Silent, tactile and perfect
Video note: the first switch (Z) is the Penguin, (X) is the KALH Hush Deep Sea Tactile, and (C) is the Boba U4 65g. The rest are Penguins. No dampeners or anything, stock.Extremely consistent switches. The amount of lube they come with is perfect for me. These are a little heavier than your Gateron browns (by 10g I think) but it wasn’t much of a noticeable change for me. They are the quietest switches I have found that also have a very strong bump. In my case I was interested in a sharp bump to give me feedback on when it was actually pressed. There is no travel.I tried the Gateron Browns, knockoff blues, K.A.L.H Hush Deep Sea Tactile, and Gazzew Boba U4’s (65g) and the Shrimps (67g).I noticed the these require noticeably less force (these are 55g) and they are quieter than all 3 of the others mentioned. The Deep Sea’s being the loudest, with the Shrimps and Boba’s being second loudest. (All 4 were quiet, but the Penguins were quietest). The Shrimps had a noticeably sharper bump but a less refined feel. They were closer to your cherry MX blues but felt hollow and cheap. The penguins have a slight “thud” and a smooth feeling click all the way through, aside from the pronounced bump before activation.I also noticed that when fully assembled in my keyboard, they had the least vertical “wiggle” than the others mentioned thus far. This is not really noticeable though.They sit higher than the Boba’s and lower than the Deep Sea’s. Very minimal difference. I didn’t get the Shrimps recorded in the video.Overall perfect this is the perfect switch. A lighter version would be nice though (its a little lighter than avg for these types it seems). I noticed it also has got some padding on the bottom for quieting them, but it doesn’t feel mushy. If you need them for a full keyboard though buy directly, it should be cheaper even with shipping. Will be buying these for all my keyboards from now on. Buy em!

A Hauntingly Smooth Switch
These Akko Dracula switches are a fantastic, quiet, and smooth option for anyone building a new keyboard. My goal was to find a linear switch that was light, pre-lubed, and didn’t have the high-pitched sound common with many other linear options. The POK stem and pre-lubed rails provide an incredibly fluid and satisfying keystroke right out of the box, feeling far smoother than many switches I’ve tried. A minor downside is the sound profile, which, while low-pitched, isn’t as quiet as I had hoped for a “silent” build. This is a perfect switch for gamers or typists who want a quiet, light, and aesthetically pleasing switch without the hassle of manual lubing. Overall, the performance and build quality justify the price, making these a solid 5-star product in my book.

Smooth, lightweight, and quiet
(Reviewing Akko Dracula)Idk why Amazon says they’re frequently returned, because they are pretty much what the product page says.These are the best switches I own (out of around 6 different types I tried so far and a few more if including test switches). I had silent switches before, so what sold me on these was their smoothness. They are the least scratchy switches I’ve tried yet.At 35g of force they’re so lightweight I had to remove some modifications I had in my largest keycaps that were adding some weight; so the switch would come back up with no delay when released. Coming from Kailh Box Silent Browns (65g) I also feel I get less tired typing on these.Noise profile: very quiet, deeper sound (my preference).Smoothness: linear feel, very smooth, minimal stem wobbling, and very light to the touch.Value for money: not the cheapest at $17 / 45 units ($34 for a TKL set), but it delivers, so no regrets.

Akko rosewood switches, absolutely amazing!
I’ve tested a lot of switches over the years I have been in this hobby, from budget linears to high-end customs, and the Akko Rosewood switches completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I unboxed them, it was clear that Akko put real attention into both the design and performance of these switches.The rosewood-inspired colorway is beautiful in person—a deep, elegant reddish-brown that adds a touch of warmth and sophistication to any keyboard build. But these aren’t just about aesthetics. The smoothness right out of the box genuinely impressed me; there’s no scratchiness, no metallic ping, and the travel feels clean and consistent.Typing on them is silky and balanced, with a gentle, cushioned bottom-out that still offers enough feedback for precision. The sound profile leans toward a deeper “thock” with a subtle clack—rich and satisfying without being too loud. When paired with the right case and keycaps, they deliver a polished, premium typing experience.Each switch feels consistent across the board, with tight housings and even factory lubrication. There’s no noticeable stem wobble, and they install firmly into hot-swap sockets. Akko’s quality control continues to impress at this price point.Overall, the Akko Rosewood switches are an exceptional value. They look high-end, feel incredibly smooth, and sound fantastic. Whether you’re building your first custom or upgrading from stock switches, these are an easy recommendation.Bottom line: Excellent craftsmanship, smooth performance, and a refined sound profile. One of Akko’s best linear releases yet.

I have installed to the main raw of the keyboard, it is realy silent and you can feel the force get the feedback. For me I was expecting a higher force but this also works.BTW, I like the package.

Switch lineales excelentes, con un poco más de resistencia que los grises o los rosas que son los que tengo, creo que son bastante buenos para escribir y también creo que funcionarían perfectamente para jugarYo en lo personal tengo en las teclas más comunes para jugar los grises y en las demás tengo estos verdes y los rosas.La calidad de Akko muy buena como siempre 100% recomendados

The switches arrived on time and performed as advertised. Extremely creamy and mute for a fraction of the price of other switches that give you a similar sound. The switches are easy to press, almost too much so, but they feel creamy to press which is a weird sensation I havent had before. Dont expect a marbly pop, theyre very muted switches that give a gentle thock.I wish they offered them in other amounts aside from the akward 45pcs.
