A few months back I reviewed the AKKO 3108 DragonBall Z Goku Mechanical Keyboard and it is certainly a very interesting keyboard. AKKO 3108 actually has a lot of versions or themes not just the DragonBall Z. There’s the AKKO 3108 Tokyo World, 9009 Retro, Beijing World Tour, Ocean Star, Horizon Skyline and others. But what’s good about it is that you can actually get just the keycaps of some of these keyboards separately if you don’t need the keyboard. One good example is the set of keycaps that we…

I know a lot of you are asking for this review for a few months now, so we’re finally doing it. We are going to do an unboxing and review of the Royal Kludge RK61.

Amongst all mechanical keyboard manufacters, Kailh is one of the innovative brand when it comes…
