Just built my first keyboard, and I decided to go with the silvers based on a few other channels recs. I absolutely LOVE them. Coming from knock off blue switches in a pre built, linears feel like heaven and I love how quick these switches are. Great for gaming, the typing experience is also so nice. Loving these. I also lubed them (springs by hand too, had to put myself through the pain). I did it without a switch opener too! Kept building them out of old credit cards. It worked out and I am really loving my new board. This was a great video, keep it up!!!
The quality is actually quite good too, nothing ever feels cheaply made. I've got Ocean Blue right now and loving them but Silvers on the way for my second build of the hobby, gonna be sounding great based off my previous experience modding.
Sheeeeesh. Just watched the other vídeo with the same housing you used for the red set and both sound really good!! Nice quality of production and detailing for the shots . You deserve much more relevance!!
Hey CGBuild! I really think these switches are great sounding. I’m new to Keyboards, and I think a beginners guide video would be good for bringing in new viewers. keep up the great videos. once i get my PC finished, i’m going to build a keyboard with these switches and definitely then polycarbonate plate. the thock was real
Thanks man! What kind of beginner video were you thinking of? Like just an all around understanding video or maybe more of sub categories of like lubing or where to find cases and switches etc.
@@AustinPegoda Yeah, you can split it to hardware searching comparing staff etc, and how to do all of things even separated to more moview - more views for you, lubing, taping and so on. I would appreciate it as well :)
Yes! These videos would be super helpful. I am hunting. I mean hunting for beginners videos that are guiding or instructional. It would be most helpful to just know where to start and build from there.
I've been searching for switches that sound really good stock but don't cost too much and I think the Akko CS Silvers are a absolute no brainer for me.
Thank you, this helped me a lot on choosing the switches, might get the silver too and test them with the black ones tho. Will be my first custom one, so still experimenting. Loved the presentation also!
silver switch isn't for typing at all.. it never been because when you type you will still use heavy force on your finger no matter so clearly you don't have to waste your time thinking between black and silver.. they are extremely far different
hey CG! Been lovin your latest videos, especially all the Akko products, which ive become very interested in lately! Not sure if you’ve tried Akko’s rose reds yet, but out of those, silvers, and wine reds, which do you think is the smoothest and most marbly overall switch?
what do you think of these switches in comparison to the other akko switches you've tried? I feel like too many of them are so similar and I honestly couldn't be bothered to buy each individual switch.
theses switches sound outstanding but i would like to build a keyboard soon and something i would like to know do you have to do soldering for these switches?
Just got into custom Keyboards. Thanks for the review! Just ordered a set of these for a Ducky one 3 I have coming in. Planning to lube them and get new Stabs for the board later on!
@@AustinPegoda, your keyboards seem to be south-facing. Could you confirm that there is no interference with the switches reversed before I buy them? Like the other person, I'm looking for maximum certainty :)
@@aawave I test switches on multiple boards not just the one I use for b-roll.. with 3 different cherry profile keycaps.. and north facing leds .. no issues here
I’ve been watching nothing but keyboards to try and find what I want for my build… thought no had a decision made but all your builds sound soo good I’m now confused
What are your thoughts on these compare to Radiant Red? Because only the Reds are in stock in my city, and these Silver would take weeks to arrive, which make my kinda hesitate to get some
The sound is different, Silver similar to the old CS switches. other than sound, The light actuation force and short travel. This switch trigger really fast may not be for everyone.
Hey CGBuild, which ones do you prefer - these or the radiant reds? I am torn between these two as those sound really good but as I make a lot of typos with linears I think the heavier reds might suit me better.
Idk a lot about keyboards(haven't built a custom keyboard myself) but from what I gathered can't you just buy heavier springs and put them on the silvers. Correct me if I'm wrong.
it's the same.. using tactile doesn't stop you from typos but it will prevent it from commonly happening.. if you learn the keywords pattern AKA touch type ? yeah it won't be a problem for you
Definitely Jelly Pink. Silver switches in general are good for gaming only, as they are designed for that purpose; that will lead to their specs: Short Actuation distance and Total-travel distance as well as very light Actuation force -> combined those factor and we have a very light force, sensitive and extremely easy to trigger switch.
