AkkoV3 Pro Cream Blue Mechanical Keyboard Switch Tactile Switches 5 Pin 45gf RGB LED Slot Dustproof Stem MX Key Switches for Gaming Keyboard/DIY Kit (45pcs)

Fairly new to modding keyboards. Had some clicky blue switches that were getting annoying at night for my other half and friends on voice.Decided to go complete opposite and so glad I got these. They are really quiet and feel great. They dont have that tactile bump and have a nice travel distance. Was easy enough to swap the switches over. I did bend a pin on the first switch I tried but I think that was down to me ratjer than the switches. All other switches went in just fine.The only issue I noticed was when removing the key cap it also pulled the switch from the board a couple of times. However it popped right back in and considering I'll probably do that irregularly its bot really a big deal.

Fantastic quality, the best switches I have used. I have been through a fair few options and although the feel/sound is personal preference they are so quiet and look and feel great. All arrived in tidy packaging and all working as intended. Best product I have bought on Amazon in ages.

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.

Great item for the cheap price and really quite a your keyboard. I used this on a rk61 with blue switches originally and changed over to the lavender switches and they sound significantly better.

They sound great stock. Much thocc. Would definitely recommend for beginner builds if you want some great sounding stock linear switches.The switches were easy to install and fit securely. I’ve noticed Akko have been improving their switches as of late and I’m happy to see that the factory lubing quality has improved, so I’m glad I gave these a try.

I wanted a set of silent switches for my home office and these have been perfect. Feel good to use and very quiet

Bought these keyboard switches to complete my MSX2 computer. The switches are prefect for this project and manufacturing quality is great.

I bought these switches in May.so far 5 of them failed and registered as double-clicks.To fill a keyboard you need 2 packs and only because am a 75% user, didn't need to buy another.The sound is great, which is the only reason 3 stars are here. They come factory-lubed so there is no need to take them apart however the metal sheet inside which actually registers the click is too flimsy and fails after ~6 months of daily usage (light as I am not an anger typer or big on heavy presses)In nutshell:Sound: GreatEase of use: GreatBuild Quality: Not goodFailure rate: Surprisingly high.
