Akko V3 Pro Piano Keyboard Switches, Linear Switch with Dustproof Stem for Mechanical Keyboard, 5 Pins 45gf, North and South Facing SMD RGB LED Slot, for MX Game Keyboard/DIY Kit (45 PCS)

I love the creamy sound that it makes in a case. The colour is amazing and and I know it doesn't matter about the colour but still it's very nice. It's amazing quality and it's easy to put in a case. Its amazing value for Money and it's way smaller than it looks. It also feels amazing since it's lubed. Lovely sound.

The switch is so light it feels almost like a tactile switch: the little bit of friction that is required to be overcome before the stem starts moving is the tactile bump, and the spring at 35g is so light it then immediately bottoms out. I love the poppy sound and crisp, faux-tactile feel though I'm still getting used to the noise compared to my lubed and filmed gateron yellows which are very quiet in comparison. There's no spring ping detectable with the naked ear.I recommend lubing the contact surfaces between the stem and the top housing which you can do by pushing and holding the stem down while you brush around it - no need to take the switch apart. It makes the switches sound a little deeper, cleaner and feel a touch more linear. Switch films do not fit these switches - the manufacturing tolerances must be pretty darn good.Only one problem with these - the clips that keep the switches seated in the plate can snap off or be permanently bent easily when removing the switches from the board. This issue is worsened by the fact that they are stiff to remove. You just have to be conservative with how much squeeze you're applying with your switch puller.

I switched over to these from gateron milky yellows (linear switches with greater activation force), and instantly a few things are noticeable- the unbelievable quietness- the subtle but definitely noticeable tactile bump at the beginning of the key press- the pins and housing build quality seems much better, I was gentle so as not to blow my hot swap sockets on the board.- Very affordable, especially if you have a keyboard with less than 45 keysTactiliy + quietness is kinda like the holy grail of switches for a lot of people who work in crowded offices, and Akko nailed it. I think it is the rubber lining at the bottom of the switches i think that makes it so.Minor drawbacksI know a lot of people enjoy slamming the keycaps and bottoming out, because of the rubber lining, you don't quite get that feeling with these, it's almost like rubber dome when you bottom out, so you might hate that.Out of the box, these are a bit scratchy feeling (which I like), and, I hear that these have about a week or so break in period. But, if you have the ability to lube them, do it, I think that would make em feel even better.Overall, can't go wrong with these if you like tactile switches and if you won't miss the clacks and thoccs. Highly recommended !!

Nice cream black switches from Akko I will say if you are in the market for modifying your keyboard and want a nice switch to go inside I'd recommend these but for a smoother and personally a better experience crack them open and lube them up for a nicer typing sound.I did have a few switches which did not work at all but that's fine honestly out of the bunch I got 3 were duds which isn't bad at all.These are 5 pin so before ordering do make sure they are compatible with your keyboard.

The first thing to note about these switches is the excellent packaging (in common with all Akko CS switches). This doesn't just look nice, it serves the purpose of making sure your switches reach you without bent pins, a really handy benefit for switches.These switches are decently tactile, it is a very crisp tactile event near the top of the keypress and this means its very unlikely you are going to accidentally press the switch and get actuation. They feel good out of the box, and both my wife and I have used them on a board to work with and they sound and feel decent. I have heard others have lubed these and they take lube well so that is something I am considering for the future. If you listen carefully to the switch you can hear some ping from the switch, which if you mount on certain boards will be accentuated, but it isn't particularly loud (I had to go and listen for it for this review).If you use these boards with an RGB board (as most boards are) it is important to note these will have an effect on the light colours. Currently I have them on a board with pudding keycaps, and as you can see from the picture, there is an effect on the colour (for reference, the pale purple colour is actually white back lighting!). For me this is no issue, I quite like the effect and I take it into account when choosing a back light colour for the board, but with the green (as you can see) it can make the colour a little muddier.Overall these are an enjoyable switch to make use of it you like tactiles, much more tactile than the usual brown switch, with a pleasant sound and a good potential to lube. The switch itself is quite eye catching, with its purple housing. I'd happily recommend these to anyone looking for a tactile switch with more of a tactile event than the usual MX brown, and they have potential to be excellent.

Nice tactile bump, felt really smooth and made my decent keyboard really good. The value for money is excellent as I have tried switches that cost over 3 times as much being beat by these in terms of feel, sound and smoothness.

Really good consistency between switches and they are incredibly quiet with a good level of tactile feedback.Will buy again the next time I do a board and have recommended to friends.

Got the Akko Cream Blue v3 pros on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised, they feel nice and tactile but don't quite sound as tactile as mx browns or say, glorious pandas (which may well be to your liking etc). Didn't realise until i opened them up that they were lubed from the factory as well!Will defo be checking out the rest of the range for my next build(s)

O produto é muito bom, resposta precisa e tátil, relativamente silencioso e funcionou perfeitamente no teclado Kumara. Adorei!

Got the ocean blues for the wife - she prefers a lighter tactile than me and these were perfect for her. Nice feel; smooth and more consistent than other value switches at the same price point.I typically prefer a heavier tactile so I was surprised that I enjoyed these so much.If I was typing all day I would go for these over my heavier tactile switches.I might have to get some for myself lol

I wanted to find some super smooth and quiet linear switches that didn't feel mushy and these are perfect. Even unlubed these are very smooth. They were packed very well and the switches look amazing.

Lubed the switches. They sound and feel great.

Impressive tactile switches. Packed well in a pretty box. The actuation force is just about right. Not too heavy not too light. The thinner pins are designed to fit various sockets even the round ones. This is definitely a big plus. Pretty popular tactile switches.
