Smooth, Uninterrupted Linear Action: Enjoy a consistent downward stroke with no intentional tactile bump or click mechanism—suited to gaming and everyday typing. 50 ± 5 gf Operating Force: Akko’s specified operating force provides a clear reference when comparing the feel of different linear switches. 3.5 ± 0.2 mm Total Travel: A defined full keystroke distance pairs with 2.0 ± 0.5 mm pre-travel. More Consistent Factory Lubrication: Akko’s V5 improvements refine lubrication consistency for a smoother, more uniform stroke. Upgraded High-Precision Mold: Updated molding is designed to reduce stem wobble, switch ping and other unwanted mechanical noise. Upgraded LED Diffuser: An integrated diffuser helps distribute light from a compatible RGB-equipped keyboard; the switch itself is not a light source. Stable 5-Pin Installation: Two additional plastic positioning legs help locate the switch on compatible 5-pin mechanical-keyboard PCBs. Adaptable 3-Pin Fit: Akko states that the two extra plastic legs can be clipped for suitable 3-pin mechanical PCBs; check the socket and keyboard first. MX-Style Keycap Support: Accepts keycaps with a standard MX-style mounting structure. Acoustically Thocky Character: Akko describes the sound profile as thocky; the final sound depends on the keyboard, keycaps and build. Organized Collection Packaging: Supplied as 45 switches in Akko’s white collection box with a protective tray.
