Akko Launches Year of the Snake Keyboard at IFA 2025

At the IFA 2025 event in Berlin, Akko, a global leader in peripheral devices, introduced its latest mechanical keyboard, the Year of Snake. Building on the success of last year's Year of the Dragon keyboard, this new model continues Akko's mission to blend cultural heritage with modern industrial design. The launch created significant excitement among gamers, brand enthusiasts, and media worldwide, highlighting Akko's leading role in innovation within the peripheral device industry.

The Year of Snake collection features three unique designs, prominently showcasing a legendary edition inspired by Xuanwu, a mythical figure embodying wisdom and protection in Chinese culture. Built with a CNC-machined aluminum case, intricate engraving techniques, and precision gasket mount construction, this keyboard exemplifies Akko's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. With its ergonomic Alice layout and high-quality switches, it not only tells a cultural story but also provides comfortable typing experiences, making it perfect for extended use.

Simultaneously, Akko is accelerating its innovations and international launch of its magnetic switch product line, highlighted by two flagship models, the M1 V5 TMR and MOD 007 V5 HE. Both products showcase esports-level response times and an enhanced typing and gaming experience. Importantly, these models will also be available in ISO versions, meeting the needs of international users. Akko's magnetic switch technology draws from both Hall Effect (HE) and Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) solutions, continuously being integrated into a wide range of keyboard layouts, including 60%, 68%, 75%, TKL, and Alice, catering to the diverse needs of competitive gamers and creators globally.

In addition to the magnetic switch technology, Akko also showcased two premium product lines during the IFA — the Gem and Mineral series. These products enrich the brand's design language, demonstrating Akko's ability to merge artistic aesthetics with advanced engineering solutions, offering users an entirely new level of experience. As Akko celebrates its ninth anniversary, the brand remains committed to its dual vision of drawing inspiration from traditional culture while embracing contemporary trends to drive product innovation. This places Akko at the forefront of developing and applying magnetic switch technology.

By merging heritage with innovation, Akko illustrates that keyboards are not only functional tools but also cultural expressions, efficient devices, and symbols of individuality. Akko warmly invites all visitors to the IFA 2025 event at Hall 5.2, Booth 143, to experience their latest innovations firsthand.
