Review: Eye catching tactile switch - 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.
Review: Nice "medium" weight switches with smooth travel and a satisfying click! - I purchased these to replace the "Wisteria" switches included with my Epomaker Split65 (also purchased from desertcart.) 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.
