Review on Akko Carbon Retro 158-Key ASA Profile PBT Double-Shot Full Keycap Set: Enhance Your Mechanical Keyboard Experience with Stylish Collection Box by Dhoal Black

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Generally good quality

Overall good quality. The colors are pleasant. Generally believed to be a clone of the GMK Laser, although the colors are slightly different. Still, it looks great. The quality of the material feels good and fits well. An added bonus is that it comes with a key puller. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done, which is good if you don't already have it. The ASA profile is good, a bit higher than the Cherry profile, but I personally like it better. Comes with a nice case with magnetic closure. The pins holding the keycaps hold up pretty well, annoying at times. There were a few keys that I had a hard time getting out, but that's not a problem. The case I received had a broken stem (not the one holding the cap) and was missing a magnet, but otherwise everything was fine. The keycap lettering looks fine except for my 2/@ key where the @ has a slight notch. Also, the Q button has a slight imperfection that's almost imperceptible. This is a fairly large keyset, with a large number of keys to suit a variety of keyboards. I have a complaint that there was only one 'home' key that didn't match my keychron k2's profile (75% charge), but I just used a different key with the correct profile. Also, this is just a generic key phrase, not specific to 75% of boards, so don't take credit for that, just mention it. Overall the quality is great and cheaper than the more expensive GMK kits if you are on a budget. Would buy again.
