Review on Akko World Tour Tokyo 87-Key TKL R1 Wired Gaming Mechanical Keyboard with Programmable OEM Profiled PBT Dye-Sub Keycaps, N-Key Rollover, and Akko 2nd Gen Pink Linear Switch by James Shavers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Balance between price and quality

I bought this keyboard just for the looks of the keys and didn't expect too much from the switch or the quality of the circuit board, but I have to say the The build quality of the keyboard is overall better than I expected, the only downside is that the notches of the F and J keys are damn low, sometimes my fingers hit the wrong key because of the lack of this indicator. I should add that some spare keys have broken and some switches tend to act like brown switches or some sticky thing stuck in them (with a step between action and travel, I don't know how to describe it) . In addition, this keyboard sounds fantastic, the quality of the keycaps is satisfactory and the quality of the switches is decent. One last note, the transition from Cherry MX Red switch keyboard to Akko Pink keyboard feels frustrating, Akko switches are too light, not too annoying when working, but sometimes I press keys without realizing it, put mine Fingers only on the keyboard while playing and I have very light hands. Finally need this keyboard? I would say it depends, are you from a higher quality brand? Then no. Is this your first mechanical keyboard? then yes. Do you like how it looks? Absolutely, it looks and sounds amazing!
