The Akko 3068B is a 65% keyboard kit. I got the Black & Pink version of the board with Akko CS Jelly Pink switches. I primarily used the 3068B with a PC running Windows 10, but I also confirmed that it works over Bluetooth with my Pixel 3 running Android 12. The Akko 3068B shipped in a black cardboard box with a pink and black slipcover. The 3068B is pictured on the front of the slipcover, in addition to text specifying the chosen keycap profile and color scheme. There is also a sticker that denotes the hot-swappable nature of the 3068Bs printed circuit board (PCB). The Akko logo and Akkos social media links and corporate contact information are provided on the sides of the slipcover. A sticker denoting the selected switch type is also found on the top side of the slipcover. Finally, a diagram of the 3068B identifying the boards shortcut keys is featured on the back of the slipcover. Inside the box, the keyboard is stored in a polyethylene bag, which is seated inside a foam cutout. The top of the board is covered by a clear plastic cover. Besides the board itself, the package included a user manual, keycap puller, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a variety of novelty keycaps. The 3068B also includes a selection of additional modifier keycaps in alternative colors and sizes for use with other keyboards. This is a nice touch. The Akko 3068B has a plastic case with a thick bezel and rounded corners. The case is very heavy for a plastic board. The keyboard has a recessed USB-C port on the left side of the board. The bottom of the board has collapsible plastic feet with rubber caps. On the opposite side of the back of the Akko 3068B from the USB-C port is a toggle switch for the keyboards wireless functionality. This switch was not aligned correctly on my unit and required more force and finagling than should be necessary to switch on or off. It also did not lock fully into the On position, though the wireless functionality worked perfectly in both the Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz modes. I used the 3068B at my desk 1–1.5 meters from my computer, so I do not have a real sense of the limits of the wireless range. The keyboard does go into a power-saving sleep mode when using the 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth modes and requires a second or two after an initial input to wake up and begin registering keystrokes. The layout is slightly more horizontally compressed than feels natural to me. I sometimes had an issue reaching for the Backspace key and hitting the Tilda key instead. I also do not understand why 65% keyboards typically opt to include Page Up and Page Down as two of the default options in the rightmost column of keys. Thankfully, this can be rebound in the Akko Cloud software. However, I greatly appreciate having dedicated arrow keys. The keycaps are Doubleshot PBT in Akkos ASA profile. ASA uses roughly the same height as OEM keycaps but with spherical tops. I like this profile a lot, but I think I narrowly prefer Epomakers slightly lower-profile GSA profile. The outlines of letters and symbols are very sharp, and the keycaps feel both smooth to the touch and robust in terms of build quality. There are three indicator LEDs on the right bezel. The topmost light identifies the status of CAPS LOCK, and the bottommost light identifies whether the Windows key is locked, but I could not discover what purpose the middle light serves. As with the Akko 3061 I previously reviewed, the RGB lighting, while consistent, is not as bright as on other boards in its price range. These include those from MarvoDIY or even the various SK/GK rebrands I have used. The LEDs are north-facing. With the Akko CS Jelly Pinks, the Akko 3068B has a deep, thoccy sound profile. The board sounds excellent out of the box, with just a hint of hollowness. That said, it is definitely on the louder side. The 3068B has the best stock stabilizers I have used on any budget board. There is little to no rattle on any of the stabilizers. I did not find it necessary to perform any mods on them, which is a first for any of the review units Ive received. The 3068B uses Akkos Cloud software for key rebindings, macros, and LED lighting customization. I did not use this software during my review period, as I was satisfied with the stock shortcuts. Akko has done a good job of picking stock shortcut keybindings that make intuitive sense on both of the boards I have reviewed from them. It is worth noting that the Escape, Windows, Right Alt, and Function Keys cannot be rebound under any circumstances, and some of the default function shortcuts cannot be remapped. These non-remappable shortcuts primarily control the backlight and wireless functionality of the keyboard. On the other hand, media controls and other miscellaneous shortcuts can be rebound. Also worth noting is that the wireless functionality switch on the back of the keyboard must be switched off to upgrade the keyboards firmware. Overall, I like the Akko 3068B a lot and feel very comfortable recommending it as a starter 65% keyboard.

Search and read the other reviews for this issue. Power switch was crooked, required too much force…I tried to live with it but eventually it just stopped turning on. Otherwise a decent starter keyboard if you put in some work. Not too creaky, decent set of caps, and solid Bluetooth connection…the included 2.4ghz dongle is a laggy broken mess however, tested on three different computers. Oh and the lube was EVERYWHERE. Very thin and messy, had to be cleaned off of one key because it was getting stuck in the goop. Fixable but annoying.

I’m glad I purchased this keyboard very good quality Worth your money

I have been on a hunt to find hotswap boards at a relatively good price. This option is great for beginners like me and I got the black/cyan colorway with Akko cs jelly pink switches. They are quite smooth and pretty fun to type on. I ordered some new tactile switches to go with this board instead and they are going to be great (Zealios v2) As far as this product goes, it is an absolute 10/10. The build quality is excellent with little to no flex at all. I also like that it comes with extra keycaps to replace and customize the board however you like it ( There was about 20 different keycaps). Stabilizers are lubed, nice and sturdy with no rattle noise whatsoever. The sound quality is like music to ears, with lubed witches it is even better. In summary, it is a great product for under 100 dollars and it is definitely not a waste of money. Great option for beginners and for those who are into keyboards in general

Love the keyboard, but guess mines came with an unresponsive spacebar. First mech board too.

This is my first keyboard. I got because of the overall great recommendations as a high-quality starter keyboard for those wanting to get into the mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. It’s easy to handle and easy to mod. Especially for me as a beginner with no experience in lubing switches, packing foam, everything that has to do with taking apart intricate pieces of hardware and putting it back to its functional form. Great keyboard, just don’t let the RGB on overnight because that’s how I got a fried piece of hardware that I had to return and exchange it for a new one. Oh and it’s wireless so it’s worth it anyways.

i love this keyboard between the way it sounds and looks its just amazing all in all. one thing to keep in mind is that the caps can take a little force to take off. other then that this is an amazing product and its better then any corsair or ASUS keyboard because Ive owned those and this is better and cheaper.

My son told me he loved this thing, but sadly it broke about 3 months after I got it for him. For how expensive this is it should have lastest a lot longer.

All the features - such as, but not limited to, hot-swappable, on-board memory, multiple connection profiles - add incredible value to this keyboard, especially for the price! I keep it plugged into my personal computer to use wired and then switch to one of the Bluetooth profiles to connect to my work laptop while Im working remotely. This allows for me to use macros that are saved to the boards memory while working as well. The battery lasts throughout the full work day before I switch back to the wired connection for my personal use at nights. I personally didnt like the sound of the stock switches, but I had already planned on swapping them out for Kailh Silent Pinks unless I was blown away by the stock ones. The keycaps feel great to type on. I wouldve loved to get the Ocean Star version for that color scheme, but it wasnt available when I was making my purchase.

This is a great keyboard dont get me wrong. I was unlucky and one of the switches on my keyboard was faulty. But this was redeemed by including tools with the keyboard for swapping them out. The value of parts exceeds the price they sell them for which is very well to consider. This is a perfect starter board for a 65% keyboard. The switches also come pre-lubed, maybe a little too much on mine but they were definitely lubed.
