Noticed someone commenting in another deal that they'd rather an Akko over Razer (and hot-swap), and thus saw these in PCCG's catalogue. They're quite a bit cheaper than Akko's storefront at the moment. (81 or 85 USD. Aliexpress price seems to drop to about 73 USD sometimes)

Only the white coloured versions are on sale, the black ones are at their normal pricing with free shipping.
Pros:
People like Akko more than Razer
It's a full Akko keycap set, the rest of the set comes in the box.
The price is so low that it's only marginally more expensive than buying X amount of switches and the keycap set. (Although Akko sell their switches in sets of 45, so you'll have to evaluate the cost of the switches fractionally)
Cons:
These are wired versions
Wireless has been known to go on sale at similar price
Only in white, black is at retail price still
North facing LED
Still a budget board, expect it to be a okay introduction rather than the end-game.
To this day, I still have not managed to get any pop-tarts on sale on Amazon.
I thought for a sec it was Kmart's Anko brand…
