Akko V3 Creamy Blue Pro Keyboard Switch with Dustproof Stem for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin 45gf Pre Lubed Tactile Key Switches (45pcs)

Great product. Sounds really good and was easy to install

***Update*** At least one switch is bad. It happened to be the one I had installed on my left alt key, which caused the windows overlay to pop up while I was typing. Hopefully that's the only one but this isn't a good sign at all. Maybe cheap switches weren't the best idea after all. :( I've been on a mission to find a tactile switch that really suits me. Most recently I had been using Kailh Box Jades, however they required too much actuation force for my taste. I swapped them out for these V3 Creamy Blues, and they are very similar in sound and tactility, but require less force. Overall, I'd say these are fantastic switches, and for the money, they are a no-brainer. *Note that if you are new to tactile switches, and you desire "thock", you may be disappointed. I would describe the sound as leaning more towards clacky, but with thocky undertones. For reference, I have them installed in an Evo80, which had tons of thock with the Oat switches they came with. Unfortunately I typo'd badly with them, hence the appeal of tactile. To date, from a typing accuracy experience, Kailh Box White V2's I have installed in my work keyboard are by far the best. The sound on the other hand, zero thock, all click (hence my mission to find a tactile switch that I can love).

Keycaps sound great and worked perfect in my Epomaker x Feker frame

Seemed to be a decent switch for the value, and was high-quality feeling. However, I did find that the stem of the switch was a little oversized compared to the keycaps I was trying to fit on (Epomaker Aula F99). This probably helps for keycap stability but lots of times I was pulling the switch off entirely with the keycap. The main reason why I will be returning this switch though, is that it ultimately feels like a more sophisticated membrane rubber dome... Let me explain. If you're like me and you're trying to type as efficiently as possible, I try not to bottom out the keystroke at all. So therefore I need a little tactile bump to let me know that I've actuated the key and no longer need to keep pressing the key. The issue is that the Akko Cream Blue starts the bump feeling right at the top of the stroke, which basically resembles you trying to push through the stiffness of a membrane dome and collapsing it. The only main difference is that with the Akkos you get a nice linear feeling after the bump but not much else. This doesn't lend well for typing efficiently because I find that I'm basically forced to bottom out the key every time. So good switch objectively, but I don't understand this design. It feels not much different than a rubber dome.

I've recently gotten back into the keyboard hobby after leaving it for over a decade. There are hundreds if not thousands of switch variations and different spring weights, styles, materials, and stem lengths these days. Honestly, I have a very hard time telling the difference between most because I came from a time where it was just clicky blues, linear/smooth reds, and 'tactile' browns. If you're essentially a beginner like me, these are a great place to start for tactile switches because they're dirt cheap and easy to type on. The official site lists them at 38g operating 58 bottom out force. That is about medium/average. You can buy these try them out and then see if you need something stiffer or lighter. Best of all, unlike the old days, no soldering is required. If you have a hot-swappable keyboard you can just pop these in. On the board I have them on, I barely have any insulation or foam to dampen the sound. I did not lube them or modify the switches in anyway so I use them stock. On that note, they are a bit loud and have 'clack' sound to them. I actually like this because I'm one of those weirdos who likes to use clicky keyboards every once and a while and those are far more louder. I left the gaming star rating blank because I'm not sure how to rate these for gaming. Technically, you should be using a linear keyboard for gaming but using a light or medium tactile keyboard has never bothered me.

This is the best keyboard switches I’ve ever had, the sound is very creamy and soothing, it’s very light and also has a very light spring feel to it i love the light blue color and it comes in a nice box too, it can fit any keyboard fidget or you can also use it for normal keyboard use.

SOUND: The Creamy Blue Pro switches are quite creamy but still clacky as tactile switches tend to be. If you love ASMR or hearing gentle clacking sounds this would be the perfect switch for you. Although they are not as creamy and soft as linear switches, I am still impressed with how soft they are for being tactile switches. They provide a soft "pop" when you type and I am currently typing much more than I need to just to listen to it. QUALITY: All of my switches arrived in perfect condition and in very neat and safe packaging that kept them safe. They were all fully functional without any defects or quality issues on any of the switches. I have been using the keyboard for a few days and have not had any issues. SHIPPING/SERVICE The switches were shipped nearly immediately and arrived just two days after I placed my order. I will definitely be ordering more from this brand, and trying different types.

Okay, so I got the Akko V3 Creamy Blue Pro switches and let me tell you—they don’t click, they pop. Like, buttery little popcorn kernels of happiness every time I type. The sound is this creamy, poppy, aesthetic ASMR dream that makes me want to type essays for fun. (Me, volunteering to do spreadsheets? Who even am I?) It’s not just the sound either—the feel is chef’s kiss. Smooth and satisfying with just enough resistance to make every keystroke feel intentional, like my keyboard and I are having a flirty little conversation. My friends complain about “keyboard noise,” but secretly they’re just jealous mine sounds like a bubble tea shop in heaven. If you want your typing to sound like you’re pouring fizzy soda over whipped cream (in the best way possible), these switches are the one. I’m obsessed. 💙⌨️✨

The stock switches are slightly lubed and work well but I hand lubed these and they now feel and sound even better. The tactile bump and actuation force on these is perfect for me, and very rewarding and zero fatigue while gaming or typing on them for hours. Best bang for your buck, you won't be disappointed!

ممتاز

Guter Sound Hochwertige Switche

様々なキースイッチを試しましたがようやく好みの音に出会えました。 コトコトとカツカツの中間でとにかく気持ちの良い音です。 ASMRなどで視聴してから買うことをおすすめします。 本当に素晴らしい音です。

Great switches that provide a tactile feel without all the noise. These worked well in my handwired custom built. No issues encountered so far.
