Akko Botany Keyboard Switch for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin 38gf Linear Pre-Lubed Switches (45pcs)

Video note: the first switch (Z) is the Penguin, (X) is the KALH Hush Deep Sea Tactile, and (C) is the Boba U4 65g. The rest are Penguins. No dampeners or anything, stock. Extremely consistent switches. The amount of lube they come with is perfect for me. These are a little heavier than your Gateron browns (by 10g I think) but it wasn't much of a noticeable change for me. They are the quietest switches I have found that also have a very strong bump. In my case I was interested in a sharp bump to give me feedback on when it was actually pressed. There is no travel. I tried the Gateron Browns, knockoff blues, K.A.L.H Hush Deep Sea Tactile, and Gazzew Boba U4's (65g) and the Shrimps (67g). I noticed the these require noticeably less force (these are 55g) and they are quieter than all 3 of the others mentioned. The Deep Sea's being the loudest, with the Shrimps and Boba's being second loudest. (All 4 were quiet, but the Penguins were quietest). The Shrimps had a noticeably sharper bump but a less refined feel. They were closer to your cherry MX blues but felt hollow and cheap. The penguins have a slight "thud" and a smooth feeling click all the way through, aside from the pronounced bump before activation. I also noticed that when fully assembled in my keyboard, they had the least vertical "wiggle" than the others mentioned thus far. This is not really noticeable though. They sit higher than the Boba's and lower than the Deep Sea's. Very minimal difference. I didn't get the Shrimps recorded in the video. Overall perfect this is the perfect switch. A lighter version would be nice though (its a little lighter than avg for these types it seems). I noticed it also has got some padding on the bottom for quieting them, but it doesn't feel mushy. If you need them for a full keyboard though buy directly, it should be cheaper even with shipping. Will be buying these for all my keyboards from now on. Buy em!

Somehow Akko figured out a way to make silent-ish switches that do not compromise on tactile feel. Compared to a panda or a regular brown switch, the tactile bump is more pronounced while feeling rounder. The Penguin’s bump feels like going over a speed bump smoothly in a car while regular brown switches feel like hopping off of a curb. Factory lubing is excellent too. Very little to no scratchiness or spring ping in my set. Without an LED diffuser, these only let a minimal amount of light through even on a south facing keyboard like mine in the video. Installing them was a breeze, and akkos tray+case packaging is excellent. Typing on these is so smooth and they work well with such a wide variety of key caps. They’re honestly great switches for extended periods of writing and typing, and when you’re done working, the tactile bump also makes them great for gaming. The experience feels luxurious, buttery, and consistent. They’re not perfectly silent per se, but they are so much quieter than a regular switch. Quiet enough that you won’t risk bothering anyone near you while typing up a storm.

Theses switches are awesome!!! I'm a gamer who's used to creamy linear switches, so silent tactile switches were a big change for me. This is a change I don't regret! These switches sound and feel awesome. VERY quiet, but not silent. I don't know how to best describe the sound, but it sounds like those old keyboard schools used to have in the lab rooms, minus any clickiness. Definitely thocky, and the tactile feel of the bump makes this a lot more enjoyable (if I had gotten silent linears, I don't think I would've liked them). They don't feel mushy, which is a complaint I've heard about silent switches in general, I put these into a RK keyboard which is already lined with foam to help with sound dampening. Definitely recommend these switches to those who want something quiet and enjoyable.

