Thank you so much! I originally discovered these switches from watching your video on them, so I’m blown away that you found my review on these switches, and I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
I picked these up the other day and can’t wait to lube them when my lube comes in. I have to say the sound was really nice when lubed. I like the quality of the content so you’re getting a sub :)
@@slowtyper95 The tactile touch is right at the beginning of the stem's travel, not at the middle like other common switches, for example Brown (Well, Brown feel like linear to me by the way). Ocean Blue is light with just 40-45g tactile force and sound kinda loud unlubed, you can even hear the springs. While Lavender Purple is medium with 50-55g and a much more pleasant clack sound.
@@lazzycat985 isnt the Lavender have shorter spring/actuation? 35g if i am not wrong Already tried ocean blue. Not really a fans tho. Lubed but still sounds plasticky or "hollow" 😂. Currently rocking gateron brown
The thought of lubing these makes me weep but I think these will be a nice inexpensive switch replacement for my inexpensive tecare KB. Solid review, thanks.
@@nadtz no, you need to lube them you can't get away with unlubed budget switches, however these akkocs are pretty smooth stock,the problem is spring ping tho.. you could just lube the springs but if you're going through that effort just take the time to lube
@@sensuku My plan is to get all the stuff needed and one day when I'm really bored take a few hours and get it done. Thinking about maybe getting a slightly better chassis so still just planning this all out for now.
Love how they are compatible with outemu pcb since I only have them for now hha. I dont have to mod every single of the switch like gateron to fit it in. I love tactile switches so I got the blue one. Very nice for the price!
What you can do if you have a cheap hot swap outemu board is buy these switches (it fits in outemu hot swap sockets) lube them, replace the top of the akkos with the top of the outemus(for pure ranbow puke) Ps: for lubing switches you need to open the switch witch a kailh opener not cherry ok
I wish you would make a mod video for Crystal Clear cases. like how to to rid of the hollow sound with out taking a way it's clear. I do not want to seeing pillow inside or have there's some tape. i don't if it is possible.
Great video, I really like them but they are just way too loud. I want to change my clicky blue switches with something a lot quieter but not one of those slient switches cause they're mushy. Maybe review the match greens next time plz?
I have a cheap mechanical keyboard with outemu blue, i have it for like 4 years! After very intense use, some of the switches are not "clicky" anymore! Can i change them with these ones? Or are these for some exclusive keyboards?
Hi so im switching from mobile to mechanical keyboard,and I was wondering linear would be a good choice for me,but I think tactile will be better for not me typing accidentally.If tactile please recommend a tactile switch that's a little light for my teenager fingers with an actuation force of 40-50 grams,i would not mind bottom out but could be 55-62 grams
@@kravenaaa1986 Hey, it's been a while since your original question, but I've gotten some Boba U4Ts and I can say with certainty that the Boba U4Ts are more tactile than the Ocean Blues, sorry it took so long but I finally got around to it :)
This is the exact one that I used, Get the Fine Tip 01 if you want it, www.aliexpress.com/item/33050461504.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4di7P8Oi Personally I recommend to use an even smaller tip because this brush is slightly too big, especially for tactile switches, because some lube will inadvertently get onto the legs, even if you're trying to avoid it
They sound much better after lube. But man that amount of lube really triggered me, it's like 4 times what i usually put on my switches haha. But each to their personal preferences though, and seem you're using a thinner lube than mine (205g0).
I do prefer my switches lubed pretty heavily, and I do think that G-Lube is thinner than 205g0, it’s been described as close to Tribosys 3204, which is in between 205g0(linear recommended) and 203g0/3203(tactile recommneded). Appreciate the comment though!
I think yiu should try to outemu I personally actually prefer them over cherry brown i know cherry brown sucks but just saying its abit scratchy but i still like it that is has more bump and its like ariund 10$ for 70 switch so might as well try
