A mechanical keyboard is composed of precision components such as the shell, PCB (circuit board), plate, switches, and keycaps. How these parts are assembled, known as the mounting structure, directly shapes the keyboard’s typing feel and sound.
Among various mounting styles, the gasket mount stands out for its soft, cushioned feedback. The MOD68 HE adpoted a new gasket mount to provide the premium typing feel without compromising magnetic switch precision. Let's explore more about it.
What is the Gasket Mount?
Gasket Mount is an advanced flexible connection solution. It utilizes elastic materials to provide flexible support between the circuit board and the housing.
These elastic components effectively absorb the impact and vibration energy generated by keystrokes, thereby reducing the occurrence of resonance.

Akko’s New Gasket Design in the MOD68 HE
The Gasket structure used by Akko MOD68 HE is not a simple gasket suspension, but a well-thought-out creative design.
A row of dedicated slots are precisely carved into the CNC-machined metal bottom and side panels. Correspondingly, the edges of the inner liner's plate are equipped with specially formulated cushioning silicone. When assembled, the inner liner nestles perfectly within these slots, achieving suspended support through the contact between the silicone and the slot walls.
In addition, a multi-layer filling solution is adopted to ensure purer sound.
- Poron Foam: Placed between the PCB and the positioning plate, it directly absorbs the impact noise from switch bottoming out.
- PCB Back-Side Foam: Firmly attached to the back of the PCB, it further dampens residual high-frequency vibrations.
- Battery Compartment Sponge Padding: The battery compartment in the wired version design is filled with sponge, fully eliminating the last potential source of “cavity sound.”
Advantages of the MOD68 HE New Gasket Design
More Stable Support and Consistent Feel
The slots provide clear guidance and positioning for the liner, ensuring no lateral displacement during the entire deformation process, resulting in a consistent, soft feel across the entire surface.
More Effective Resonance Dampening
The larger contact surface and cushioning ensure that vibrations generated by the liner are more efficiently absorbed and dissipated by the silicone before being transmitted to the sturdy metal shell, fundamentally eliminating shell resonance.
Typing Experience: Balanced Feel, Focused Sound
The innovative design of the AKKO MOD68 HE is evident from the moment the user begins typing. Each keypress feels stable, cushioned, and responsive.
Sound Performance
The sound of MOD68 HE is clear and focused, deep and powerful yet controlled, completely eliminating the hollow echo often found in traditional aluminum keyboards. Thanks to the combination of Poron sandwich foam, bottom foam, and silicone damping, every layer works together to shape a smooth, satisfying tone.
Precise and Reliable Performance
The acoustic balance does not compromise precision. Even with the cushioning system, the MOD68 HE maintains its 0.005mm Rapid Trigger accuracy, proving that softness and precision can coexist. Whether for long typing sessions or high-speed gaming, it delivers a refined, fatigue-free experience that feels both premium and effortless.
Beyond Structure: Other Key Advantages of the MOD68 HE
MOD68 HE is noy only feature withe the gasket mount, more features make it more powerful.
Aluminum Build Under €100
The CNC aluminum case with a refined, compact 65% layout, price below €100 — rare at this price point.
The aluminum case provides not only premium aesthetics but also a solid foundation that enhances the consistency of sound and feel.
RT 0.005mm Precision
MOD68 HE supports 0.005mm precision, that means users can fine-tune actuation distance in incredibly small increments. Whether it’s a competitive gamer seeking microsecond reaction times or a typist who values precision, the MOD68 HE offers a fully customizable experience.
8,000Hz Polling Rate
The 8,000Hz polling rate ensures each keystroke is registered with near-zero latency — eight times faster than traditional mechanical keyboards.

Massive 10,000mAh Battery
The MOD68 HE is available in both wired and tri-mode wireless versions. For the tri-mode version, fearture with a massive 10,000mAh battery for uninterrupted performance.
Conclusion
MOD68 HE bridges the gap between high-end engineering and everyday use. It offers a luxurious feel, a pleasant typing sound, and precise performance comparable to professional-grade keyboards, while also being affordable, making it easily accessible to most users.
From the innovative structure that eliminates resonance to the precision of the magnetic switches, the 8K polling rate, and the 10,000mAh high-capacity battery, every detail of the MOD68 HE has been meticulously designed.
MOD68 HE is not just another 65% keyboard – it sets a new benchmark for keyboards under €100.
