Finally, an actually good review! Thanks, I've decided for Akko V3 cream yellows for my next build! :D
Glad I could help! happy you found my channel
i got the same ones they sound amazing
How do they feel? Wrists and fingers. I'm looking to get a keyboard, and all these terms are a bit confusing.
Does it need low-med-high force to press? I really like the sound.
@@dorcasmalahlela2805 med-high force id say but im not the best person to ask because i havent tried out many switches
@@dorcasmalahlela2805I feel it's lighter if your coming from a membrane, and it's a bit heavy if your used to mechanical keyboards, especially something like cherry mx reds, gat reds, or any other switch commonly found in stock keyboards. I do recommend these for the price. In my country, these things are $0.27 a piece, and even cheaper getting the boxes. the weight is 58g for actuation force, which I think is best for me, because I find gat yellows too light. Coming from a membrane, I think this isn't for you, because it may be too light, and will affect your typing speed or gaming performance. The actuation force really depends on the user, cuz my friends and parents find it too light, because most of them come from membranes.
So in conclusion, yes I recommend this if it's not your first time you tried mechanical keyboards, but if you're from membrane, do consider something else. And for this I recommend jwick ultimate blacks with the 63.5g spring, because it's a similar feel, just linear, and as soon as you get used to it you can try basically any other switch no problem, unless it's heavier. I think it needs a mid press, because this is my 2nd custom I've built now. Good luck, and I hope this helps :D
The Keebroll cuts are so useful for judging the switches, wish more reviewers did that! Thanks for doing this extensive showcase of the Akko switches.
Just commenting that for the interference section, you could have presented the data in a table (YES/NO interference as the column headers and the switch name/pictures underneath, pole length and other data optional) instead of just showing them on camera and relying on subtitles, since it makes it much more easier to understand at a glance.
hi! thank you. happy to be able to do such video. 🙇♀️
I’ll make sure to improve on that area. thank you for the inputs 😀

Awesome video! I learnt about my current favorite switch (Akko V3 Cream Yellow for those people wondering) from you quite recently. Amazing videos! Love all your shorts!
hi!
im using the cream blues and really loving it. hoping to grab more of this newlines from akko
Congrats on 1.25k subs, gl on the road to 2k. Ur growing at a really fast pace.
it iss! quite overwhelming 🫠
Thank you this was super helpful ^^ I love how the cream yellows sound
Glad it was helpful!
My favorite part is that they’re not just recolors! And the extended pole of the silver.
solid + informative vid! but brooooo.... you really lubed all THAT
you bet i did 😵
wow this video is so helpful! I'm taking notes before buying my next switches. Thank youuuu :)
thank you so much ~
heyo, just did a snow blue grey build, to get a more deep sound, 100% lube them, its worth the effort honestly. im addicted to how good they sound
I had them on my zoom65 v2 build!
@@mczstudio Sickk, I kinda want to get the Akko match greens, just to really see the difference in sound. But I love the deep hollow thock sound I get on my space bar with the snow blue greys
I straight up heard a dolphin sound when I first click on cs stock crystal's timestamp
What should I get? I’m debating on:
- AKKO V3 Cream Yellow Pro
- AKKO V3 Cream Black Pro
- AKKO V3 Silver Pro
Which one should I get?
I used to have a Red Switch Keyboard but had to buy a new one cuz it broke.
I now bought the same keyboard (RK61) but in came with Brown Switches because it was on sale.
Which one should I get from the 3 Switches I mentioned?
I want to try something different than Red Switches BUT would give me almost the same experience.
Have you changed up any parts between these switches to make your ultimate Akko (Frankenstein) switch?
If so, what has been some of your favorite combination(s)?
hi! no, i don’t do frankenswitch on my akkos 🫣
Good video, really nice effort checking the cherry interference too!
I got asked about it alot. And I might have answered wrongly to some people before :(
Is it me or do the cream blues sound better than the yellows?
its personal preference! whatever you deemed better sounding is valid :)
@@mczstudio I couldn't tell a difference lol. I'll go with the cream yellows because cheaper and I'm already buying keycaps from akko so it makes sense
Is every 5 pin switches compatible with eachother?
I have an akko 5075B Plus, and i dont know what kind of switches can i replace.
thanks bro, this helped finding switches that i liek
welcome!
Have you ever tried the akko rose red ? And if you have would you recommend it over the cream yellows ? Please let me know🥺
heyy. no sorry. i haven’t tried it yet. 😞 werent they discontinued already?
i a still deciding between the cream blues and the yellows
get both? 😜
I wish there were timestamps on this video, but ty for the informative video!
there is!
