Akko CS Switches Computer Accessories & Peripherals Review

I really like her! I greased them up for 65% of my girl's keyboard and I'm very happy with their sound! They open with a Kailh-style opener, not MX. And they have 3 teeth, not 5. They are tactile but not too strong. Considering how cheap they are, how they sound, and how good they feel once they've been lubed and fitted into a nice set of keycaps, I definitely give them a thumbs up.

I don't know where I first heard about these switches but when I saw the price I knew I had to give it a try. The stock sound is not bad, the spring is minimal, there is no factory lubrication. However, when they were oiled, they really started to shine. I would think they have a "higher" tone compared to my black ink, but the burn is smooth and a pleasure to type on. I would definitely recommend these switches to anyone on a budget or wanting to try a different brand. Switch

Switches are hard to spot as they cater to personal preference, but let's start with the sound. They pop a little as you go down and if the stem touches the top of the case it has to do with the material of the derailleur. more tactile punch than Braun but not quite zealot or Boba U4T if you've tried these then you have an idea but again more tactile than Braun. However, they need to be lubricated to eliminate the ringing that comes from the reed. I had to lubricate the feet of all my switches…

These switches are fantastic and very well made. I filmed all the switches I used and wanted to take them off but they are too well made. Tolerances are too good to accept even my thinnest slides. I make my own films with a vinyl cutter. My thinnest wraps are regular vinyl, which is about half the thickness of regular wraps, and they don't fit. These switches are ready to use right out of the box and don't even need lube. I did oil them though to see if that made them any better. it is, but it…

I tried Ocean Blues stocks and loved it. I've oiled a few of them and I think this makes them smoother but less tactile. I personally prefer broth over oiled ones, but that may be because I put too much on it. While Matcha Green and Red Rose are 100% smudge-proof, the difference in smoothness was noticeable. They're already pretty smooth, but I found them to have decent spring ping (maybe just for my batch?). After I lubricated them the ping was gone and they were really good. I also have a…

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…

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…

I don't usually write many rave reviews for many things unless I'm impressed, but these switches are amazing. I have sea blue, lavender and vintage white. I bought a pack of each to test. I'm a big fan of the tactile feel but just got the whites yesterday, haven't tested or oiled them yet but very excited to try. Right out of the box, they're all sleek and damn close to perfect. Blue and violet have a pleasing tactile feel, with violet being much more pronounced than blue but still having a…

I was impressed with these switches from the first out of the box. It's not like I bought a huge range of switches, but they were the best packaged and also the cheapest. When it comes to feel, these switches are really good in their stock form. For comparison I have two Gateron lines (Ink Yellow and Ink Black Silent), Kailh Box Red and Giant V3 (JWK repaints). They were smoother than almost any in standard form. But what is impressive is that even in the basic version, they had the lowest…
