So you have to gets keys seperately??
Never seen this before. It's sort of like getting a yoghurt but only getting container…. :)
It's just one part of a keyboard. Not only do you need keycaps but you'll also need switches.
Akko does also sell complete keyboards, for people who don't want the hassle of putting switches and keycaps in.
You have to get the keys and switches separately.
What's the total damage to get all keys and switches filled in? Thanks.
depending on the switches and keycaps, you're looking at around an extra $100-200
I bought my pre-lubed CS Silver switches from Akko Aliexpress store. Cost 22 USD
Or buy from Amazon (non-lubed) for around 20 AUD. There's currently a deal for CS crystal for $13.

Keycaps can be pretty cheap, there's a lot of variety but I think a full set starts from $15 and can go up to $30 if you want nicer materials.
@scrimshaw: can be over 100 for a set of good key caps, and thats before you even start looking at "artisan" crap. You absolutely do not need to spend anywhere near that though to have a high quality keyboard.
@scrimshaw: DAMN! I do like things pre-lubed but ….. Thanks for the information dude. this is a whole new world for me!
@Naigrabzo: Careful mate, it's a very expensive rabbit hole to fall into. Your YouTube recommendations will change immediately. Lots of folks got into the hobby during lockdown but it's eased off a bit since. And I say that as an outsider still looking at builds
This allows you to select the exact case, switches and keycaps you want. A number of better keyboards are sold like this.
There's a sale on the following akko switches via pccasegear with free shipping
Akko CS Air Switches 45 Pack - $15
cs air video showcaseAkko CS Snow Blue Grey Switches 45 Pack - $19
snow blue video showcaseYou will have to get 3 packs of either switches to fill the whole board in this deal.
went looking for tactile switches instead, came across this gem:
"On sale! (normally $19)" on a $22 listing.
also, there's an overwhelming selection of tactile switches, anyone have any recommendations for/against any of them?
Lavender Purple
Ocean Blue
Cream Blue
Cream Pro
Jelly Blue
Jelly Purple
Or anything else?I would have mentioned KTT as they manufacture the Akko switches, but you've specified tactile which is more or less in the same price range. (And I think they have like… two of.)
I believe the Gazzew Boba are a bit of a meme, however are very much out of the budget end of the spectrum.
There's also the MMD Princess at the budget end too, but the travel on those is a little short to what you may be used to. (3.1mm on the tactiles)
Where is the mmd princess sold ?
sounds too similar to anko …
Keep hoping Keychron would update their line up with Monsgeek undercutting them with reportedly better boards.
Black and Purple at the same price
