Packaging and Accessories


Packaging is on the simpler side here and very reminiscent of the Aukey keyboards we saw before. We are greeted by a plain cardboard box with no wrap over it, but, rather, printing directly on the cardboard itself, which is a cost-savings measure. I personally don't mind, noting that this is aimed at a lower price point relative to others, and it does the job as far as protection during shipping and handling goes. The company logo is on the front, along with the number six inside what presumably somehow translates as an X. Regardless, the company contact information and website are on the back along with a confirmation that this was indeed made in China. There are no seals on the box, but side flaps and another in the center help secure the contents inside.


Opening the box, we see the keyboard in a translucent plastic wrap. Underneath is a multi-language manual that goes over the pre-programmed secondary functions which help make this act as a TKL keyboard with the use of layers. I strongly recommend keeping the manual around for at least a week to be sure you know where each keystroke and function is, although the keycaps do a decent job here as we will see soon. ACGAM also includes a mini-CD that contains the installer for the driver, and thankfully, you can also download it from their website as I suspect many do not have a CD drive to use anymore. The other accessories are in a separate compartment of their own on the right, which helps prevent any scratches on the keyboard in case they come loose and the cable connectors goes through the plastic wrap.


Here, we see the removable keyboard cable with a male USB Type-C connector on one end and a male USB Type-A connector on the other. The adoption of the USB Type-C connector was nice to see here, and is one I encourage everyone to go with henceforth. The other accessory provided is a plastic ring-style keycap puller, and here, I would have preferred to see a wire-style puller instead to lower the potential of the keycap's sides getting scratched.
