Akko has released the 5098 V5 mechanical keyboard in China featuring a design themed after the Lord of the Mysteries franchise. The board pairs a 98 key layout with tri mode wireless connectivity, an integrated control display, and gasket mounting. Buyers can secure the unit for 359 yuan (roughly $50 USD) after applying launch discounts.
The chassis incorporates a 98 key arrangement decorated with thematic artwork including gears, masks, and full graphic UV printing across the rear plate. Akko equips the board with MOA profile dye sublimation keycaps made from durable PBT plastic. Internal construction relies on a gasket mounted design featuring 5 separate dampening layers to reduce hollow typing sounds. The keyboard also integrates a PC mounting plate, per key slotted double sided circuit board, and hot swappable switch sockets.
Akko preinstalls its Piano mechanical switches, which feature built in light columns to amplify the integrated ARGB backlighting. A multifunctional digital screen and rotary knob sit in the top right corner for system adjustments. Power comes from 2 separate 4000mAh battery cells, delivering up to 88 hours of continuous use with backlighting turned off. Connection options include 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB C connections, with both the 2.4GHz and wired modes delivering a 1kHz polling rate.
