Review on Akko CS Switches Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Todd Mohr

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Insane value. Look no further!

So this year (2021) the competition has intensified and these Akko (red) switches have become my go-to circuit breaker for the price. They're pretty prickly to begin with, I mean not as much as a standard cherry stock switch and very close to Gaytrons. Ocean Blue Switch has been found. I don't really like Akko's tactile tires, they have a rattling of the blades that bothers me even after greasing. Anyway these things feel great with some 205g0 and 105 oil on the springs. I'd definitely say they're more like a soft click, similar to the "volume" of the Tangie click, but low rather than high. Blurred feeling, 8/10. Seriously, they are that good! My favorite switches of late have been the Tecsee Ruby V2 and Jadedite switches so I like the softer tapping and feel that these Akko switches have a really satisfying bottom end tone and feel. By the way, the "red" switches are all orange. :)

Pros
