Pros

These are the best linear switches i have tried. They are smooth out of the box but it does get smoother when lubed. Without lube and film they are buttery smooth.

Akko keyboards are nothing too fantastic about but holy god their switches are fantastic - and sinfully cheap! Akko switches even have the additional bottom side cutouts to fit older style pcbs with raised leds. These jelly black switches feel and sou...  Read More

I bought the sponge switches - which seem to be the jelly blue switches with a different colored housing, but since my build ha...  Read More


I lubed the switches as well but even before then, i thought they sounded great right out of the box.

Competitiveness


These switches are very smooth, sort of like a gateron yellow which if you don't know, are pretty smooth.
