Most owners are genuinely won over by the Akko 5075B(+)'s stock experience: it sounds noticeably better than expected out of the box, types smoothly with solid stabilizers, and feels like strong value for money, especially for someone building their first pre-built rather than a full custom board. But a vocal minority runs into real reliability problems, most commonly switches that start double-triggering or stop registering keystrokes somewhere between five weeks and eight months of ownership, sometimes requiring disassembly and relubing just to keep working. A smaller group also reports the wired or wireless connection simply failing after months of normal use, including RGB misbehaving in wireless mode. A more minor, cosmetic gripe some owners raise is that colored switch housings can wash out the per-key RGB, muting colors like blue toward white.
“THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE KEYBOARD I WAS GOING FOR since it was basically a tac75he with better build quality and same performance whilst almost being the same price!”— @jennabutub on YouTube
“I have this keyboard 1 mounth and i still cannot believe how good this keyboard is. I will not mention things that i love the most but if you wanna buy this keyboard then.. BUY IT NOW”— @8Erz on YouTube
“they concluded the problem was software issue , then I return it to the store. I have tested the keyboard again after a year they release, they didn't fix it. Goodbye akko”— @fredericksteven8464 on YouTube
“Just got my preorder with Cowberry switches and am really enjoying it. This being my first low profile mechanical board I was surprised at just how thocky it sounds, as well as the overall quality of the construction and factory lube on the switches and stabilizers.”— @Kuriketto on YouTube
“But due to the short travel, I like them a lot in my nuphy air75 v2. They feel smooth, bumpy and really nice. I also feel like I type faster.”— leogabac on Reddit
“chose NuPhy Air75 V2 based on look and reviews, but it has been a huge disappointment. Even after many firmware updates, connection problems persist, like keys not register, dropped keys”— liebesapfel on Reddit
Real owners lean toward the 5075B: 78% of 18 owners recommend it, vs 60% of 200 for the NuPhy Air75 V2.
Owners point the 5075B at newcomers to custom keyboards wanting a great sound/feel out of the box, and buyers who prize typing feel and stock stabilizer quality over deep modding.
Owners point the NuPhy Air75 V2 at low-profile mechanical keyboard fans coming from laptops, and commuters wanting a slim, bag-friendly board.
The most-cited downside of the 5075B is switch reliability problems that develop over months of use, including double-triggering or keys ceasing to register (reported anywhere from 5 weeks to 8 months in), plus switches needing regular internal cleaning and lubrication to stay reliable. For the NuPhy Air75 V2, it's flaky wireless/Bluetooth connectivity and dropped connections.
