Akko showed off a wide range of keyboards at last week's CES trade show, but the majority of products on display were already well known properties. The Chinese brand touted a refreshed M1 V5 TMR model for 2026 in pre-event press material, but the TechPowerUp team did not spot any specimens at the company's booth. We suspect that Akko had actually sold a fair few of its exhibited items to showroom visitors, by the time TPU staffers turned up in-person. Fortunately, two fairly new models were still sitting around for inspection purposes.

Starting with the sleek and slim Air 01 model—this low-profile mechanical keyboard has been prepped with Mac users in mind, although other platforms are supported via tri-mode connectivity. Akko has opted for precision CNC-machined aluminium construction, resulting in a premium feel combined with a sturdy feel yet lightweight property. The brand's latest low profile switches have been implemented on silicone gaskets—leading to a smooth typing experience. The Air 01 features PBT dye-sublimated premium keycaps. Apparently, the board houses an integrated RGB lighting system, but TechPowerUp did not take a moment time to fire up this decorative aspect. Akko started promoting their Air 01 low-profile model last November, with retail availability rolled out within a short timeframe.

Akko is best known as a manufacturer of keyboards, yet they do offer a couple of wireless mouse models—mostly shaped as cute cartoon animals. Unsurprisingly, the Chinese brand had its colorful selection of Cat-themed pointer devices on prominent display at last week's CES trade event. TechPowerUp noticed a couple of more sober-looking offerings positioned in front and to the side of Akko's chunky feline-profiled peripherals. As of early 2026, Akko has debuted brand-new Nest, Dash, and Framer wireless gaming mice models—showcased as standard black or white variants. The keyboard specialist has already released two symmetrical designs—under the Pulse 01 and AG ONE lines—but their latest wave branches off with two right-hand ergonomic shape options.

The flagship Nest model is advertised as offering "ergonomic control" over really long first-person shooter or MOBA gaming sessions. Its overall shape seems to be inspired by Zowie's popular EC range. MSRP is $89.99, but Akko was running a special launch priced promo during CES week. The lightweight (49 grams) Nest design is based around a custom implementation of Pixart's top-level PAW3950 optical sensor, paired up with a pair of high-performance Nordic MCUs. Specifically, the nRF52840 and nRF52820 chipsets have been deployed in order to enable ultra-stable wireless transmission and low-latency response. The Nest can support 8000 Hz polling rates across its 2.4G wireless and wired modes.
