MU01 Herbst

Overview:
The Akko MU01 Autumn wooden keyboard is a true masterpiece. As someone who's built custom keyboards from the ground up, I can confidently say this is the best typing experience I've ever had, rivaling even my best custom creations. This keyboard not only stands out visually with its natural wood design but also delivers on sound, feel, and overall typing satisfaction.

Design & Build Quality:
The MU01 Autumn is a wooden keyboard that embodies elegance and warmth. The craftsmanship is superb, with the wooden finish adding a unique aesthetic and solid feel. It gives the desk setup a natural touch while maintaining durability. The wood provides a comforting heft and solidity that plastic or metal builds often lack, grounding the keyboard with a satisfying weight.

Switches - Roswood (Akko’s Rosewood Switches):
The heart of this experience is Akko’s Roswood switches. These switches bring a "thock" that is unmatched, producing the rich, deep sound every keyboard enthusiast chases. I own Tangerine C3 switches, which are popular among enthusiasts, but I have no desire to swap out the Roswoods – they are that good. The Roswood switches seem perfectly matched to the wooden casing, enhancing the resonance and amplifying the thock with each keypress. Every keystroke feels tuned and refined, offering a smooth, satisfying action that just keeps you coming back.

Sound Profile:
This is, without a doubt, the “thockiest” keyboard I've used. The sound profile is perfect for those who enjoy a deep, resonant thock rather than a high-pitched click or clack. Each keypress feels intentional, and the sound feedback is remarkably tuned – something even high-end custom builds sometimes miss. It's evident that Akko put thought into harmonizing the Roswood switches with the wood housing, making each keystroke a delight for the ears.

Typing Experience:
In terms of typing comfort and feel, the MU01 Autumn excels. It has just the right balance of firmness and cushioning. The layout, keycap shape, and the overall ergonomics make it a pleasure to type on for extended periods. The responsiveness and tactile feel of the switches, combined with the acoustics, make for a typing experience that’s both productive and enjoyable.

Conclusion:
The Akko MU01 Autumn wooden keyboard is an absolute joy, nailing both the visual and tactile aspects of what a high-end keyboard should offer. It achieves a harmonious balance of aesthetics, build quality, sound profile, and typing feel. It’s rare to find a pre-built keyboard that outshines even custom-built ones, but Akko has delivered just that.

Received my keyboard after about 2 weeks and was a pre-order. The keyboard is very solid and typing doesn't make much sound. I'm loving the feel of it. Can absolutely recommend the wooden keyboards.

The build quality and overall feel of this keyboard is amazing, it definitely feels worth the price. What seemed a little lazy to me, was that some keycaps were put on upside down, which isn't really much of an issue though.

This is my first mechanical keyboard, and it is stunning! Awseome building quality and very thicc sound. The shipment was fast, considering it departed from Hong Kong. Clear user manual, and well equipped box containing all the cables and tools. There is only one down side: it is not supported by QMK for remapping the keys.

Incredible keyboard, very good quality. Fits very well to my wooden desk, and PC with fractal north case, with wooden accents. Sound is very comfy, the connection options are very usefull for switching quickly between gaming PC and work laptop. The only small issue I have is when the keyboard turns off when its not being used for a while. It takes a few seconds to reconnect. If it could be faster, then it would be a nice improvement. Overall, very good and very stylish, perfect for high end home office.
