Akko made its presence known at CES 2026 with two fresh keyboard models: the Air 01 and the Ray68 HE Magnetic. The Air 01, aimed at Mac users but compatible with other systems via tri-mode connectivity, boasts a CNC-machined aluminum build and low-profile switches mounted on silicone gaskets. Its PBT dye-sublimated keycaps and integrated RGB lighting aim for both durability and comfort.

Akko began promoting it last November, and it’s already in stores. The Ray68 HE Magnetic stands out with its 65% layout and AstroAim hall effect switches. Supporting five types of third-party magnetic switches, it features a DIY Lightbox with 500 Hz refresh rate and 8K polling.

Priced at $69.99 during CES, it undercuts its regular $96 listing. These releases come as mechanical keyboard enthusiasts seek performance and customization. Akko’s move reinforces its push into the premium gaming and productivity peripheral space, competing with brands like Keychron and NuPhy.