@@mczstudio ah, I meant the ones embedded in the video. it's easier to navigate for mobile users
@@mr.swedishfish12 if you mean chapters/moments, it should be there by now :D
Hi MCZ, do you recommend adding .15 switch films to linear switches (particularly Cream Yellow v3) apart from lubing or lubing itself is already enough? Thanks!
no, i dont think films are necessary as the housings are tight enough. i would recommend to lube the cream yellows tho, for that ultimate buttery feels 💯
this was genuinely so helpful, thank you!! i need to change the switches in my board and have been super overwhelmed by options 😅
it is, I was overwhelmed too. In fact, I'm still overwhelmed by until now. ~
I love my cream yellow v3
How tf all of his/her swtiches sounds so deep and thocky
hey there. you might want check out the keebrolls around 11:55 mark! the sound profile kinda changed alot when used on a different board
@@mczstudiowhat keycaps do you have and where did you get them?
Because they're using a kbd 67 lite with a polycarbonate plate I think, it depends on the materials. For example the sound profile changed when they used the acr 75 pro
because of the mods the keyboard has plus her mic must be very good
I also think that his strokes are gentle and often probably do not bottom out at all….? When I type, it’s the opposite - I really hit the caps hard and that sounds surely different :)
What mods are on your kbd67? It sounds incredible
tape mod and durocks! i did the full build here ->
th-cam.com/video/JyYt70KxHRI/w-d-xo.html
Great video, thanks for taking the time and effort. 👍👍👍👍Subbed
thank you ~
What's the keyboard where there are sound all thock???
its a kbd67 lite
Out of all these switches which one did u think sounded the best (in thockness)
for me the best sound profile is the akko cs crystal silver on my mod006 pc plate with a keebtabe.
im afraid i cant credit the best sound profile on the switch alone
Hi!
Which akko switch would you recommand stock? Im kinda new to this hobby and too lazy to lube haha
i’d say the crystals are a must lube.
the v3 line, snow blue grey and cs air are fine stock. though definitely better when lubed.
the pom line are scratchy ootb but pom materials tend to smoothen out over time with prolonged usage.
@@mczstudio I think ima go with the cream yellow v3 stock. They sound so creamy!
Does someone know a keyboard under 60€ or dollars where i can put the akko v3 cream yellow ones on?
I might've missed it but what board are u using and with which mods
you can check the board buil from here! i did silicon tape and durock v2 for stabs. the rest are from the stock kit!
th-cam.com/video/JyYt70KxHRI/w-d-xo.html
which is the thockiest for u?
cream yellows
Hello po, fan from the Philippines here, ganda po ng content niyo 😁 sana ako rin makapagcontent ganyan! Keep it up po, pawer!! 💯
haha pasok lang suki. salamat po 😂
What Are These Keycaps?
here you go amzn.to/3HYs1Ek
What is the name of the keyboard and is there a 60% kind of it
this is kbd67 lite.
Can someone help me? I currently have cs silver and planning to get the cs crystal silver, what are the main difference? I am aiming more on gaming side and thockier sound profile would be a bonus, appreciate it! Thanks!
from what I know the cs crystal silver is meant to be poppier than the cs silver because of the materials used . and for better rgb
By poppier what do you mean?
I am having a hard time hearing a difference is that just me?
What switch opener do I use for the cream yellows?
you can check here around 0:24 mark 😁 th-cam.com/video/dpBelXKdSO8/w-d-xo.html
@@mczstudio I can’t tell what switch opener it is I’m still new 🥲
you can use kailh switch opener for the creams. but i suggest get the 2in1 opener like this one : kbdfans.com/products/gb-2-in-1-machined-aluminum-switch-opener
@@mczstudio ok thanks I’ll try to find a cheaper one 😁
Do the cream yellows fit outemu sockets?
from what i know the akko cs switches does fit outemu sockets. these v3s should fit as well . (though i have yet to try it myself to 100% confirm) i referred to this
en.akkogear.com/faq/are-akko-switches-compatible-with-outemu-sockets/
Okay thanks
Which are the silentest?
hi! none of these is actually silent! tho i think the cs air produce lesser volume compared to the rest!
