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 Adam Ross

This is debatable, I understand why companies don't want them to make fakes to match their clothes, phones or other designs, but it's a complete rip off of a GMK laser 3 times cheaper and hardly noticeable difference in quality. I think GMK and their designers need to up their game (literally making their designs harder to copy with things like complicated underlays or copyrighted logos on their new releases). So why give five stars? Akko included an excellent set of key holders which I will oddly use to store other GMK keycaps. I'll probably keep these keycaps as placeholders (which is why they're currently used on my keyboard) and throw them in a ziploc bag at some point. The quality is also surprisingly good for the price. At first glance, you might think that these are real things. There are also enough keycaps included to fit just about any keyboard layout imaginable (except maybe ortholinear) - this set works for both 65% and 75%, as well as anything up to full size keyboards. In case you're wondering how I think this differs from real GMK keycaps - the feel is a little smoother and the pressure between the keycaps is a lot less consistent and less harsh, but only if you bring your face right against the keycaps. You can still read the imprint. The back of the keycaps (the cross-shaped design that holds the keycaps to the switches on the keyboard) is very inconsistent, but not so much that one of the keycaps noticeably wobbles or falls off the keyboard. Some people might not like the fact that some of the top prints on the thicker parts of the legends and drawings are oddly shiny, almost like there are stickers on the keycap, but I think that's more of a mismatch. what you see in all photos. If you just want unique looking keycaps without putting them under a magnifying glass to check their overall quality, or paying hundreds of dollars to find the original (if you can at all); Anything is possible with this set. I wish Akko would keep doing this, but with their own unique designs, I don't think the controversy should continue.
