Akko Cloud Driver
Akko Cloud Driver · Shenzhen, China · founded 2016
What it is
Akko Cloud Driver is free software for configuring selected Akko keyboards and the AG ONE 8K mouse. It supports custom RGB settings, macro programming, and online firmware upgrades, along with polling rate and sensitivity controls. Akko offers version 4 downloads for Windows and Mac, plus browser-based keyboard and mouse drivers for selected models. Which models work depends on the driver version, so check the model-specific software list before choosing a download. Compatibility is limited: the Cloud Driver does not apply to every VIA/QMK model, and VIA/QMK keyboards do not support Akko Cloud Drivers. Connection options also have restrictions. The web driver uses HID and does not support wireless connections, while the Mac app driver does not support Bluetooth. On Mac, customization over Bluetooth is unavailable and some functions, such as Audio Visualizer, are not offered. The Mac browser driver requires Chrome; Safari and Firefox are unsupported. Akko provides compatibility guidance in its FAQ.
