Akko Silent Tactile Switch for Mechanical Keyboard, Silent Switches, 5 Pin 50 gf, Quick Trigger, Short Stroke 3.3 mm, MX Mute Switches for Gaming Keyboard (45 PCs, Penguin)

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.
