EDIT#1 - 4/22/21: ALOT of people have been asking me if these fit on outemu hotswap sockets. I can't confirm they do, but someone else here on youtube put them in his board that uses those and said they worked fine no problems at all. Don't take my word for it tho, just letting you know. And appreciate you guys using my link, it allows me to invest into better production and videos ^-^ Thanks for all the love on this video, was really not expecting it to do this well. If you enjoyed a sub would be appreciated but not necessary at all! I do have an affiliate link that supports the channel. In general these sound amazing, some people did not hear a huge difference so let me know if you want me to try these out on a brutal60 or tofu acrylic (waiting on more boards rn). Other than that any feedback on the vid helps out so much and just thanks again
Subbed! Great review and I liked seeing some unfamiliar switches being brought to light. Everyone and their mother go with mainstream ones but we could wind up missing out on some hidden gems. Keep it up! :D
Time Stamps for Sound Test :)) 7:16 Stock rose red 8:52 Stock ocean blue 10:25 Stock matcha green 12:02 Lubed rose red 13:40 Lubed ocean blue 15:12 Lubed matcha green
I'll admit at the beginning I was thinking this was a review of some "budget" switches like some other videos I've seen. I was genuinely surprised how affordable these ones are and had to pick up the ocean blues and the match greens!
@@quitepossiblylucky Surprisingly good, I put them on my GMMK Pro and the stock sound is very good. They do benefit from a light lubing. The one thing to be aware of is they are three pin switches so not the most ideal for hot swap boards but they've work for me without a problem.
@@PrestonTalkZZZ Thanks for the info! My keyboard only supports switches with three pins, so these would work just fine. I'm thinking about getting these b/c I currently have Halo Clear switches and oh man... are they a workout for my fingers. I need something a tad bit more lighter lol They are about $17 on Amazon, which isn't bad at all. I'll definitely give them a try.
I use the rose 43g with 3.5mm of travel, those are good for FPS games as you are bottoming out faster than the traditional 4mm switches like Gat yellows, it does help with typing faster also, but some people might feel that they are being stopped prematurely and wont like them as they have been typing with more travel and are programmed with 4mm , the sound that they give off is pleasantly nice. I used 3404 without filming as the housing was too tight for my films and would not close with them, I dont think these need filming in the first just a lite dap of lube and you are set. These and the Durock L-series 55g yellows are my go-to's.
Holy moly, these switches are the closest mx style switches that sound like white linear space invaders. And I considered those to be the best sounding linears ever
@@computerhoofd Technically true, but also keep in mind that there's also simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese, though most areas use simplified these days.
Been using the Matcha Greens (lubed now) in my BM40, and they are super nice for the price. I definitely want to pick up some of the Rose Red, since I tend to prefer a lighter actuation. But, for real, these punch way out of their weight class, highly recommend them so far. Easy to work with, easy to open up and lube, and offer a surprisingly good performance stock, but get pretty buttery with some lube. Prefer them to Gateron Yellows myself.
They sound pretty close to my Gatheron Optical Reds Lubed in their stock version daaaaaamn! For comparison i would love to hear the switches alone without keycap and unmounted with a fingertest just to hear the raw switchsound in their stock and lubed version :) Good Video! For my next build i will get some! even when i love my GOR for now^^
@@mhmepiccool2703 The smoothness of the switches feels nice. The key sound is actually pretty good even with no lube. Although it's slightly too light to try not to bottom out the switches for typing. But for gaming, they are light enough to not give my fingers cramps and it performs well.
I am going to pick up a few sets of these in various colors. From this review these actually sound better and seem smoother than gateron yellows which are my go to for budget builds. Now if they could make these in silents for my silent fans I would be twice as happy. Thanks for the review. You just got a new subscription in me my good sir. Keep up the great work.
These switches are *chefs kiss* for its price. Akko just released three new switches: vintage white, lavender purple, and radiant red. Will you please try them out? 😍 Thank You
I have their lubed pink switches and, while I've mostly tried cherries, these are far and away better than those. Definite win in my book considering the price.
The packaging looks so cool I wish I didn't fall into this rabbithole. I swear I barely have like two months on outemu silent whites to replace outemu blues and now I want to explore more reeeee
@@sviz The V1 Milky Yellows were bad but the V2 are improved they sound similar to Black Ink V2's. The Cap V2 Gold sound just like Black Ink V2. Can you try get some I think they came out like a month ago?
@@lemondemon1121 facts I just ordered two batches of roses reds from there website cause in Amazon there sold out and there almost sold out on the Akko storepage
Thanks for this video! I was super indecisive of what switches to get next, I'm a teenager so they needed to be budget. This video helped out a ton! I'm getting the Ocean Blues ofc!
Great video 👍My only piece of constructive criticism would be that the sound tests don't need to be so lengthy. I'd say 30-45 seconds of testing the sound for each switch would suffice for most people. Especially, when you're testing multiple switches in the same video. Keep it up though! You're on your way to building a nice fan base if you're quality stays consistent 👍
@@taida6222 roses are great, hoping akko decides to come out with more switches because these are killer deals, look amazing, handle lube well. Now if they included their own switch opener too that would change the game haha
just did a build around the ocean blues and i have to say, they sound and feel bloody amazing! i have no idea how these are 15 aussie bucks because they are so fricking good.
Just a small tip for camera angles, if your camera's going to be on your right, I suggest you test the mods using your left hand so we can see more of the keyboard vs the back of your hand. If you're right-handed however, do consider moving the camera to your left. I don't know if you have movable lights you use to illuminate your videos but definitely consider it. Edit: this was a nicely done video however!
Gotta sub for this, absolutely professional quality. I just wish there were time stamps throughout the video to make it a bit easier to compare sounds.
I appreciate the packaging. For such an affordable switches, it kinda sucks now to pay double to triple the price for switches that just come in a plastic bag lol
I've never bought any switches before and I'm very keen on getting these, though i wonder if you've ever had some broken switches after receiving them from the mail? I have no clue if I need to buy extra spare switches in case i do receive some duds.
Jesus christ these blow out of the water some of the more expensive switches IN STOCK, good vid btw, really calm and relaxing and good audio quality, keep it up man !
@@nicoprasetyo4553 yeah i use them as my daily driver, they're really nice, the tactile bump is great and the sound is super good stock, but I have since lubed them and they're probably my endgame honestly.
That lubed tactile sounds waaaaay much better than those expensive mainstream tactiles in the market. Your production is very clean, you got a sub my dude. Very nice review.
