What customers say
The Akko 5087B Plus is highly praised for its exceptional typing experience and premium out-of-box feel, especially appealing to enthusiasts seeking value. Users consistently highlight the satisfying, deep sound profile achieved through quality switches and internal dampening. Its aesthetic, featuring the classic 9009 colorway, is a major draw. The inclusion of tri-mode connectivity offers reliable performance across devices, and the hot-swappable PCB simplifies customization. Availability in the ISO layout is a significant advantage for international users. While the accompanying software receives minor critiques, the keyboard’s superior physical build quality and overall performance solidify its status as a top entry-level contender.
Know before you buy
The ISO layout features a large, L-shaped Enter key and a slightly different bottom row compared to the standard ANSI layout common in North America. It is the standard configuration for many European regions, so ensure your typing habits or keycap sets align with this layout before purchasing.
Yes, the 5087B Plus features 5-pin hot-swappable sockets. This allows you to pull out the pre-installed Akko CS Wine Red switches and plug in most standard 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without needing any soldering tools.
You can switch between 2.4GHz wireless for low-latency gaming, Bluetooth 5.0 for multi-device pairing with tablets or laptops, and a wired USB Type-C connection. The keyboard can store multiple Bluetooth profiles, allowing you to toggle between different devices easily.
The keycaps are made from PBT plastic using a double-shot molding process. This ensures the legends will never fade or wear off, and the material is highly resistant to the shine that often develops on cheaper ABS keycaps over time.
Yes, the keyboard features north-facing RGB backlighting that can be adjusted directly via onboard shortcuts. While it offers a variety of lighting effects, please note that there are no dedicated programmable keys for custom macro assignments.
These are linear switches, meaning they provide a smooth, consistent keystroke without a tactile bump or audible click. With an actuation force of 45gf, they offer a balanced feel that is light enough for fast typing but substantial enough to prevent accidental key presses.