Great switches. I believe this has a deeper sound than even my Gateron Oil King V2s which are generally venerated for thock. Although Oil Kings would be better for me personally since i prefer heavier springs, these feel like I am are typing on marshmallows on a pillow. The prelube is just okay, a lot of switches have a slight scratch in the keypress, not that bad at all and probably wouldn't bother most people for switches at this price. Nonetheless this is easily fixed if you are willing to lube all of them yourself. Like i mentioned they sound really good, and sounded way sound better in person compared to the videos. This is my biggest gripe. The stems are TIGHT. Good luck trying to change your keycaps if you aren't planning to change the switches as well since they will ripped right out of the pcb. This is a matter of preference, and i appreciate the novelty and uniqueness of the color, but it looks like a significant portion of ground beef when i throw them in a pile.

best feeling keyboard switches I've ever used. Quiet and responsive. Low effort without accidental presses (with my fingers) I love the color setup although I don't use transparent keys right now, so if I do get clear caps a bonus... good manufacture and will no doubt last a long time for my daily board

These Akko Dracula switches are a fantastic, quiet, and smooth option for anyone building a new keyboard. My goal was to find a linear switch that was light, pre-lubed, and didn't have the high-pitched sound common with many other linear options. The POK stem and pre-lubed rails provide an incredibly fluid and satisfying keystroke right out of the box, feeling far smoother than many switches I've tried. A minor downside is the sound profile, which, while low-pitched, isn't as quiet as I had hoped for a "silent" build. This is a perfect switch for gamers or typists who want a quiet, light, and aesthetically pleasing switch without the hassle of manual lubing. Overall, the performance and build quality justify the price, making these a solid 5-star product in my book.

I originally purchased the Durock Shrimp switches, but after a few days of use, I realized they felt a bit too heavy for my needs. Since I type extensively for work, I wanted something lighter and easier on my fingers. The Akko Penguin switches feel like a great alternative. They offer a very similar tactile experience to the Durock Shrimps but require noticeably less force, which has helped reduce overall typing fatigue. They’re also a bit quieter, which is a nice bonus. On top of that, they’re more affordable, making them an even better value. The only downside I’ve noticed is the LED shine-through. Compared to my original switches (which are still installed on the F keys), the Penguins appear significantly dimmer. Overall, they’re a solid choice if you like the feel of Durock Shrimps but want something lighter, quieter, and more budget-friendly.

Awesome silent switches. I got these to swap out some browns in my work keyboard. I still wanted the tactile fell, but needed something near silent to use on an open office environment. Swapped these out and I was amazed at how quiet they are. My keyboard is now quieter than the cheap membrane keyboards that come standard in my office. But, they still have a great tactile feel. You know without a doubt when the key has been pressed. They're installed in the standard way. Just pop out the old ones and plug in the new ones. I swapped out a 70% TKL and a separate number pad in less than a half hour. They're pre-lubed so no extra steps to take. Overall, very happy with these.

I have installed to the main raw of the keyboard, it is realy silent and you can feel the force get the feedback. For me I was expecting a higher force but this also works. BTW, I like the package.

They sounf very nice, especially when lubed and paired with foam and tape mods.

Switch lineales excelentes, con un poco más de resistencia que los grises o los rosas que son los que tengo, creo que son bastante buenos para escribir y también creo que funcionarían perfectamente para jugar Yo en lo personal tengo en las teclas más comunes para jugar los grises y en las demás tengo estos verdes y los rosas. La calidad de Akko muy buena como siempre 100% recomendados

とても良いです。 ある程度静かで、カチャカチャ音はほとんどなく、コトコトというよりもトコトコ（ニュアンスの違いが伝わるか微妙ですが） 底打ちした時に適度に軟さがあるので コトコトスイッチによくある カツン、コツンという反動が指にこなくて 打っていて楽です また、誤解を避けずにいうと 微弱ながらのタクタイル感がタイピングのしやすさに寄与している気がします。 しっかりとしたタクタイルとは全く違いますが、例えばリアルフォースを打っていて明確なタクタイル感は感じないものの スコッと入る感じ あれに近いものを感じるしリアルフォースほどの抵抗感は感じないので リニアにスムースに、でも気持ちよくスッと降りる感じがとてもタイピングしやすいです。 軽めのスイッチなのでソフトタッチでタイピングする人に向いてると思います。

Recomendo! Excelente
