  • Are these $60 GMK Laser clones worth it? Should you spend double the money on the real thing? Pfft I dunno, watch this video and see what you think.

    Looking forward to the Akko ASA build! Your Akko Neon build looks really good, one of the best I have seen with that keycap set.

    I bought that Akko Neon set and I'm pretty happy with it! I actually main it more often than my SA Laser set.

    Personally the case is what really sold these for me. Having a 'safe' way to store the additional keys, or able to store a better set of keys, without worry of them getting scuffed is fantastic. While it's little more work than the shitty plastic bags GMK stuff comes in, I find it to be less wasteful and actually handy.

    For the love of god you and people int he comments bashing them for the case. that a brilliant move. instead of having all your keys messed up in shipment + having to bag the leftovers you get a nice and organised way to store them. f crying about time consuming? go solder some keyboards andtalk about time consuming

    • @Portly
      @Portly  Před 2 lety

      To be fair, you make a good point about the keys shipping without getting messed up. It is a nice case and I really liked it at first! Makes the set it a bit more premium feeling. It’s just annoying to deal with in the rare chance you’re someone that changes keycaps often for content creation.

    I mean on one hand, I like the font of the real GMK, on the other, I prefer and always will PBT. Akko makes great PBT keycaps. It is not about wear resistance or sound, PBT feels better to me. Also if you like taller keycaps Akko is pimping with the ASA profile option.

    Is there any interference with these keycaps with north facing LED keyboards?

    • @Portly
      @Portly  Před 2 lety

      It actually depends on the switch. Lots of switches nowadays will work ok with cherry profile caps. But yes, if using these with a switch that does have interference, these or any cherry profile caps will too

      @manicman7489 Před 2 lety +1

      @@Portly Thank you for your answer. I am looking into AKKO silver switches. I have heard because of their lower bottom out distance at 3mm it wont have any interference with cherry keycaps. I don't know how accurate that is but ill take my chances.

      @@PhoenixKid11 Have you tried taking it off? You should be able to take it off, membrane keyboards don't have the same keycaps as mechanical keyboards so you don't need something like a keycap puller.

    If you buy these clowncap clones you aren't an enthusiast. Gmk artists deserve to be paid for thier work
