Akko V3 Penguin Tactile Silent Keyboard Switch for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin 50gf Quiet Switches with Standard MX Structure, for DIY Kit/Gamer Barebones Keyboard (45pcs)

I switched over to these from gateron milky yellows (linear switches with greater activation force), and instantly a few things are noticeable - the unbelievable quietness - the subtle but definitely noticeable tactile bump at the beginning of the key press - the pins and housing build quality seems much better, I was gentle so as not to blow my hot swap sockets on the board. - Very affordable, especially if you have a keyboard with less than 45 keys Tactiliy + quietness is kinda like the holy grail of switches for a lot of people who work in crowded offices, and Akko nailed it. I think it is the rubber lining at the bottom of the switches i think that makes it so. Minor drawbacks I know a lot of people enjoy slamming the keycaps and bottoming out, because of the rubber lining, you don't quite get that feeling with these, it's almost like rubber dome when you bottom out, so you might hate that. Out of the box, these are a bit scratchy feeling (which I like), and, I hear that these have about a week or so break in period. But, if you have the ability to lube them, do it, I think that would make em feel even better. Overall, can't go wrong with these if you like tactile switches and if you won't miss the clacks and thoccs. Highly recommended !!

Fantastic quality, the best switches I have used. I have been through a fair few options and although the feel/sound is personal preference they are so quiet and look and feel great. All arrived in tidy packaging and all working as intended. Best product I have bought on Amazon in ages.

Good but not what was expected

These switches are so smooth and silent, I love them! They all fit and functioned perfectly, backlight comes through well and they have improved my typing and gaming experience immensely. Coming from cherry red switches, which were quiet but still a bit clicky for me, these switches are silent and feel great

The penguins are just a classier experience/ introvert's dream. People are obsessed with the thwock and the bazang and the smengus or whatever they're calling each noise a keyboard sounds like (you do you) but these are for people who want the feel of the board without yelling about it.

I ordered a bunch of switches to test them out on my Rainy 75. I ordered 'thock', 'creamy', 'silent', 'linear', 'tactile' etc and these were the ones that I loved most. Being relatively new to mechanical keyboards I knew very little about switches but was kinda getting a bit tired of the 'clackiness' of the the HMX Violet. I put all of new keys on the boards and these are the ones I loved most. There is a little 'tactile' bump which cannot be described rather only felt and it means that I am not tapping the wrong keys with my heavy fingers by accident. They do not feel mushy like some people ask about on forums. They are not completely silent but close enough. I could take this keyboard in the office now now problem whereas, I couldn't previously. So I am sold on tactile and I love these switches. Will rock them for at least a few months! PS The enter key is one of the old HMX switches for comparison

I never leave reviews but I picked up an RK M75 with brown switches and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet they were. Still some sound but low enough for office/home use. I was thinking I had wasted purchasing these penguin switches, but when I tried one I was even more surprised that the sound profile on those is zero. You can here 0 clicking or anything of the sort. As silent as I think you're going to get without going into the 1% territory of internet obsessives. Fantastic switches.

Easily the quietest tactile switches I've tested, and I bought these batches to fit my whole keyboard out with.

Ich habe diese Switches im Juni in den Prime Days im Angebot für 16€ gekauft und bin begeistert. Ich habe mir diese zusammen mit einer Endorfy Thock TKL linear red switches bestellt und zunächst die Kailh boxed red linear switches verwendet. Das Tippgefühl war okay, nicht so leise wie erwartet bei linear switches aber okay. Da ich jedoch zum Vergleich die Akko Penguin silent tactile zur Verfügung hatte, musste ich ausprobieren, ob es da einen grošen Unterschied gibt. Der Unterschied ist riesig! Diese Switches sind wirklich leise, von Werk aus mit anständig Schmiermittel versehen und sorgen für ein wahnsinnig gutes Tippgefühl. Ich habe kurz in Erwägung gezogen ein Stern abzuziehen, weil ich den tactile bump nicht feststellen kann. Habe mich zunächst jedoch gegen den Punktabzug entschieden. Ich werde noch eine Weile im Gaming darauf achten, ob ich sie drin belasse oder nicht. Ich bin häufig spät abends am PC, entsprechend müde und so kommt es häufig zu Fehleingaben, wenn meine Fingerspitzen auf den Tasten ruhen. Deshalb wollte ich tactile statt linear ausprobieren und schauen, ob sich das bessert. Ich fürchte, da sich die Switches vom Gefühl nicht groß von linearen Switches unterscheiden, könnte das hier wieder der Fall sein. Aber wenn es dazu kommt, gibt es hier ein Update. Bis dahin Kaufempfehlung

Très bon switchs, acheté pour le bruit de mes anciens insupportable, cela je les adore le bruit et aussi la frappe très agréable.

Gli Akko Penguin Silent sono semplicemente eccellenti e confermano ancora una volta che Akko è una garanzia quando si tratta di switch meccanici. Il feeling è incredibilmente soddisfacente, con un’azione fluida e precisa, ma ciò che li distingue davvero è la loro silenziosità. Perfetti per chi cerca prestazioni elevate senza il rumore tipico degli switch meccanici, rendendoli ideali per ambienti di lavoro o sessioni di gioco notturne. La qualità costruttiva è impeccabile, come ci si aspetta da Akko, con una durabilità che si sente fin dal primo utilizzo. Ottimo anche il feedback tattile, bilanciato in modo da offrire la giusta resistenza senza essere troppo rigido. In sintesi, se stai cercando switch silenziosi senza compromessi sulla performance, gli Akko Penguin Silent sono una scelta eccellente.

Muy silenciosos, bien prelubricados. Pero el tacto es un poco gomoso, no son los más rápidos

Parfait pour ceux qui recherchent un clavier d’une douceur exquise, agréable, sans le désagrément du tic-tac constant à chaque pression sur une touche ! C'est un véritable ravissement d'écrire en toute quiétude. L'assemblage est aisé, tout comme le démontage des autres interrupteurs. Une fois installé, vous pouvez jouer ou rédiger sans produire le moindre son... Honnêtement, c'est exceptionnel !!!
