unnoticed because this board is not impressive, that's simple. I bought this once, 5075 kit, and sell it after 1 week because the snap in pivot is very weak and very easy to break, the gasket mount is sucks and the way they design it with the bottom case is kind of stupid, I've never seen any board has this kind of bad design, you CAN NOT add any kind of foam under the PCB if you want to mod, you just only can do tape mod, because slightly thick foam can make it's hard to snap in the top case and bottom case, what a bad design I need to repeat this, don't know why still some people give good review for this board.

@@jessijam5385 Not every keyboard needs case foam. The purpose of case foam is to remove hollowness, so if a keyboard isn't hollow why add foam? The GMMK Pro also has almost no room for case foam when tape modded and almost no flex with gasket mount the same goes for the GMMK2 and Feker IK75 (what's flex) almost no space for tapemod + case and yet those are popularly reviewed. I am not saying this a good board and I do think the V1 is better but your point about case foam is kinda weak, not every keyboard needs the same mods.

For exactly the same price as the IK75v3 it's pretty good! Great if you want a more flexy board from a brand with more reputation, that said the IK75v3 is 3 mode wireless. But Akko seems to have more padding in the form of included silicon on the bottom so if you know you prefer that type of sound and don't care about wireless that pushes Akko ahead a bit.
