These switches being affordable helped me finally try out other switches. Thought I preferred clicky for years. Got the Akko Starfish and quickly realized why people like smooth linears; now I bought an Akko board that came with Jelly Blues and these tactiles are so fun to type on. Now I want to try the new Purple tactile.
Well too bad cus those cost the double the price in my country :(
@@toastmagico bruh :(
@@carti_opium the shipping is more money than my keyboard itself
EPOMAKER Store if u ask
just buy things from your own regions places
The amount of effort you put in here is incredible. The cinematography, lighting, writing and editing was absolutely top tier. Thank you!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed this!
Bro I agree with this, this guy makes great videos
@@ConsumerTechReview Seriously this was incredibly helpful.
This channel is a masterpiece
@Zaid Alrasheed lmao
I'm new to the mechanical keyboard world, and I just wanted to say that your videos are incredibly helpful! Amazing quality too, it's very clear that you put a lot of effort into them. I sorta made the mistake of buying a north-facing Akko keyboard with Jelly White switches and some cherry profile keycaps before doing 'research', and I was worried about interference after learning. But this is my first time hearing someone mention that about these switches, and I'm glad you did! Just lifted a huge weight off my shoulders haha
My man! You just earned yourself a subscription! This is EXACTLY what i was looking for and its a shame no one is talking more about these switches. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Yes! The go to akko switch reference guide. Great explanation on the differences, including spring lenghts/types, component material and sound profiles stock vs lubed. Love the side by side shots of the disassembled switches and overall super edit, very dynamic video very well done, congrats
Glad it was helpful!
@@ConsumerTechReview so what’s the most silent and quiet ones? I have outmn blue for years and I’ve wondering which one is the best about the noise… is it black or gray/silver? Or starfish like some ppl says? Btw its for gaming and working/typing purposes. Ty for the video!
HOLY SH*T. I knew you said that this was going to be an absolute banger, but the production of this video is over the freaking moon. Love what you're doing here, keep grinding my guy. Also for the shots of just the blank wooden table top, I think a cool decoration, or a small fake plant, or just a watch or something would be nice to see in the background, similar to what randomfrankp does with those shots, just to give it that extra spice. I saw you do it here at 5:29 but in some other shots it was just empty.
So glad you enjoyed!!! And yes I totally agree with you, we've been having issues with space in our house because it's small for a studio which is why I don't have more props. But soon we'll be moving and definitely going to up the quality even more!
Bro I love your B roll.
THIS!!!!
Great timing. I just bought a GK68. Was thinking of going with akko switches. Couldn't decide between matches green and rose Reds. Thanks for the video.
This is one of the most helpful videos I've found since getting into custom keyboards. I think Akko hits a sweet spot in terms of quality and affordability. Seeing so many of their switches compared in this video is fantastic. I recently ordered 3 sets of Akkos, and am looking forward to building a board with them.
I've been on a wild adventure of deciding which akko switch I was going to pick in terms of thockiness, pre-travel, price, and etc., this video literally helped me with the decision and to which I am really happy to stumble upon. Thank you and keep making more videos like this. PS: I went with silver switches and planned to mount them on an RK84 keyb (More expensive in the Philippines though, don't know why)
Just wanna take some time to appreciate the superb production quality of this video! Keep up the good work man!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed!!!
Thank you for such an in-depth guide on Akko switches! I was trying to find a comprehensive guide with all the switches everywhere with no luck. This will definitely help out a lot of people like me who are just starting out and are considering Akko switches because of their price point and quality.
Your editing style is so unique and satisfying to watch, honestly one of my favourite youtubers out there, keep up the good work man 👌👌🔥
Literally was on amazon trying to decide! This video is awesome, especially coming from someone looking to stay in a budget. I was trying to decide if I wanted to go with the Jelly Blacks and I think I will!
The amount of effort and time it takes to make a great quality video like this is crazy , favorite tech reviewer most definitely keep it pushin bro u tha goat💯
Been looking for this type of video for so long. Thank you very much for the very informative and very well made comparison guide/video. More power!
This is the best video ever. Truly. The flow of it, the style, the way you speak, it's so good!

