Akko Unveils Year of the Snake Mechanical Keyboard at IFA 2025

In a stunning display of innovation at IFA 2025 in Berlin, the global peripheral device innovator Akko has officially launched its latest mechanical keyboard, the Year of the Snake. Following the success of last year's Year of the Dragon keyboard, which received overwhelming acclaim, this new addition to the collection showcases Akko's vision of intertwining cultural heritage with modern industrial design.

The presentation of the Year of the Snake keyboard attracted significant attention from gamers, enthusiasts, and media representatives from around the world, reaffirming Akko's position as a leader in peripheral device innovation.

The Akko Year of Snake collection features three unique designs, with the most iconic version drawing inspiration from Xuanwu, a mythological figure in Chinese culture symbolizing wisdom and protection. The keyboard is meticulously crafted using CNC machining with an aluminum alloy, showcasing elaborate engravings and a precisely tuned sealing structure, reflecting Akko's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. Coupled with an ergonomic Alice layout featuring a center elevation and premium Akko switches, this keyboard not only tells a cultural story but also ensures comfortable typing, ideal for extended use.

Simultaneously, Akko is accelerating the innovation and global rollout of its magnetic switch keyboard series, highlighted by two flagship models, the M1 V5 TMR and MOD 007 V5 HE. Both keyboards offer lightning-fast response times suitable for esports and elevate the overall experience for typing and gaming. A noteworthy aspect is that both models will be available in ISO versions, catering to the needs of international customers. Akko's magnetic switch technology currently employs both Hall Effect (HE) and TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) solutions, with additional layouts—including 60%, 68%, 75%, TKL, and Alice—being gradually introduced to meet the diverse demands of competitive players and creators worldwide.

In addition to the magnetic switch technology, Akko also introduced two new premium keyboard series at IFA: the Gem and Mineral Series. These lines enhance the brand's design language and exemplify Akko's ability to merge artistic aesthetics with advanced engineering, offering users an entirely new level of experience.

This year marks the ninth anniversary of Akko, and the brand remains committed to its dual vision of drawing inspiration from traditional culture and contemporary trends as the driving force behind product innovation. By blending tradition with innovation, Akko demonstrates that keyboards are not merely functional tools but also expressions of culture, pathways to achieving performance, and symbols of individuality.

Akko warmly invites all attendees at IFA 2025 to visit them at Hall 5.2, Booth 143, to experience all the latest innovations firsthand. For more details, please visit akkogear.eu or akkogear.de.