@@mczstudio thx. Yea I know the aren't silent. I had gateron browns and Razer ornata chroma. I don't think the are more louder
5:40 & 5:48
what keycaps are those

@@mczstudio okay, did you gasket mount it? and will boba u4t sound better on a tofu65
Best unlubed?
v3 creams
@@mczstudio yellow or blue?
Hey guys! If you have to choose between lavender purple pre-lubed and cream blue, which option would you go for?
cream blue is too "tactile" for me. I'd probably go for the lavs. (you got me at pre-lubed)

The cream blues are my favorite tactiles from Akko. This is the only P shaped (early bump) tactile bump from them afaik & they have a clacky sound (high pitch, but not poppy like the crystal blues). I would however swap the springs to a lighter 22mm spring for a snappier feel. At only ~$5.5 from Taobao they are AMAZING value.
dang Taobao is definitely the way. Sucks my google translate dont work so well on that site :(
@@mczstudio yeah they have many budget keebs & switches that the world doesn't know about
i cant find akko cream blues on taobao w2c?
Is cream blue tactile heavy?
@@aseannessienot well people in china and singapore definitely do
Hey everyone ~ please take note that soundtest may vary from board to board. And keycaps interference check is done using my generic clone keycaps. it may varies and interference is not always guaranteed. ~ thanks to Bunny from Akko for pointing it out. Happy to always learn something new!
Update on prices:
Crystal silver : $16.99 en.akkogear.com/product/akko-cs-crystal-silver-switch-45pcs/?ref=mczstudio
I found myself really indecisive with switches and I was always buying expensive switches, but this week I've decided to give akko a shot with the Akko V3 Cream blue pros and I'm really liking them, so most of the switches I buy now will probably be from akko so I'm not spending so much on switches haha.
What’s your favorite?
hmm, for the typing feels. cream yellow
on how how accurate and fast i can type on it would be pom silver
for the sound profile. hmm, snow blue grey.
sorry! its just impossible to choose one :D
airs
Akko V3 Cream-yellow🔥🔥
Is there a 10 piece version of the blue creamy v3? I ordered 2 boxes (90) but they sent me 9 boxes each box have 10 switches and im scared it may not be original
i think its possible that retailers repack some switches in order to cater to smaller orders. but if you buy directly from Akko, they only sell in 45's
@@mczstudio hmm, ok thanks!
Wow, those were a lot of switches to cover and lube. Thank you so much, wish we could see more love and detailed coverage like this one for Akko switches on TH-cam. You got yourself a sub.
The only Akko switches I've owned are Jelly Blacks (hand lubed) and Lavenders (pre lubed). I like both linears and tactiles a lot and was looking for something as creamy as my lubed Jblacks(they're amazing on my Keychron v1), but a little bit lighter and easier to press. From all your replies seems like V3 cream yellows would be the answer, but they're out of stock at my local Akko vendor (can't buy directly from Akko because of customs issues).
Trying to decide between the CS airs and the v3 Cream Blues. I don't really mind tactile, but I doubt I'll find an experience better than the lavenders. Maybe if I lube the CBs heavily enough. Idk, ranting now!
Anyway, excellent video and thanks.
cream blue is just SOOOOOOOOO good
Which one do you prefer: V3 Cream Blue, or CS Lavender Purple?
not a tactile fan, but between the two id go with cream blue 😁
Ocean blue, lavender, cream blue, which one do you prefer?
havent tried ocean blue. but i prefer lavender over cream blue!
@@mczstudio for the other tactile switch and the linear switch, which one is the best budget switch based on your opinion?
Ahh, at first I wish you test Matcha Green and Jelly Black too 😢
And then...
Very helpful vid thanks for making it. I'm between Cream yellows, POM Silvers & CS Crystals. I don't know which one to get they all sound so good 😭
thats quite a broad selection you got there ~
when im in doubt, I always get the cheapest first. 😅
I know this comment is kinda late but... Loved the video! I'm currently choosing between cream yellows or crystal red wines. I like the "thock" and quietness better, but I'd prefer heavier switches. Which one between those two would you recommend?
cream yellow has more thock tbh. crystals are kinda clackier! to mute them out , add some foams :D
great video! one question, do you feel like the POM silver are worth it over the cs silver? I like the nk creams but I don't know if the extra price is worth it
if you don’t plan on lubing the pom silvers and want to use them for a prolonged period of time til they get smoother themselves, id say its worth it.
also as both silver are on the same price point. its only a matter of wether you want it smoother/creamier or you want the crystal body for better rgb.
for the nk creams, i cant really comment on it as i havent tried it
@@mczstudio I plan to lube them (either getting the POM or cs). I don't want RGB just to get a smooth and low travel switch. Thanks for your response!
