Akko: mechanical and magnetic keyboards with UK layouts

Shopping at AKKO? See all current AKKO discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

Akko is a keyboard brand from Shenzhen, founded in 2016. It makes mechanical and magnetic-switch keyboards, its own switches and keycap sets, and more recently gaming mice and headsets. Its European shop, akkogear.eu, can show prices in pounds and sells several boards in the UK ISO layout, so you get a proper pound sign and Enter key. It suits gamers who want adjustable magnetic switches, typists who like a soft, creamy-sounding board, and anyone who wants a colourful or character-themed setup.

Most UK orders are shipped from Akko's warehouse in China, as its German warehouse doesn't deliver to the UK, so allow time for delivery. Keyboards come with a two-year parts warranty and a 30-day return period, though you pay return postage if you simply change your mind.

Prices can change and some variants sell out, so check the layout and warehouse option on each product page.

If you're new to custom keyboards, the size names refer to how many keys are kept. A 65% board like the MOD68 drops the number pad and function row but keeps the arrow keys, while full-size boards keep everything. Akko also sells plenty of themed boards, mice and headsets featuring licensed anime and cartoon characters, which are a fun choice for a gaming desk or a present.

How to save more

• Check the warehouse on each variant. Only stock shown as shipping from the China warehouse can be sent to the UK.
• Buy a keycap set or switches to refresh a keyboard you already own, rather than replacing the whole board.
• If you buy from a sale, keep the packaging until you're happy. Change-of-mind returns are accepted within 30 days, but only with the original box and accessories.
