Love em!

I have the Akko Alice Pro. Definitely some getting used to compared to a standard layout - especially if you don't already touch type.

I found that I had a bad habit of pressing the 'y' key with my left index finger instead of my right. You can't really do that on this board.

That said, after the adjustment period, my WPM went up significantly. Definitely my favorite board.

I love the look of the badge on the right, but I don't get it. Those three keys are super useful for me.

Your rows look suspiciously like all the diodes go in series.

Is there any adjustment period or does it not really take that long to get used to? She’s a real beauty indeed and Keychron just released their V8 which looks similar!

Akko ACR Pro Alice? I love the custom badge.

17% kb. Fresh.

Note the huge size of this gigantic macropad compared to the keyboard above it. Here is a better photo for comparison: https://kbd.news/Noritsu-Z025892-01-1296.html

Magniv!

But the difference is that those you usually use aren't made for high cycle lifes, usually don't last very much. All potential switches I'd consider using are 1M+ life cycles.

edit : the vast majority of switches I can use are clicky, but can be made silent.

The top plate is totaly custom, you can literally put any graphics you want over it.

0.5mm travel a nightmare? How many 0.5mm travel keyboard devices have you used that proved to be a nightmare to use?

Yes, Mechanical switches, quite a few to choose from too actually.

I understand you have tunnel vision on current mechanical keyboards, but that doesn't mean it's the only possible sort of mechanical keyboard that can exist. Be open to new designs.

edit : How many of them have NKRO? touchscreens are 0gf needed to activate, this isn't anything like that.

That is really cool. I have some guitar pedals with a similar finish. Over in that land of never ending purchases and details, they call it a hammertone finish.

Keycapless? Where's the fun in that? One less thing modifiable. I can't imagine most in here would want a board you can't change caps on.

0.5mm travel? That would be a nightmare to type on. Not much better than a touchscreen, surely.

Is this even a mechanical keyboard?

A “lion grazing”?!?! Grazing on f*cking what?!?!

I agree. Nothing has much more potential than OnePlus. However, in terms of marketing and reputation, OnePlus is a bigger company now than Nothing after all.

The "tact switches" that you get on a lot of devices are essentially the same in this respect. They're crazy tactile but don't really move a lot.

but then it wouldn't be a mechanical keyboard wouldl it? ;)

I haven't revealed which kind of switch I'll be using yet, I'm speaking with a manufacturer for a batch before proceeding to buy bulk. There will be 10 or so switch options when the design will be finished. I'm going to start compiling a list of potential switches.

Oh right! Odds are low-profile, even number models are regulars. Thanks!

.5mm travel? That's interesting, what kind of switches are used for that? Almost sounds like you may as well type on a touchscreen.

Thanks! I think k8 is regular profile, while k1 is low-profile

Congrats! Do you know the difference of K8 and K1?

What keycaps are those? Looking clean!

To be really honest, I have a degree in industrial engineering and most of it was already acquired knowledge.

Here were my sources for information, extract from it what you can, it should help out. If you need anything, just shoot me a DM.