How do they compare with the jelly blacks ? Any opinions?
Cream yellow sounds the best for me.
Damn the videography is on another new level like the thumbnail look appealingly beautiful ~
thank you!
I’m looking for the most quietest switch they have, what would you recommend ?
i think that would be difficult in relying on switch alone. you might need to add a couple of foam dampener to your board to have an overall quiet build! 😄
How did you make a tactile switch into thocky
which of them do you find the thockiest?
Thank you so much for the review! In regards to creamy V3 yellow, do you recommend to remove factory lube before applying your own? Or just add some crytox over it?
hi. I didn't remove any. there was barely any anyway! I just add my lube on top of whatever it have or may have not!
Akko switches (aside from the pre-lubed variants) are not factory lubed aside from the dry lube that’s on the leaf which is not thick enough to potentially cause overlubing, you can basically treat them as bone dry switches and just lube them conventionally.
@@arethas6537 glad to hear that, thank for the heads up!
The Pom browns sound so good
which do you think is deeper and creamier, cream yellow or cs air?
New subscriber btw, keep up the great job!☺
hi! welcome. i think its cream yellow! 😁
which linear in your opinion after testing it out is the most smooth stock?
i like the lubed crystal silver best. but if you want smoothest stock, go for cream yellows
yellow switches are much creamier than blue ones imo
oh, they are. for sure
Thanks! I have been waiting for these reviews for so long and no channel uploaded but you!😆
i'm really fortunate to received it abit earlier!
5:24 - 1:55
Hello! Great video and I would like to ask what profile are your keycaps and also which switch do you think is the most deepest, poppy and best feeling. Thank you!
its cherry profile.
deepest would be either cream yellow, snow blue grey, ca air.
poppy is crystal silver
best feeling for me goes to lubed cream yellows
thank you for making this video!
been pressing and using all these for a while now. if say the cs air!
What is cherry interference? I’ve never heard about that paper test before, what is the purpose of it?
Wait. How many hours did you spend lubing all of those?
a few days 😅
Are you going to keep them orrr sell...? Or do you have to return them to akko?
@@ashkan3913 I don’t think Akko will ask me to return. 🤣 I guess I’m keeping them. and use to some of my boards!
I want to buy cream blue or yellow but the problem is i dont know if its fit on my Rakk ilis please help me.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that keyboard has Rivet hot-swap sockets right? If so, then Akko switches can fit very well with that rivet sockets.

Hello where you get your data cable for your keyboard?
here's my exact configuration! store.cablemod.com/configurator?load=kbc:4d1d638497de&ref=63369

depends on your preference, i prefer linears so i'd go with cream yellows ~
the keyboard is modded right? Foamed and stuff
only mod is KEEBTAPE and durock! the rest are from the kbd67 lite kit 😊
the fact is, on my next keyboard i can afford a switch up to holy pandas and all of that but i literally prefere cream yellows
what keycaps are those cuz they are sick
here you go : amzn.to/3HYs1Ek
For the snow blue grey. Is there much difference between stock n lubed? Thanks for the indepth review for all the new switches. Considering getting cream yellow too
not really. the creams and this snow blue grey, not so much drastic change after lubing!
@@mczstudio ah ok...thanks! Just ordered the snow blue grey. Mayb i'll try lubing a few n hear in person. But so far it seems to work well for stock!
um hey. which one is good for typing? i like it light and creamy sound profile. and im too lazy to lube or modding it tho. thanks
What stabilizers do you use
hi! its the durock v2 :amzn.to/3LqAUIZ
Ngl we need an Akko switch reviewer who doesn’t stuff their board with foam
kbd67 lite only has case foam, no pe foam or plate foam used in the build
@@mczstudio maybe try something that brings out the switch character more
@@mczstudio no bull please. I have a KBD67 Lite as well, and only sounds similar to yours when using PE foam. It is obvious that you're using it as well. The board doesn't sound like that stock. You have your public at the end, and that's okay, but it is annoying to see that we barely get to hear the switches because PE foam gets in the way.
@@Yaxie i dont use PE foam. only the silicon dampener.
and i suggest that you don't insist that I do, please spare yourself on sounding funny cause if only you been watching me for a while, you'll know that its not the PE foam that make it sound this way. so hears a cheers to non ignorance!
which switches are the deepest or thockiest in your opinion?
