packaging
————-
This is basically a top of the line compact gaming keyboard. It is highly customizable, indeed that is the main selling point. It is heavy for its size and will need to be used on a stable surface. I tried using it in my lap and it was not a comfortable experience.
The keys are perfectly weighted for super-fast multikey games like OSU!, but 1st person shooters will also work perfectly once you get used to the key feel.
For general typing it is also great, as any premium keyboard should be. You get 84 keys with the standard compact layout, which is surprisingly easy to get used to. It conforms to the ISO-UK standard, as well as having a ‘rotary knob’ (dial) which can be set to different uses.
The fact that this is wireless does not seem to have any effect on the speed, it feels just as responsive as a wired keyboard, even using Bluetooth. The Cherry Profile PBT switches used are a good standard gaming switch and feel lovely no matter what you are doing.
The styling on this is quite dramatic and slightly retro, which I personally like. The typing sound is not annoying to other people, and certainly not to the user. In terms of long typing sessions, this is very comfortable and gives great typing feedback, so you can type faster with less force, reducing RSI (theoretically).
The included accessories and tools are great, providing everything you need to customize and repair your keyboard, which gives it a nice bit of longevity, another benefit of mechanical keyboards.
The RGB backlighting works very well, great for typing in the dark (which I do a lot due to headaches from bright lighting). It also has the usual rainbow rippling effects, which of course I don’t use.
Now to the pricing. It isn’t cheap. It is currently priced at 112.99 but there is an Amazon voucher which takes it down by 10%. That’s still over 100, which might seem crazy but you can get similar keyboards costing twice the price. Personally I feel that considering the quality of the whole package it’s probably worth about 90 – 100, so I’m not going to mark it down on price.
I would say if the styling grabs you and you need a wireless/bluetooth board then this is definitely worth a look, particularly if it drops in price near christmas. For 80 or less it would be a five-star bargain. As of right now, it’s four stars.
Being in the gaming world means the right gear is essential. This mechanical keyboard, apart from looking stylish in black and silver, offers versatile connectivity. Switching between Bluetooth modes and USB-C wired was seamless. The multi-media rotary encoder was especially useful during my gaming sessions, allowing quick volume adjustments. The RGB lighting added a fun touch to late-night gaming. The switches have a responsive feel, offering quick key execution. One piece of advice: take advantage of the supplementary keycaps to get thedesiredlayout.
I now have a new office space with a micro pc and I wanted a mini keyboard because the space is small and a large keyboard really isn’t required.
The kit is quite expensive, but quality is quite amazing, there a different sets of keys so you can set your own styles which is incredibly unique for a keyboard.
The instructions are straight forward and clear and it doesn’t take long to have the keyboard redesigned to a new style.
The product is also very good, decent responsiveness and the keyboard meets my needs for my office space, I don’t play games using the keyboard because the quality of the keyboard is excelldnt I would not be surprised if it can handle games easily.
Recommended.
For gaming, this 75% mechanical keyboard is very good – it takes up minimal space on the desk, the keypress response is almost instantaneous, and who can forget the typical RGB lighting for gamers.
Compared to my other 75% keyboards, this Akko keyboard feels like it is much higher quality – good weight to it and the keys seem pretty durable too.
Feels quite comfortable typing on this – I was easily able to transition between a full sized keyboard and 75% keyboards without any issues.
It’s also not as noisy as other keyboards too, due to its tactile design.
Very easy to set up – it works straight away as soon as you connect it without any additional drivers required.
It can be used in either a wireless or wired mode.
The hot-swappable keys are a brilliant feature to have – it allows users to customise their keyboard to their liking, which I was a fan of.
Good value at 112.99 for a compact, mechanical gaming keyboard.
I appreciate the price is probably going to dissuade a lot of people however mechanical keyboards are generally pricey and for the price of this keyboard it isn’t excessive. Yes it is from a brand that has probably never been heard of so this may be an issue but sometimes you have to take a chance.
I really do like this keyboard, the keys feel great, they have a nice click to them as you would want from a mechanical keyboard, it is responsive and really does give you the impression that it has been built to last in my opinion.
Mechanical keyboards are not for everybody but if you’re in the market for one then definitely cast your eye over this one.
This is a very solid mechanical keyboard. It has a hefty to it. It feels lovely to type on and you can turn the silly RGB lights off. What more do you need. Great stuff.
It can connect using Bluetooth, USB or the included dongle. This provides flexibility but I tend to prefer the dongle option. I find this gives a more solid connection than Bluetooth.
A little expensive but you get what you pay for. This thing is a tank. Thoroughly recommend.
Well first off you immediately get the impression this is a premium keyboard. The weight alone screams build quality. The main chassis is taut, rigid and has almost zero flex in it, overall it’s very solid.
The keys themselves have a good fit and finish to them. The keystrokes have a good reply and bounce back without any delay at all. If you’re used to mechanical keyboards then you’ll appreciate it. Honestly I tend to type faster on chiclet keyboards, but if gaming then mechanical is the way to go for me.
Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth, a 2.4ghz dongle or a direct USB-C wired connection which should cut down on response times if you’re a gaming god. The Bluetooth has three profiles and is easily switched by hotkeys.
You don’t need a driver to run this keyboard out of the box but trust me you’re likely going to want to download the driver package from the manufacturers website. The driver software allows you to have a far better control over the RGB lights, the side lights, the macros and the power options. You can control the lighting by the Fn keys on the keyboard, but the software is easier to use and have far more options. Once you set the desired settings they’re stored in the keyboard memory so you don’t need to have the driver software on every new machine you connect to. You can also update the firmware from the driver software package.
