AKKO just added to its collection of AKKO switches with more than 25 different offerings. This collection of switches includes a large enough variety to accommodate nearly any mechanical keyboard enthusiast, as the 29 items vary in color, actuation force, lubrication amount, feedback style, and more.
The AKKO switches are sold in 45-piece boxes, meaning a full-size keyboard requires two boxes to fully replace each switch. However, the packages are priced between $12.99 to $20.99 per box, which is quite affordable when compared to other offerings on the market. This results in a price of 28 to 45 cents per switch, whereas many competitors charge $1 to $2.
The AKKO lavender purple 36gf tactile switch is an excellent example of the company's attention to detail. This switch features an 18mm extension spring that delivers light-to-medium tactile feedback and a noticeable tactile bump. Additionally, this switch has an LED slot that accommodates many backlit keyboard styles.
