Akko CS Switches, 3 Pin 36gf Tactile Switch Compatible for MX Mechanical Keyboard (45 pcs, Lavender Purple)

Akko has quickly become the best bang for the budget key switches brand! These keys are everything I needed for work. They're silent, quieter than chicklet keyboards in corporate settings, and affordable! The pre-lubing is very decent and I faced no issue with the shipment or product themselves. Highly recommend these for anyone wanting a soft, smooth and silent set of switches.

I’ve swapped out boards and keycaps more times than I can count, but the one thing that’s stayed the same is these switches. The Akko V3 Pro Cream Yellows have the perfect balance of smoothness and tactility. They feel great to type on, with just the right amount of resistance and a satisfying sound. I’ve tried other switches, but none of them compare. Once you find switches this good, it’s hard to go back to anything else!

Item arrived in good packaging. At first I thought it was just in a usual box of Akko, however, inside the box has a hard TPU-like white case that holds the silent switches. All switches were in very good condition. After I installed it on my Epomaker TH99 keyboard, I felt the difference from my old switch (had the stock Sea Salt Silent switch). I prefer to use a silent switch still but wanted to feel more of the bump/resistance when typing. That's when I discovered Akko V3 Penguin Silent Tactile switch. Typing is still silent. I definitely feel the resistance now being a tactile switch compared to the stock switch which was also silent but Linear. Overall, I love it!

Super Recommended budget switches! If you're into a creamy and smooth sound profile of your keyboard (assuming that you've done the essential modifications) they do not disappoint. The switches are somewhat pre-lubed from the factory but they were inconsistent. Bought 2 packs of the switches and around 20-25 switches were not lubed properly. I did re-lube them with Crytox 205g0. I won't take out a star rating for this since lubing your switches is essential in tuning the sound profile. Planning to purchase more for multiple projects. Good job Akko!

Highly recommended if you like buttery silent buttons.

I got a linear keyboard then decided to purchase some tactile switches for it. I found these Akko V3 Pro switches and decided to try them out. The tactile "bump" comes earlier in the press which is exactly what I wanted. Sound profile (previously) was a quite creamy/thocky, now it became slightly less creamy (which is not too bad and still doesnt bother me). Overall good budget-friendly switches, pre-lubed too.

These work wonders on my blue switches RK61! 🎉 The noise is gone, and my family is finally happy—what a relief! 🛠️ I swapped half my switches, so I get some satisfying clicks without being 100% annoying. It’s the best of both worlds! 😂 Highly recommend for a peaceful typing experience!

Paired with the insanely heavy galaxy keyboard They sound like the background noise of an old typewriting office in new York that only writes romance drama novels, I can't help but get sleepy every time I have a long paper to write, the noise they make just works it's charm and I relax when I need to be energised, but that's just me.

Die Akko V3 Pro Creme Gelb Schalter haben meine Erwartungen übertroffen! Ich habe sie in mein mechanisches Keyboard eingebaut und bin absolut begeistert von der Performance. Tastenanschlag & Gefühl Diese Schalter sind butterweich und linear, ohne spürbaren Widerstand oder „Scratchiness“. Mit einer Betätigungskraft von 50gf fühlen sie sich genau richtig an – nicht zu leicht und nicht zu schwer. Perfekt für Gaming und schnelles Tippen. Lautstärke Sie sind deutlich leiser als Clicky- oder Tactile-Switches, aber nicht komplett geräuschlos. Wer auf sanfte, gedämpfte Tastenanschläge steht, wird diese Schalter lieben. Verarbeitung & Haltbarkeit Die Qualität ist hervorragend. Dank der 5-Pin-Bauweise sitzen sie stabil in der Platine, und der RGB LED Slot sorgt für eine tolle Beleuchtung. Fazit Ein großartiger Preis-Leistungs-Switch für alle, die auf lineare Schalter stehen. Egal ob Gamer oder Vielschreiber – mit den Akko V3 Pro Creme Gelb macht jede Tastatureingabe Spaß. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Melhor switch para quem deseja o mais silencioso possível, extremamente macio mas altera a cor do led.

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.

Silent switches I love the feel and I enjoyed modding them on my RK71. These are part of my upcoming portable travel setup.
