In this video, I review the Akko Year of the Snake – Armor Alice keyboard, and yeah, this might be one of the most unique Alice boards Akko has released. I’m checking out the Green Snake prototype version (so any finishing issues you see should be fixed in the final release), and I go through the full unboxing: you get a carrying case, 2.4GHz receiver, a coiled USB-A to USB-C cable, and an acrylic wrist rest that matches the keyboard’s angle. The board itself is seriously hefty at just over 2.6kg, and the whole green snake theme with the custom zodiac keycaps looks stunning in person. I break down the design and features like the 68-key Alice layout, side RGB, the light-up serpent eye, macro keys, and the huge mirror-finish PVD weight on the bottom. Then I do a teardown to show the bulkhead structure, the battery setup (8,000mAh total), the silicone spring-mounted plate, and the included sound-dampening stack (plate foam, PE pad, PET sheet). I also cover the Akko web-based driver for remapping, macros, RGB, and firmware updates, and I finish with a typing sound test and my final thoughts: it’s pricey at around $230, but with the materials, components, and the poppy sound profile, you really get what you pay for.
