Review on Akko CS Switches Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Walter Devarakonda

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Top quality at a great price

For the price you get a lot of bang for your buck. I would rate these switches on par with the Durock and Zeal offerings, but at a significantly lower price point. First of all, the packaging of these switches is top notch. Beautiful sturdy boxes with quality graphics and branding. Inside the box is a plastic shell that houses and protects each individual switch. As you can imagine, every switch was in pristine condition with not a single bent pin to be seen. The same does not apply to bulk orders from other keyboard stores that ship the switches in individual plastic bags! On the switches themselves. The tactile experience is less than Durock T1, but much better than Halo Clear or True. It's a nice smooth bulge, but very noticeable, and the fact that these switches use a very light spring makes these switches ergonomic and easy to tap. By default these switches will scratch a bit, but nothing that can't be repaired with lube that these switches hold up well. If you are a keyboard builder and love the tactile feel then consider these as an option as at this price point they are extremely hard to beat!

Pros
