help Akko MOD 007B FAQ

Does the Akko MOD 007B support wireless Bluetooth connectivity?

Yes, the MOD 007B features a tri-mode connection, allowing you to connect via a 2.4GHz wireless dongle, standard Bluetooth, or a wired USB-C cable. The wireless functionality makes it incredibly versatile for keeping a clean desk setup or switching between multiple devices. You can easily toggle between different Bluetooth profiles using keyboard shortcuts.

Are the switches on the Akko MOD 007B hot-swappable?

Yes, the keyboard comes with a hot-swappable PCB, meaning you can pull out the stock switches and push in new ones without any soldering. This allows you to easily experiment with different tactile or linear switches from brands like Cherry or Gateron. You simply use a switch puller to change the typing feel in a matter of minutes.

What is the typing sound profile of the MOD 007B?

Thanks to its gasket mount design and the inclusion of foam dampening inside the case, the MOD 007B produces a very desirable, deep 'thocky' sound profile. The gasket mount allows the plate to flex slightly upon bottoming out, softening the impact and deepening the acoustic resonance. It completely avoids the harsh, metallic ping common in cheaper mechanical keyboards.

What keycap profile does the Akko MOD 007B use?

The keyboard typically comes equipped with high-quality PBT keycaps in an OEM or Cherry profile. PBT plastic is highly resistant to shining from finger oils over time, making it much more durable than standard ABS plastic. The keycaps are fully compatible with standard MX-style stems, giving you endless customization options.
