Akko Introduces ISO Layout of Award-Winning Dragon Year Keyboard

Akko Launches ISO Version of the Dragon Year Mechanical Keyboard



In a compelling move for keyboard enthusiasts and professionals, Akko, a leading innovator in the realm of mechanical keyboards, has proudly announced the release of the ISO layout version of its celebrated MOD 007 HE Year of the Dragon keyboard. This latest offering is tailored specifically for users in Europe, featuring layouts for German, French, and UK keyboards.

Originally debuted in an ANSI design, the Dragon Year keyboard earned acclaim by receiving the prestigious Omdia Innovation Award during the IFA Berlin 2024, one of the largest consumer electronics events worldwide. Drawing inspiration from Qinglong, a mythical creature representing strength, renewal, and Eastern wisdom, the keyboard showcases a robust visual identity. Its design includes an anodized aluminum casing available in three striking tones, adorned with laser-engraved dragon scale textures and vividly sublimated keys depicting a majestic flying dragon, creating a remarkable blend of traditional Chinese culture and modern industrial aesthetics.

Functionally, this ISO version marks a pivotal advancement by introducing Akko's patented Astrolink magnetic switches. These switches are constructed to facilitate accurate and real-time input, enhancing the gaming experience and everyday productivity. Key features include adjustable actuation and reset points, Rapid Trigger technology, and SOCD (Simultaneous Open Circuit Detection) functions, allowing for high customization and responsiveness tuned to individual preferences.

To ensure a seamless user experience, the keyboard comes with additional ISO French and UK keysets, as well as a Mac-compatible kit, effectively providing complete plug-and-play compatibility across all operating systems without the need for extra purchases. As Akko approaches its brand anniversary in August 2025, the company is slated to expand its mythologically-inspired collection with the upcoming MOD Alice Year of the Snake, which pays homage to Xuanwu, the legendary black tortoise representing protection and wisdom in Chinese lore. This keyboard will feature the ergonomic Alice design alongside mechanical switch technology, continuing Akko’s signature fusion of culture and engineering excellence.

In addition to this exciting release, Akko is actively working on two new premium product lines called the Gem and Mineral series. Positioned in the mid-to-high-end segment, these collections emphasize advanced materials, sleek design, and performance-oriented features that appeal to both serious enthusiasts and professional users.

Founded in 2016, Akko has redefined PC peripherals by merging pop culture, craftsmanship, and engineering excellence. Renowned for its custom mechanical switches, vibrant keycap collections, and artistic flair, Akko's products are available in over 50 countries and cherished by keyboard enthusiasts worldwide.
