Akko PC75B Plus V2

The Akko PC75B Plus V2 is a 75% mechanical keyboard that features a hot-swappable North facing LED PCB, Bluetooth and 2.4G connectivity, though it does not have a "pocket" for the USB transceiver, as well as per key and side RGB. Bluetooth offers slots for three devices, allowing for a total of up to 4 devices including the dongle. It is available loaded with either Akko CS Crystal or White Wine switches and in a handful of colorway, all loaded with Akko ASA double shot keycaps.

The PC75B Plus V2 is made of a polycarbonate case and plate. The keyboard has a top-mount design, which helps to deliver a uniform sound profile. The keyboard also features a knob that can be used to control the volume or reprogrammed via Akko's Cloud driver software.

Overall, this is a well built, solid keyboard. The potentiometer knob is somewhat loose and I personally believe it should be a metal stem rather than plastic, but other than that, I found no issues and enjoy using this keyboard. If you want to know more, my video review is linked below.