Fantastic video comparison! There were a lot of switches to get through in this video, but each switch review was still detailed. I'm sure this will help many people (myself included) in deciding which Akko switch to pick up :)
Thanks so much much for the comparison of all these switches. I own a Redragon K552 (not modded) with red switches. They sound…ok…but not great. Then I saw your video and felt in love with the Akko Jelly Pink. I ordered them on Amazon, installed them and…wow, what a difference compared to the stock switches. It is a whole new experience in regards to sound and haptic. Now my keyboard finally sounds like I always wanted it to. 😎👍
I'm just starting out in the hobby with my Akko 3068B, but I understand the differences between these switches better thanks to your video! Thanks so much!
Bro I hope AKKO paid you plenty money for this video. The production quality is insane. I literally just changed my whole keyboard build plan to include akko products in it, just because of how well you showcased their switches.
Great video comparison. You've really steered me away from Gats and into Akkos. I found it interesting when you said that the Jelly Blacks have more give when initially pressed and become harder as they go down, vs something like the Reds or Matchas, which are harder from the get go. I'm wondering if this means that keypress is registered more easily (with less force needed) on the Jelly Blacks than the other two. Ie would it be easier to mis-press a key with the JBs vs the other two? Thanks again!
This video is PERFECT. Used this to decide which switch to buy and went with the Akko Silver
wow, Ive viewed the channel for a while now and i can tell this is your pice de resistance, its amazing to see how far you've grown and your skill as a video editor, good job my dude
Thank you very much!
Awesome video! Needed this when I was buying akko switches few months ago but I got what you thought were best for both linear and tactile (lavender purples and jelly blacks) and I absolutely agree with those. But I am curious about AKKO CS Starfish switches. How does the dual stage spring compare to jelly blacks?
it's hard to enjoy the switches when you only press a single key
FRRRR
@@Evan-kb4uw like how tf am I supposed to know what they sound like
He Should at Minimum Full his Keyboard with anything
the quality you always bring is INSANE!! Well done!! one of the best YT subscribes lol
Thank you so much for making this video ! I just received the silver switches and I love them ! ☺️
I bought the jelly blue, and the bump is similar to a U4T IMO. Those who really like tactile will really love the jelly blue. And yes I do own the lavenders too
Thanks for your comment. I was deciding between U4Ts, Lavender Purples, and Jelly Blues but I think I'll go with the Jelly Blues due to the spring, how they look and sound, and the price.
@ゴゴゴFeelsHowdyゴゴゴ sound is different than the U4T. Yes U4t sound deeper, but if you're there for the bumps, go for the blue. Somemore, the jelly case shows so much RGB..
Lavender purple or jelly blue?
@@feelshowdy did you end up liking the Blues?
I just got my rk84 with stock brown switches today
Akko linears are the first linear switches I've actually liked. (I usually prefer tactile switches) The packaging for all of akkos stuff is always top notch too. I've been impressed with this brand tbh
This was very in depth! This definitely was your best produced video yet. Good job!
So glad you enjoyed!!!
THANK YOU!!! I really appreciate back to back sound comparisons!
I originally bought Radiant Reds when I was running out of options for switches to buy myself for my birthday, as soon as I put them into my Redragon Deimos with Tecware Pudding Keycaps (both of which I was convinced to buy from your respective reviews), holy CRAP do they hit the right spots for me in what I look for in a linear switch, just the right weight for both typing AND gaming, they sound s c h m e x y, especially on my clipped and lubed stabilizers, thank you for reccommending these products, I literally cannot stress that enough, you really saved my ass jumping into this hobby.
That's so awesome to hear, so glad my videos helped!!!
which stabilizers are you using?
@@manihast4094 I just used the stock stabilizers, they're good enough for the most part.
Thank you for doing this :) I was about to make my first custom keeb with akko switches, helps me a ton!
Great rundown on all these amazing Akkos. Just got my Akko switch tester which is a must have I feel!
Where did you get the Akko switch tester?
A great, very detailed video, too bad that i didn't find such a video when i bought matcha green. I might get the jelly black if i want to build another board, but they are all good switches and even the package can be used as lubing station.
As someone that used Akko CS Whites, I would recommend to just use them stock since lubing made barely any difference for me at least
Just bought the pre-lubed Lavenders on the advice of another one of your videos - should be a major upgrade in smoothness from my G Pro Blues. Super useful video and fantastic production quality!