As a footnote, you might want to save the downloaded software package just in case the manufacturer ever stops hosting those drivers.
It’s a beautiful keyboard and very customisable. The macros alone mean this doesn’t have to be used as a standard keyboard, the keys can be mapped to perform a huge variety of automated tasks. You get some extra keys and a key puller, but suitable keys can be made, purchased or even 3D printed at home. There’s an entire sub-culture of keyboard fanatics and folk spend many hundreds of s building their ultimate dream keyboard. If it sounds of interest to you I’ll warn you now it’s a bit of a rabbit hole and some take it to the extremes; don’t say I didn’t warn you.
There’s a video attached that shows just two of the RGB light modes working. Two RGB profiles are like HiFi spectrum analysers that take the sound from your computer and map it to the keys. So excuse the music, but I needed to play something to illustrate it working. Each key is capable of displaying any RGB colour too. You can have the keys show a huge range of effects too from a ripple, spiral, wave etc. etc. etc. from any key that’s pressed, so as you type the keyboard can cascade the lighting effect from that particular keypress. Honestly there’s far too many effects to list here, this is just a taste.
If you’re into RGB stuff then this might be for you. So why do I say it’s likely aimed more at gamers or streamers? Because they tend to want the shorter response times of a mechanical keyboard and want to show off a little with dazzling RGB effects.
Decent keyboards command decent money and let’s be honest this is no different. It’s expensive for sure, but if that’s your thing then it might be worth it to you. Would a keyboard aficionado think was the best keyboard in the world? Probably not because they hadn’t built it from scratch themselves. Would the average keyboard hobbyist appreciate it? I think they might. I’m not such a hobbyist myself though but I can see and feel the build quality of this and it has a ton of customisation options.
In terms of usability this keyboard is great. It’s lovely to type on, they keys are perfectly balanced and have a nice amount of travel. The light functions are comprehensive and you should be able to get the option that’s perfect for your set up.
The instructions whilst going into detail about how to connect the keyboard and set the lights etc. fail to mention key information. For instance there are 3x LED lights on the right hand side. One is to indicate caps lock on/off but I have no idea what the others are.
Other than that it’s a good keyboard.

A good quality RGB mechanical Bluetooth wireless keyboard
I love this keyboard. The keys are well positioned so they are comfortable to type with and they make a great clicking sound when you press down on them – exactly what you want from a mechanical keyboard. I was also surprised at how fast I could type on the keyboard straight away, it is a similar size to my laptop keyboard which is good. The keys are very responsive and I haven’t had any problems with them sticking.
I have the black and silver keys, it comes with the black/dark grey set of keys in place, but you have additional white keys that you can swap in if you would prefer that. I actually like how it looks straight out of the box and think I will keep it like that but I do like the option to be able to modify it a bit. The adjustable heights are good, I find it most comfortable on the highest setting.
The instruction booklet could be clearer, but I managed to get it set up without too much trouble. There are some confusing bits and pieces included in the box which could confuse people who are not very familiar with mechanical keyboards like myself. I really like the different backlight options, I thought this would be distracting at first but it isn’t.
Highly recommended!
I have many keyboards, in my search for the best, for me.
This one seems to be about the closest I have come to a keyboard that makes me happy.
This is really a lovely keyboard to type on, there is a distinct click, but it is not loud, but it is obvious.
The pack comes with a bunch of extra bits:
– Extra white keys ( F keys, and some logo keys and extras )
– Alphabet and numbers in grey (for different languages etc)
– Key extractor
– Switch extractor
– Spare switches
– 4 rubber pieces
– Instructions
The white keys add some colour to the keyboard, however you cannot use 1/2 the keys since they are keys that are not on this keyboard, like to “enter” keys but not will not fit the keyboard.
The 4 white pictured keys are nice to use if you wish.
The grey keys seem to add the option to show extra key options, so if those options are what you are needing/after then you can take the time and swap them out.
The key extractor is really nice and easy to use.
The switch extractor is also easy to use, once you align it properly with the extraction holes on the switch.
No idea what to do with the 4 rubber pieces.
This keyboard is USB-C, wireless with a USB-A dongle and it is Bluetooth.
I am running mine in Bluetooth and it is working perfectly fine.
While setting up Bluetooth was easy for me, the instructions are a little less straight forward for reconnecting Bluetooth,
The manual is not the most helpful. I still have no idea how to check battery level, the manual instruction do not help.+ to see battery power level and should see red(low), orange(middle) or green(full) instead I see purple(?).
I press
The back lighting has a load option options and you will need to read the manual for that, and on this the manual is good.
NOTE: I am not impressed with battery life, the battery seems to last no more than a week and then needs a recharge. It is a bit frustrating pulling it out to do work and seeing the red flashing light only 5-6 days after charging. I am a moderate user of this keyboard, and if I used this as much as I intended to this will be flat in 3-4 days.
Pros:
– Lovely soft and responsive switches.
– Keys press is not that loud, and only a little louder than your average key type
– Spare switches
– Easy to remove and replace keys and switches
– Small/Compact
– USB-C / Wireless / Bluetooth
– Lots of RGB options
– Very customisable
Cons: for example.
– No idea how to check battery level
– Manual is OK, but good be more useful
– Lots of RGB options
– Some basic keyboard keys are missing,
Thing is I am really enjoying this keyboard right now and my standard keyboard which is a very nice one has been put to one side in favour of this one.
Overall, Compact, USB-C, Wireless or Bluetooth. Lovely keys with a soft press and not very loud click
