Akko V3 Creamy Purple Pro Keyboard Switch for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin 30gf Tactile Switches Pre-Lubed Key switches(45pcs)

Amazing switches for my first keyboard build, very creamy indeed. Paired with the Monsgeek M1, force break mod, 3 layers of tape mod, and poron case foam, this just sounds like heaven. The tactile feeling is very pronounced and satisfying and the super light operating force and low travel makes it so fast to type on. I haven’t tried a lot of other keyboards, but this switch just makes typing so satisfying in terms of both feel and sound. This is my second time achieving 170+ wpm (not very consistent, have to get pretty lucky with the words i’m given but I can achieve 150 wpm 100% accuracy often now) and both times have been on this keyboard. I previously used the RK M75 with fast silver switches and these switches feel so much faster (given its operating force is 18g lighter than the silvers) and more satisfying that my typing speed and accuracy has improved a lot (but this also comes with me typing a lot more). All in all, this is an amazing budget tactile switch that sounds great by default but paired with some tape and foam it will provide the creamiest thock you've ever heard.

For my personal preferences these are the PERFECT switch. medium light tactile switch with a PRONOUNCED tactile bump spanning from the top of the keystroke almost all the way to the bottom. farther down than the durock t1's or holy pandas. very little stem wobble. very very good build quality. sound is amazing, a balance of creamy and clacky. super super satisfying typing on these.

Decent light tactile switch with a good price. I would describe the sound as creamy, not too noisy but not quiet either. For me, personally, these don't have enough of a bump or spring resistance to feel satisfying. RGB isn't a make or break proposition for me but the housing color changes the color that reaches your keycaps, white light will result in a pink hue. I will keep these around to potentially use in another board but I moved to Panda switches for daily use on my main board to give the stronger feedback to match my personal preference. If you want a cheap light tactile switch and don't care about the RGB issues then this is a good choice.

I'm no expert in the world of modding mechanical keyboards. But I recently bought one and wanted to find switches that I really loved. I bought the gateron/kailh/keychron/cherry 100-switch tester that's floating around out there and spent hours figuring out what sort of switches I liked. My favorite switches on there were the gateron box ink v2 Kangaroo switches. But I could not find a set of around 100 of these switches for any less than $100, and I could not justify spending that. I figured out what I liked about these switches--the sharp tactile bump at the very top of the press, and I spent a few more hours looking around online for something else I might like. I found these switches mentioned in some review or other and bought them, with some reservations, despite never having tried them. I couldn't be happier. Or rather, I *could* be happier in one respect, but I wouldn't subtract a star. My one complaint is the color and LED light transmittance of these switches. My board has built in white LEDs. The opaque design of these switches with no diffuser allows noticeably less light to come through as compared with the (also opaque) Logi marble stock switches. The window through which the LED light comes is also very small compared to my other switches. It also colors the white LEDs vers slightly pink. I'd essentially prefer it were any other color than pink. That being said, it's no big deal and I would gladly take the color and light transmittance any day in exchange for the excellent feel and great price of these switches.

I got the V3 Creamy Purple Pros. The switches are very cute colors, and are as always for Akko, fantastic for the price. These are a very budget friendly and reliable alternative to the Boba U4Ts but more long-pole with a creamier sound. They come with a generous amount of factory lube. I would strongly recommend filming (adding a small layer of plastic between the top and bottom housing) them, because their housings are moderately loose, and if you try to wiggle them, they do give and click a bit making the switches feel cheaper and more rattly. However, once filmed they are incredible. Highly recommend if you're willing to put in a tiny bit of extra work. There is an issue where sometimes the switch housing doesn't close correctly and leads to the switch feeling 'crunchy' so be very aware and ensure you pay extra close attention when testing the switches after re-assembling. I have never had this issue with dozens of other switches, so it's something to watch out for.

These Pink Creamy switches are a great choice for anyone who likes a smooth and soft typing feel. They have a light actuation that makes each keypress feel effortless, and the “creamy” texture really stands out—there’s no scratchiness at all. The sound is gentle and satisfying, giving a quiet thock that isn’t too loud but still feels premium. These switches also come well-lubed from the factory, so you don’t need to do much modding to get a good experience. Overall, these switches offer a smooth, comfortable, and beginner-friendly typing experience that makes them perfect for gaming, writing, or everyday use. Super easy to remove and apply aswell.

My favorite switches so far. There's a light creamy, clicky sound, and it feels nice to type with. It's aleady factory lubed, but I did decide to do it myself (there wasn't really a sound difference).

The RGB "window" has plastic down the middle splitting the RGB in half. Depending on keycaps, it can be visible - check the 1-4 keys in my picture. It's all personal preference of course. And unless you have multiple types of switches installed in your keyboard to directly compare against, it would be hard to notice. But to me the sound of these switches, seems to be a combo of "dirty" & "fake" and "manufactured" sound. At least in my aluminum keyboard housing... But they are more quiet, has a more sound dampened effect to them. The Crush80 (HMX Cocoa) are louder & higher pitched, but have a smooth & clean sound to them. But the Cocoa are linear switches, not tactile like these Akko. Since these switches are the exact same price as the Rainy75 or Crush80 stock switches directly from KEEBMONKEY here on amazon, that is personally my preference. But if you prefer tactile over linear, and don't want less clacky sound, then these Akko Creamy Purple Pro switches are great.
