Is the Akko 3108 keyboard a fine chose?

[Shou Miko]

I been looking around for a new keyboard since my current Razer Blackwidow X Chroma keyboard is acting up even with a clean last week it continues where CTRL, Shift, Y and Enter keys doesn't always register and the o key is making double or triple letter from time to time.

I am looking for a fine keyboard for less than a 100 euros and I found this Akko 3108 on Amazon.de which is dispatched by Amazon I hope it's Amazon EU so I don't have to battle with import taxes.

Akko 3108 Horizon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, QWERTY Layout, 100% Anti-Ghosting with PBT Doubleshot Keycaps, Cherry Profile, Cream Yellow Switch, Full Size Keyboard for Win/Mac (Amazon.de)

I like the overall design of this keyboard, but I am wondering is it easy to get other key caps for if I want to change them out?

This keyboard should have Akko V2 Pink switches which is a linear key switch is is fine for me.

Because asking if I can use a TKL or 60% keyboard I want a fullsize keyboard since I use numpad a lot on my desktop.

I can speak to this! I actually have a ducky with the horizon keycap set they are normal cherry style stems (+) so you should have a lot of luck swapping out sets.

Nice and I just chatted with amazon customer service and they confirmed it will be shipped out from one of their eu warehouses so no import tax so this is great.

Thanks @Solaris17 for answering about they keycaps I guess I better order one so I can be here as soon as possible this got about 2 weeks of my vacation left and I want to be able to game again because my vacation ends because it's annoing to do AC3 Remastered when the ctrl and shift key doesn't always register.

Umm:
"Cream Yellow Switch"

That's not "pink".

They're still linear.

If you look further down in the listing it shows pink linear

So I am not sure maybe the topic is wrong really because I looked at the description not the name of the listing

Either way I am sure it will do better thaan this old razer with double registering keystrokes and keys not registering.

Yeah that amazon listing is a mess.

Note on keycaps - AKKO uses the same key layout as Ducky boards (in fact they used to be a business partner of Ducky up until 2019) so you have those 4 extra keys above numpad. Most of keycap sets come with multiple R1 keys so just use them to match the height, that way you don't have to buy any extra keys (which usually come at an extra cost), example from my MK Typist:

Are you referring to "novelty keys" as one of the photos on the listing shows?

 

[Chomiq]

Yeah, if you buy a separate keycap set they usually come at an extra cost, depending on the set:

But that's only if you want to fancy it up, otherwise you should enough keys left on base kit to fill in the 4 extra keys.

And yeah, keycaps can get expensive fast.

Hmm my Amazon order has been lost in shipping from Germany to Denmark and the Amazon support ain't really up to doing anything good.

Refund is up to 3-5days and I can get a 10% discount on my next order.

I told the amazon customer service person I do not care for a 10% discount I rather want a replacement for my missing order.

This was not possible for security blah blah, but I got promised that I could put in a order for this mousepad and than when I receive it get a full discount instead of 10% discount on my next order.

The mousepad could only apply for this since it's shipped and sold my Amazon.
