Akko V3 Pro Lavender Purple Keyboard Switch with Dustproof Stem for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin Tactile Switches (45pcs)

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.

I purchased these to replace the "Wisteria" switches included with my Epomaker Split65 (also purchased from Amazon.) The heavier (though not too heavy) actuation force prevents accidental key presses when resting my hands on the keyboard - which happened frequently with the "Wisteria's", resulting in me turning or strafing unintentionally in games. The diffusion bars spread the light quite nicely through the keycaps (particularly as I have transparent legends on their south side.) Installing them was straight forward in my hotswap keyboard. Simply remove the keycaps with a puller, then squeeze the 2 tabs on the top and bottom of the switch with the removal tool (not included with the switches, but I had one bundled with my keyboard) while pulling straight upwards (some that were a little stiff required rocking up and down to remove). To install make sure the switches are oriented correctly (light diffuser towards the bottom in my case) and press straight down until you feel the retaining tabs click into place. Then place the keycaps on top and press down **firmly** else you might end up with uneven heights. I ordered 2 packs for a total of 90 switches, out of all of them one was unfortunately defective - however Akko made things right and offered me a replacement or partial refund quickly without issue (I took the refund as I had 2 switches left over). These are my first "clicky" type of switches, although I've been a mechanical keyboard user for around a decade they've all been linear. The click is satisfyingly audible, yet subtle enough not to be distracting while typing. Feeling wise it gives me a sensation something similar to popping bubble wrap (though not as noisy or requiring as much force), a truly luxurious typing experience. They're absolutely fine for gaming too, whether FPS or MMO - they're quick and reliable to activate. I'm using them in my home office setup which is my private space - I'd probably opt for something quieter if I wasn't by myself (maybe the Akko Penguins), because I imagine the clicks might annoy any co-workers within earshot. All in all a solid buy, with great support from Akko. Would purchase more Akko switches without hesitation in future.

Fantastic switches, sound and feel perfect

I bought this switch intending to use the stem on a different switch, however this didnt work. i am using these tactile switches in my keyboard and they feel amazing, they are quite loud but this may be my desk. great purchase.

I switched over to these from gateron milky yellows (linear switches with greater activation force), and instantly a few things are noticeable - the unbelievable quietness - the subtle but definitely noticeable tactile bump at the beginning of the key press - the pins and housing build quality seems much better, I was gentle so as not to blow my hot swap sockets on the board. - Very affordable, especially if you have a keyboard with less than 45 keys Tactiliy + quietness is kinda like the holy grail of switches for a lot of people who work in crowded offices, and Akko nailed it. I think it is the rubber lining at the bottom of the switches i think that makes it so. Minor drawbacks I know a lot of people enjoy slamming the keycaps and bottoming out, because of the rubber lining, you don't quite get that feeling with these, it's almost like rubber dome when you bottom out, so you might hate that. Out of the box, these are a bit scratchy feeling (which I like), and, I hear that these have about a week or so break in period. But, if you have the ability to lube them, do it, I think that would make em feel even better. Overall, can't go wrong with these if you like tactile switches and if you won't miss the clacks and thoccs. Highly recommended !!

These switches are so smooth and silent, I love them! They all fit and functioned perfectly, backlight comes through well and they have improved my typing and gaming experience immensely. Coming from cherry red switches, which were quiet but still a bit clicky for me, these switches are silent and feel great

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!

Was der Titel sagt :P

Personalmente su sonido me suena bastante normal, tengo otros switches que suenan mucho mejor, como los Vivian MMD2, los gray mismod el aula f99 que trae por defecto aunque es más thocky, no cremoso y los reaper del aula f75 que de nuevo es más thocky que cremosito. Pero no son malos switch ni mucho menos, además son muy bonitos

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

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