Akko DIY Kit Warranty Statement

For acrylic, PC and aluminum DIY Kits, Akko offers parts replacement (PCB, Hot-swappable Sockets, Plate, Foam, Gaskets etc) because the products don’t come pre-assembled and parts can be easily replaced and assembled. Akko support will help determine the defective part to be shipped.

Akko is not responsible for parts deeply altered/damaged during modification.

Akko PCB Replacement Policy  

The rate of PCB failure is low. For Akko hot-swappable keyboard, please first check to see if the key switch is functional by replacing a known-working key switch. Make sure the pins of key switches are in well contact with the hot-swappable socket.

Akko will send necessary parts, once the support team determines the issue cannot be fixed. The delivery time cannot be guaranteed for replacement parts.

Issues such as unregistered keys can be fixed easily by customers with soldering background. For customers without soldering background, Akko suggests that the users look for hobby stores/repair stores for instant repairs to fix the issues.

We will not replace the PCB if the issue is the following:

• The hot-swappable sockets have dust that can be cleaned;
• The switches fall off the hot-swappable sockets and can be installed back.
