Review: Absolute butter!!! - Somehow Akko figured out a way to make silent-ish switches that do not compromise on tactile feel. Compared to a panda or a regular brown switch, the tactile bump is more pronounced while feeling rounder. The Penguin’s bump feels like going over a speed bump smoothly in a car while regular brown switches feel like hopping off of a curb. Factory lubing is excellent too. Very little to no scratchiness or spring ping in my set. Without an LED diffuser, these only let a minimal amount of light through even on a south facing keyboard like mine in the video. Installing them was a breeze, and akkos tray+case packaging is excellent. Typing on these is so smooth and they work well with such a wide variety of key caps. They’re honestly great switches for extended periods of writing and typing, and when you’re done working, the tactile bump also makes them great for gaming. The experience feels luxurious, buttery, and consistent. They’re not perfectly silent per se, but they are so much quieter than a regular switch. Quiet enough that you won’t risk bothering anyone near you while typing up a storm.
Review: Silent, tactile and perfect - Video note: the first switch (Z) is the Penguin, (X) is the KALH Hush Deep Sea Tactile, and (C) is the Boba U4 65g. The rest are Penguins. No dampeners or anything, stock. Extremely consistent switches. The amount of lube they come with is perfect for me. These are a little heavier than your Gateron browns (by 10g I think) but it wasn't much of a noticeable change for me. They are the quietest switches I have found that also have a very strong bump. In my case I was interested in a sharp bump to give me feedback on when it was actually pressed. There is no travel. I tried the Gateron Browns, knockoff blues, K.A.L.H Hush Deep Sea Tactile, and Gazzew Boba U4's (65g) and the Shrimps (67g). I noticed the these require noticeably less force (these are 55g) and they are quieter than all 3 of the others mentioned. The Deep Sea's being the loudest, with the Shrimps and Boba's being second loudest. (All 4 were quiet, but the Penguins were quietest). The Shrimps had a noticeably sharper bump but a less refined feel. They were closer to your cherry MX blues but felt hollow and cheap. The penguins have a slight "thud" and a smooth feeling click all the way through, aside from the pronounced bump before activation. I also noticed that when fully assembled in my keyboard, they had the least vertical "wiggle" than the others mentioned thus far. This is not really noticeable though. They sit higher than the Boba's and lower than the Deep Sea's. Very minimal difference. I didn't get the Shrimps recorded in the video. Overall perfect this is the perfect switch. A lighter version would be nice though (its a little lighter than avg for these types it seems). I noticed it also has got some padding on the bottom for quieting them, but it doesn't feel mushy. If you need them for a full keyboard though buy directly, it should be cheaper even with shipping. Will be buying these for all my keyboards from now on. Buy em!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome switches!
*by D***A on February 1, 2026*

Theses switches are awesome!!! I'm a gamer who's used to creamy linear switches, so silent tactile switches were a big change for me. This is a change I don't regret! These switches sound and feel awesome. VERY quiet, but not silent. I don't know how to best describe the sound, but it sounds like those old keyboard schools used to have in the lab rooms, minus any clickiness. Definitely thocky, and the tactile feel of the bump makes this a lot more enjoyable (if I had gotten silent linears, I don't think I would've liked them). They don't feel mushy, which is a complaint I've heard about silent switches in general, I put these into a RK keyboard which is already lined with foam to help with sound dampening. Definitely recommend these switches to those who want something quiet and enjoyable.
