Akko Rosewood Keyboard Switch for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin 40gf Linear Pre-Lubed Switches (45pcs)

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!

If you're looking for a quiet switch, with a decent amount of resistance and a slight tactile bump, these are fantastic in my experience. I've just installed nearly 5 packs of these Akko V3 Pro Penguin switches into two Aula F99 Pros, along with some silicone o-ring dampeners. My girlfriend and I share a small space, and both work from home, so hearing each other clack away (her on Blues for a while, even) became a little distracting for both of us, and she had been getting some 'compliments on her typing speed' while on work calls. These provide enough resistance to comfortably rest on the keys without any fear of accidental actuation. The bump is prominent, but fades quickly, and is less of a strain to get past during the actuation than a standard D-shaped tactile switch. There is minimal, and I mean minimal noise from either the bottom out or the reset of the switch during typing. This is enhanced a bit further in my case with the o-ring dampeners, but I don't believe they were at all necessary.The price is affordable, and every single one of the switches I installed today worked and registered a keystroke with zero issues. These were packed in bins, individually placed in a plastic mold, as opposed to loose in a container. None of the pins were remotely bent upon inspection and during installation - as a result.I've got nothing but great things to say about these switches. If you're on the fence, you won't be disappointed.

Overall, for the price, these are really hard to beat. They are not the quietest switches on the market, but they might be the quietest TACTILE switch I've ever found.These are very well made. They have very little stem wobble, the plastic feels solid, and they feel overall tight and study. The tactile bump is decently crisp, and the actuation weight feels like a nice medium.The typing feel is a little scratchy, and if you listen closely, you can hear it too. However, this is only at a minor level (in my opinion).At the price-per-switch, these are a solid recommendation if you are looking for a quiet tactile switch.

The Rosewoods are nice creamy sounding switches. Awesome packaging, way better than a bag full of loose switches. They are light to type on and feel good.The only problem is the RGB pass through. All colors are converted to red. Seriously, no matter what color you choose it’s going to be red once it goes through these switches.If you don’t care about RGB then go for it.

I love these. I bought a $300 Razer keyboard and, of course, it being Razer, the switches were pretty meh. Super overrated. These, even though they’re really cheap, absolutely outperformed them in responsiveness, sound, and feel. It’s honestly kind of ridiculous how much better they are. Obviously sound and feel is subjective, but this company is killing it — any of their switches would be a huge and worth it upgrade.