Out of all the switches videos, this one is one of the best. Please do more for the other brands with this structure
Man the amount of effort you put into making these videos it's INSANE I can't just imagine myself throwing all those switches like mad It looks very beautiful tho and amazing 🤤😵😄
The tactility of the Jelly Blues is odd, it sort of reminds me of how MX Blues feel, like how there’s a very sharp tactile bump when the click jacket moves down and how you feel another bump on the way up when the click jacket moves back into place. Also the stems are weird, they have two notches on them.
FINALLY!! The video I'm waiting for so long!! Appreciate it man🖤
Siiiick quality video. The effort you out in here does not go unnoticed
I do think it's a good idea to test with cherry profiles; OSA makes the sound inherently thockier and most people don't use it so it might be a little misleading. B-roll is not bad though
So, I’ve tried 4 Akko linear switches so far. Radiant red, Rose red, Jelly black and Silver. Rose red is my least favourite. It feels heavy and mushy. Silver is probably my favourite so far. Light, smooth and snappy. Jelly black is good too. It feels a bit heavier, but still snappy and not mushy. It feels full and solid. It sounds deeper too. I’m not sure about Radiant red. It’s not as snappy. Feels a bit mushy. It has a higher pitch compared to Jelly black and Silver. It’s still OK. In the end, Lavender purple is still my favourite. 😄 It’s the 1st switch I got and yet to find a switch that I like better. I haven’t tried other Akko tactile switches though.
It's raining switches!! Such a well done video. I don't know if it's your board, but every single one sounded fantastic to me, both before and after lubing. I usually hate blue switches, but even the clicky ones here were great. This video really helps a noob figure out the type of sound they prefer. I'm clearly a thock person. It's just fantastic that these are so affordable, as there's not much to be lost by trying many! It would be fun to switch out switches just for a change, and might be better for the fingers, too. Now, time to make a chart with all that info!
thanks for the video, as a linear thock guy i now know to buy the jelly black ones, they just got stores selling it here in Brazil so i'm glad i could find a useful video showind the sound difference for them, thank you
this video literally came out at a perfect time, i'm really torn between the akko linear switches. which akko linear switch do you recommend for someone who always used tactile for typing? i prefer thock but sound isn't a dealbreaker
Coming from tactiles to linears I'd go for the silvers or the matcha greens. Hope this helps!
@@ConsumerTechReview thank you so much! 😊
I've been using lavender purple for 6 months, without a doubt, if you are really lazy to lube some switches and wanna get something above average, get the Akko cs switch whether the jelly version or non. You just can't go wrong with these switches its a lot better compared to stock gateron yellow (ks3x47) or some JWICK
Do you recommend the lavender purples, planning to get them Also, did you lube yours?
@@jamsyt5731 sorry for the late reply i totally recommend the switches, the bump are present and solid while having minimal scratch on stock unfortunately i haven't lubed mine, but if I were to suggest, lubing the spring is a must since the pinging noise its quite audible on my board. i think lubing the housing is enough if you want to get that thocc signature
@@narmandawidhi4366 thank you
@@jamsyt5731 Lavender purple is my favourite (I haven’t tried that much switches though). I did lube mine and they are much better lubed, though stock is already good.
@@azku thank you, I have them stock and I love them already, may lube them someday tho
I love the fact that you get straight to the point
Thanks so much for these videos about Akko, you really put me on to the brand itself.

This video came out literally the day after I ordered lavender purples, and oh my god am I impressed for the price coming from cherry mx browns. I knew browns weren't that tactile but my newbie brain didn't realize how much tactility I was missing truly missing out on especially at this price
Having switched from browns to laveneders myself I totally relate. But then I tried out Sponges and was even more mindblown
@@ramzyrizzle I nearly bought sponges instead. What differences do you notice??
Thank you so much for this video. Im a long time corsair cherry red switch user and am switching (no pun intended) over to akko but needed a thorough review of all the switches. Very good review, thanks!!
which switch did you go with?
I love this channel... When i asked the options of what is the best budget keyboard you made a video and now that i saw akko switches i asked my self which one is good sound and now you made it in one video
As someone who had used Cherry MX brown switches for close to a decade now, having experienced the feel of an Akko Lavender is an eye opener. I never thought tactile switches can be this good! and at less than half the price? That's nuts. Now, I can only imagine what the other more expensive enthusiast switches feel like. Any recommendations?
I'll recommend: Dark Jade, Boba U4T, Durock T1s, C3 Kiwi.
very expensive atm but I have lubed holy pandas in my tofu and they are amazing
Gonna have to argue about north facing interference. My CS purple have problem with cherry profile, even the one that akko made.
