Description

Rapid Trigger and Snap Key for fast movement

Rapid Trigger activates and resets a key with minimal travel, so repeated presses of the same key are quicker than on a standard mechanical keyboard. The actuation point and Rapid Trigger precision can be changed in 0.01 mm steps. Snap Key, Akko’s SOCD implementation, gives priority to the latest input for quick direction changes in shooters, and DKS lets one key carry four actions. An ARM Cortex-M4 processor calibrates the switches automatically.

Who this gaming keyboard is for

Competitive players who care about low latency and want a compact body that leaves more room for the mouse, and tinkerers who like to swap switches themselves. The keyboard supports five third-party magnetic switches, chosen from the list in the Akko driver and calibrated after the swap. The built-in DIY Lightbox lets you personalise the look of the keyboard.
