They sound lovely. They're very smooth. Of course, there may be better switches out there but these are cheap and do a fantastic job. No issues. Only one out of 50 switches was less lubed than the rest, which is overall very consistent.

Wasn’t really expecting to be great given that I paid like 15 bucks for 90 switches which is a bargain really. But the quality and feel blowed me away. They are a bit on the clackier side, but if you have a decently dampened keyboard and prefer a creamy switch with a nice thock at the bottom, almost like marbly sound, give these a try. I have them on my Aula F99 and they just hit the right spot. The keycaps do get a bit tight while putting them on the switch, but those are my keycaps and not Akko’s fault. Really east to install and the pins are very durable. Compared to the Graywood V3, these are much more stronger. The switches are also really smooth and very evenly lubed. Like each switch is consistently lubed which tends to result in a smooth and even typing experience. The RGB gets a bit subdued due to there not being a diffuser or it not having a transparent top, but they don’t bother me.Don’t know why they are being returned or Amazon saying there are better products than this. They are also not that clacky as some reviewers have called them out. Honestly, for the price, this thing hits! I get that it is up to your preference. What may be the best for me might be the worst for you. Even so, I urge you to try these if you are thinking of getting a medium-lightweight switch with the sound profile being a bit creamy and thocky while also having a bit of clack. It’s almost the perfect harmony for me. Some may call me crazy but I prefer these over the Morandi and Gateron Milky Yellow Pros. Akko really outdid themselves with these. Will probably buy the rosewood and botany switch when I build a new board next month.Thanks for reading such a long review. Peace!

I like them! The way I would describe their sound profile would be like a dryer, crispier, deeper clack that borders very closely on thock. They feel super good, and are really consistent from switch to switch. A lot of the pricier switches don't sound or feel as good as the Akko's, so you really can't go wrong with this brand.

I bought these on sale (8.50/pack), but even at full price they're a good deal. They're considerably cheaper than other switches, but no worse in terms of quality. I vastly prefer these to most Gateron switches, and especially to Cherry switches. The tolerances with these feel tighter and overall they feel less scratchy.These aren't the quietest switches - they're still a little rattly. The factory lubing isn't the best, but it's still leagues better than non-lubed switches. Overall I can't find any major complaints, especially for the price!

Great sound and feel for a budget price. Factory lubing is really great compared to other companies as well.

Akko is killing it this year with their switches. While I would like to still be able to purchase the original Piano Pro switches as they sound a little deeper I picked this up to try and they sound and feel amazing.I think I have purchased about 6 different kinds of Akko switches this year and thus far I pretty much love them all. This one definitely has a nice pop to it but is still pretty deeps. The lightness of the feel means it's perfect for gaming and is in my primary board. This will definitely bring a muted board to life and make one with little damping truly pop!Super smooth, no need to hand lube at all and little to no stem wobble. Although the housing isn't clear there is excellent light pass through if you are an RGB fan.The last thing to note about this one and actually all of the Akko switches is the packaging. It's amazing, out of the hundreds of switches I have purchased not a single one had a bent pin. I attribute this to their packaging and the care they take to put it together.These are a few cents more per switch than their cheapest options but definitely worth the extra cost.

My favourite switch hands down. Great price, sound, and feel. Currently using them on a Neo65 foamless, and I love them.I was initially shipped a batch of the old version (not pictured in product listing), which I wasn't a fan of compared to the newer ones you should be getting, due to the far clackier sound and an unpleasant feel I couldn't quite put my finger on describing. I emailed support however, and they sent me a batch of the new ones right away, which I really appreciated.If the details of this linear switch seem appealing to you, I'd absolutely recommend giving them a go. They're my favourite switch for a reason, and I feel they do their job perfectly. All 4 packs I've ordered have been solid and consistent, and they will continue to be my go to linear switch for some time I'm sure.

Mostly good switches, but I think I might have gotten a bad batch as I noticed the switches were scratchy right out of the box. This is the first time I've bought akko switches since I usually get Gateron switches that are prelubed, so I was quite disappointed with the 'factory lube' that is advertised.I hate lubing switches, and I buy all mine prelubed so I can avoid doing that, but these switches basically forced me to have to do it. It was tedious and time consuming to hand lube the switches (good practice I guess), but it mostly fixed the scratchiness I experience out of the box.If anyone gets these switches, just keep in mind that you may need to hand lube them.

I received an opened package of these with the wrong switches, which was NOT Akkos fault. Amazon return center did not even check to see if they were the right item and re-sold them. After contacting Akko support they sent me a new one and it arrived in two days. This company treats it's customers well!As for the switch, the sound they make is clacky and beautiful, it's probably my favorite switch as to noise at the moment. They do sound even better if lubed and filmed. I used 205g.

Poor quality. Some of the pins were out of alignment and bent. Some of the switches would stick once installed making me think that I installed it wrong, but it's just a poor fit. All in all a poor investment and a big waste of time.
