Akko Shows Off Resin Keyboard & Colorful Cat Keycaps at CES 2025

Akko can be relied upon to bring splashes of color and zany printed graphics to trade events. A TechPowerUp staffer was refreshed—after poring over countless boxy products all day—by an assortment of the peripheral specialist's quirky keyboards, keycaps and oddball mice. Akko's YU01 "Jade" keyboard—comprised of a resin-crafted case and transparent PC plastic keycaps—drew plenty of interest from CES attendees. The opaque properties of this resin material produced some interesting results when combined with the YU01's internal RGB lighting—almost hypnotic when in motion. The chosen keycap font may offend purists, but Akko's design team has clearly gone for that unique factor.

The Akko Colorful Cats keycap set is destined to boost cuteness on any compatible keyboard—a 100% layout was showcased in Las Vegas. The (fittingly named) MAO profile sports a cat-ear shaped design. Akko's Bun Wonderland keycap set was visible on two keyboards—full-size/100% and 75% layouts. There are a variety of baked good graphics emblazoned across these "MOG Mushroom-style" profile keycaps—TPU observed all sorts of baguettes, biscuits, bits of toast, pretzels and bakeshop paraphernalia printed on PBT material.
The confusingly named "Cat Mouse" product range was in full force next to Akko's keyboard section—TPU also noticed two Capybara mice mixed in with the feline-themed pointer devices. A "Fortune Cat" special edition was positioned right in the middle of the pack.

These cute 2.4 GHz wireless mice are geared towards everyday usage—minimal specification info implies that hardcore gaming is not on the cards.

Prediction: The Cat Mice are going to sell like candy, provided they do a half decent job with the marketing. In most of Asia they won't even have to promote them very much, just send a few to influencers and kick back and relax while the money comes in.

So effortlessly cute, yet totally unusable for me, who cannot touch-type.

Mice are cute too.

That wasn't my first thought when I saw it - my first thought was it looked like someone 3D printed a keyboard, and then for whatever reason decided to bake it in the oven for about an hour at 400 degrees - but now that you mention it....it...kinda does and I find that thought horrifying :cry: :fear:
