Akko Unveils the Year of the Snake Keyboard at IFA 2025

At the IFA 2025 in Berlin, Akko, a global innovator in the peripherals space, officially launched its latest creation: the Year of the Snake mechanical keyboard. Building on the success of last year's much-acclaimed Year of the Dragon, this new release continues Akko's vision of merging cultural heritage with contemporary industrial design. The introduction has captured the attention of gamers, enthusiasts, and media outlets worldwide, further solidifying Akko's position at the forefront of innovation in the peripherals industry.

The Year of the Snake collection will showcase three unique designs, with the most iconic version inspired by Xuanwu, a mythical figure in Chinese culture that symbolizes wisdom and protection. This keyboard sports a body made from precision-machined aluminum alloy, showcasing intricate engraving techniques and a meticulously tuned mounting structure, reflecting Akko's exceptional craftsmanship. Coupled with an ergonomic Alice layout and premium switches, it offers both a cultural narrative and a comfortable typing experience, ideal for extended use.

In addition to celebrating cultural richness, Akko is accelerating its innovations and global deployment of magnetic switch technology. This is highlighted by two flagship models: M1 V5 TMR and MOD 007 V5 HE. Both models boast esports-level responsiveness, offering a new standard in typing and gaming experiences. Notably, these two flagship models will also be available in ISO versions, catering specifically to international users. Akko's magnetic switch technology currently spans HE and TMR solutions and is steadily expanding to various layouts—including 60%, 68%, 75%, TKL, and Alice formats—to meet the diverse needs of competitive gamers and creators around the globe.

Additionally, Akko introduced two new premium product lines at IFA—Gem and Mineral series. These lines extend the brand's design language, showcasing Akko's ability to blend artistic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, providing users with a completely new level of experience. As Akko celebrates its ninth anniversary, the brand remains committed to a dual vision of drawing inspiration from traditional culture and modern trends to drive product innovation and lead the promotion and application of magnetic switch technology. By combining heritage with innovation, Akko proves that keyboards are not merely functional tools but also cultural expressions, performance instruments, and symbols of individuality.

Akko warmly invites all IFA 2025 attendees to visit Hall 5.2, Booth 143, to experience the latest innovations firsthand. For further information, please visit akkogear.eu or akkogear.de. Akko Year of the Snake
