Meet the Akko Mineral 02 VIA: a custom mechanical keyboard made for enthusiasts who value substance, sound, and style. Inspired by the raw, irregular surfaces of natural crystals, its curved side frame breaks from the rigid lines of typical keyboards. Covered with a smooth anodized finish on a full CNC-machined aluminum case—and accented with a reflective PVD back weight—this board is built on a foundation of endurance and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrom the tool-free ball-catch assembly to the substantial construction and versatile tri-mode connectivity, the Mineral 02 is a solid choice for any desk setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- 50\/50 Split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section split-50-text-right\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"text-content\"\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003eA Keyboard Carved from the Elements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003eFrom its solid build to its unique curved aesthetic, the Mineral 02 pulls no punches. Constructed with a full CNC-machined aluminum case, it’s heavy enough to stay planted on your desk at 2.5 kg, anchoring your workspace. The design story is in the details. Instead of sharp corners, the frame flows with a gentle, ergonomic curve. At the corners, translucent acrylic elements house RGB patterns that evoke the radiant look of rare crystals, while a small, subtle badge replaces any distracting logos. This isn't just a keyboard; it's a desktop centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"image-content\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3471\/6413\/files\/Mineral-01-Black-Silver.png?v=1780935736\" alt=\"A Keyboard Carved from the Elements\"\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- Image Grid (3 images) --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section image-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"image-grid-3\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3471\/6413\/files\/Akko-Mineral-02-Black-Silver-Details-34.jpg?v=1780935736\" alt=\"Product image 1\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3471\/6413\/files\/Akko-Mineral-02-Black-Silver-Details-1_b6a7ffa1-ea26-4883-8a66-2290c82f1a78.jpg?v=1780935736\" alt=\"Product image 2\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3471\/6413\/files\/Akko-Mineral-02-Black-Silver-Details-33.jpg?v=1780935736\" alt=\"Product image 3\"\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- 50\/50 Split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section split-50-text-left\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"text-content\"\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003eCustomization in Seconds.

Traditional custom keyboards mean fumbling with tiny screws just to make a small adjustment. The Mineral 02 uses a tool-free ball-catch system. The top and bottom frames snap apart and securely back together in seconds, making it incredibly easy to swap plates, adjust dampening, or tune stabilizers on the fly. If you ever want to change the feel, you can pop in a new plate or add foam, thanks to this rapid assembly mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"image-content\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3471\/6413\/files\/Akko-Mineral-BOW-Stabilizer.jpg?v=1780935736\" alt=\"Customization in Seconds.

As opposed to hollow plastic boards that rattle as you type, this gasket-mounted keyboard uses a multi-layer system to deliver a clean, satisfying sound. Atop the non-flex cut PCB, it houses an FR4 plate with flex cuts—a material known for balancing hardness with deep acoustic properties. The plate is suspended using silicon socks, absorbing micro-vibrations and separating it from any direct metal contact with the case. A full array of five sound-dampening foam layers eliminates any hollow pinging, ensuring the switches retain a crisp, clean bottom-out sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"image-content\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3471\/6413\/files\/Akko-Mineral-02-VIA-DIY-Kit-Blackr-2000-1000.png?v=1780935736\" alt=\"Engineered for a Cushioned Sound\"\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- 50\/50 Heading Split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section split-50-heading-left\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"heading-content\"\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003eThe Heart of the Keystroke\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"text-content\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003eThe Mineral 02 comes equipped with premium components to deliver a refined typing experience right out of the box.