Yep. He is wrong. Only CS Silver doesn't have interference.
Amazing quality video ! Thanks. Double bumps jelly blue/sponge makes me think of kailh whites without the high pitch clic, wich is even more satisfying of a sound !
I agree with others, the production value here is insane, considering its "just" for a switch video. I appreciate it though. I just found out about Akko the other day and am obsessing over them. Subbed!

This is how reviews should be done, thank you so much!
I like how your randomly throwing the switches out of cups....why is that sooo satisfying
been waiting for someone to do this was looking for cheap switches to mod my keyboard and akko seem a great choice
Dude the editing and b-roll on this video is fantastic and so nice to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mega comparison, Awesome! Very useful information indeed, appreciate the effort you put in.
Thanks for this video! It helped me a lot to choose the right switches for my keyboard :)
My boyfriend bought me lavender purples for Christmas last year, still have yet to lube them but I absolutely LOVE them over the gateron blues that originally came in my board 😬
I was trying to figure out what akko switch to get. This is the most super helpful video ever
I actually wanted to get Epsilon switches.. but when I saw your video, I just go for the Jelly Blacks.. Thanks for helping me with this budget price range
The video production quality is amazing!! 5 stars, dude!
I've come from the future and have bought the Jelly purples. The stock Gateron browns made me realize tactiles may be more my thing and I love that Akkos are easy on the budget. The purples sound pretty deep without lube so far they are my favorite switches!
Im so happy that this channel exists, i search up sum and find you, i love you man
Just what I was looking for! Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks man I just bought mine today - I got the silver and black switches!
Excellent video, thank you for helping narrow down the choices. I'm going with the jelly black via your link!
this video helped me, because i was thinking of upgrading my redragon k552.Thanks man
So much effort and quality on this video ! Appreciated !
Glad you liked it!!!
fast, simple and straight to the point. very nice
thank you for helping me decide the switches I want I’m building my first ever keyboard and these are very inexpensive and great quality
Your #1 pick from your top mechanical keyboard video comes in either Jelly Pinks or Jelly Purples. What are your thoughts on the Jelly Purples? Do they have the same strange double bump as the Jelly Blues? You've definitely got me looking at the Akko options a lot (they should sponsor you!) Have you checked out their 96% boards? I'd love to see you do a review of their Ocean Star 3098B keyboard!!!! Keep up the great work, Los!
damn the production is on another level for this video, keep it up!
Haha was literally just looking up this for my custom keyboard build thanks! Can always count on you dude
Glad I could help!
This video is stupid... ly high quality, I really enjoyed it. I've been looking at Akko switches for a while.
The ocean blues are currently in my main board and I love them
I got the Akko rose reds for my first custom build and I loved them
man i absolutely love this channel, keep up!!!
That production quality so inspiring!!!
I appreciate videos like this so much.. kudos bro
This video really helped me narrow down my choices. Can you please do a review of the new Akko CS sakura switch as well? I'm torn between that and the jelly blacks but I can't find any sound test for the new sakura switches. Thank you so much!
This would've taken ages to edit and video, great and informative video! Thanks for the tips, I'm new to keyboards and my first keyboard I bought was the razer huntsman mini clicky, I kinda regret it, but now I want to try linear switches and I might get the akko 3086b plus cyan eith pink jelly switches! Thanks for the info!
I use the radiant red and this switch sound amazing for the price even without lubing it
Haven't seen any reviews and comparison yet for the cream blue and yellow. I hope sometime soon you'd upload one. Bought the lavander purple because of this vid and lovin it but I want a change of pace and explore on the switches. Not sure if tactile would be the way or should I go the linear path. Keep up the good work!
I really have respect for this youtuber because his videos are always high quality and engaging to watch! Keep it up I'd love to see you at a million subs some day!!
i came from romer G switches and built my first custom Maxfit61 by Fantech, i got it in reds and felt the reds where too light, i got lavender purples, spent the time to lube them properly and oh my lawd the keyboard sounds incredible and feels like your breaking little glass vials with each press, its feels so nice to feel the switches click through
really really appreciate your hard work, thank you!
Love your videos! Underrated youtuber 🚨 ⚠️ this helped me get the rose reds
This is the first video that I'm watching of yours and I wonder what switch was in the background when you popped on any text on the screen
Yo! The production quality in this vid is just a whole other level xD