I have already ordered all the swtiches and picking up a 3068 v2 with CS Pink. This switch looks like screams value! And, speaking of value, I do agree. I can't think of any tactile swtiches that cheap! Gat browns and Cherry browns feel meh! Regarding Spring lubing, do u think Bag lubing with super lube be okay for these switches like the other MX Style switches? And speaking of switch sound, they sound quite clacky, similar to switches based on halo True Stem. I have a board with FL.CMMK pink switches that sound almost as clacky as this!
I'm not sure if bag lubing the springs will work, because I personally haven't tried it before, since I usually lube my switches over the course over a few days, but I feel like bag lubing will still help to eliminate the spring ping on these switches, and they do sound pretty clacky after lubing, and if that's what you like, then I think that these switches are great, thanks for the support!
I see switches cost more than 5 time that have worst packaging These switches probably have the best packaging ever seen on any switches Lube station for you in the box too
I definitely agree! The packaging on these switches are so nice and the tray doubling as a make-shift lube station is also really nice, makes the switches feel more premium
I swapped out the stock stabilizers for Everglide Panda Stabilizers from KPrepublic, and I would say they are a solid upgrade from the stock GMMK stabilizers, but I clipped, lubed and holee-modded the stabilzers in order to improve the sound and feel of them and minimize rattle.
I haven’t tried the Rose Reds yet, but if you’re curious as to how they are, I highly recommend watching Sviz’s video on them. I do plan on reviewing the Rose Reds and the Matcha Greens in the future, so look out for that once it’s released!
At the moment, are you still on Akko Ocean Blue tactile switches? or are you back to Linear ones? Just curious since I've been with tactiles for more than a month now.
@@Turboards sweet dude! I actually got the Akko Matcha Greens to go with a new build. Looking forward to future videos to see how deep you go down the rabbit hole 😋
@@SamThomas004 Appreciate the support! I’ve actually got a keyboard build on the way for a video, so I feel like whilst I’m going deeper into the rabbit hole of keyboards, my wallet’s progressively getting emptier haha
I’m not too sure if these switches can support films, as switches with a kailh style housing typically don’t support films, but these switches are still relatively tight on their own, so I personally wouldn’t feel the need to film these anyways.
these dont sound like they do in most videos. Idk if its your board but it probably is because it looks so thin. if anyone wants more sound tests i recommend looking at vids with different boards instead of making just one video the deciding video.
I bought them at a local store, but you can buy them on Tai-Hao’s website, and I think you might be able to get them on mechanicalkeyboards.com. Not sure about the latter though
As long as you avoid lubing the legs of the stem and the leaf you shouldn’t lose any tactility. I lost some because I used a brush that was too big and got some lube on the legs
@@FateSoulzZ I can’t say for certain since this is the first switch I’ve tried with a noticeable tactile bump, but if you watch Sviz’s video, he describes them as similar to a Durock T1.

@@Amutomoto I used G-Lube, and while I haven’t tried other lubes yet, from watching other youtubers, I can see that it’s a thinner lube than Krytox 205g0, but I don’t know how thin it is compared to a common lube for tactiles, like 203g0. Should still give great results though!

so how was it? because ive bought some and have yet to try them

What you can do if you have a cheap hot swap outemu board is buy these switches (it fits in outemu hot swap sockets) lube them, replace the top of the akkos with the top of the outemus(for pure ranbow puke)
Ps: for lubing switches you need to open the switch witch a kailh opener not cherry ok
You'd defo need spares or be really careful though because outemu switches are tight as hell and can break when you try to open them

Edit: just realized you put it in the description, now i dont seem nearly as cool :/
A+ for effort! Still impressive that you were able to recognize the song
in my opinion I would advise not putting lube in the hole as it reduces tactility

@@Amutomoto I used G-Lube, and while I haven’t tried other lubes yet, from watching other youtubers, I can see that it’s a thinner lube than Krytox 205g0, but I don’t know how thin it is compared to a common lube for tactiles, like 203g0. Should still give great results though!
10 dollars for 36 switches lmao