These do sound good but they were still pretty scratchy to me even after lubing with Krytox205g0. The price is probably the best in terms short travel switches but if you're coming from other premium options, they are pretty lackluster. DK oni are only slightly more expensive but are ridiculously smoother.
@@jo54763 If you haven't tried them yet you should def check out Minks or Mizu Minks. They are basically upgraded Gat Yellows. They use an ink bottom housing so it's even smoother than Gat Yellows but a little more pricey. Those housings with a long stem pole are premium options for a long stem linear.
@@Jagr00nage Honestly, I'm finding that the Pro 2.0 switches are so smooth when handlubed that they beat my other linears (Giant V3, Boba LT, Gat yellow ks2 + outemu tops, aqua kings, tecsee ice candy nylon). I don't really see how a slight smoothness increase would justify the cost doubling (comparing Pro Yellow to Minks), though the wobble on Pro Yellows is pretty bad.
Honestly both are good.. I love the reds because I’ve used them for so many builds.. but these silvers are sick.. I would go with the silvers imo.. they are super nice and sound so good

damn bro akko keeps coming out with sick releases. its nice to see a budget brand thats actually good

@@angelicbeauty2695 Exactly
I bought these switches recently and I absolutely love them on my build! Thank you for the recommendation!
Of course man!!
I've been searching for switches that sound really good stock but don't cost too much and I think the Akko CS Silvers are a absolute no brainer for me.
Did you buy them and lubed them as well?
Amazing quality videos. Love the format and flow. Easy to follow and just what I was looking for in terms of keyboard content!
Can confirm, these switches are an instant classic. Also my go to switches.
damn they sound so good stock im surprised im def gonna get these! thanks for the video
Bro it sounds so good! Nice review!
Thanks!
You are SO underrated, keep up the good work 😊
Thanks man.. you have no idea how much that means!!
that poly plate combo goes crazy
I got these today and wow, they are so smooth and they sound so good. It is really worth it for its price and I would recommend this to everyone.
did u lubed it?
Thank you, this helped me a lot on choosing the switches, might get the silver too and test them with the black ones tho. Will be my first custom one, so still experimenting. Loved the presentation also!
silver switch isn't for typing at all.. it never been because when you type you will still use heavy force on your finger no matter so clearly you don't have to waste your time thinking between black and silver.. they are extremely far different
I just get them and I can confirm that this switches sounds and feel so good
I loved the video man like everything abt it was so clean, easy to understand, and so like smooth
6:11 that is THE exact same keyboard i am going to build and now im even more hyped
bro my fav sound test so far made me get some silvers from akko
just built my first custom keyboard with these on an Akko ACR pro 75, they're really great. Loving them so far.
Awesome review, just subbed
Thanks man!!
The sound on that Fekker is sweeeeet
Copping RIGHT NOW, holy shit that is crazy good!
I legit would listen to this to get to sleep
I wish this was around when i bought my akko cs switches
Love the vids keep it up so high quality. Btw what budget switch do you recommend for a deep sound?
I, I, I NEED THEM!
Yeah they are pretty nuts 😂
Daaaaamn polycarbonate plate sounds amazing
which one is the better or the diff?
CS Silver vs wine red
hey CG! Been lovin your latest videos, especially all the Akko products, which ive become very interested in lately! Not sure if you’ve tried Akko’s rose reds yet, but out of those, silvers, and wine reds, which do you think is the smoothest and most marbly overall switch?
Hi, what is the total price of the keyboard and where can I get it? I wanna same
Can you do a budget keyboard build with these switches
Yeah definitely!
Did you do the foam mod 🤔
what do you think of these switches in comparison to the other akko switches you've tried? I feel like too many of them are so similar and I honestly couldn't be bothered to buy each individual switch.
I honestly like these better then any of the other akko switches I’ve tried..
@@AustinPegoda that's great! apart from the shorted travel time, do you think these are clackier, deeper?
Nice review. I thought it was well done.
Thanks man!
I got gateron switches on my Keychron Q1 and I wasn’t happy with them. Hopefully these will be better.
Lubed akko silver really good
What is the black mousepad? It looks cool
Vs jelly blacks which is better? :) can you make a comparison with it? Thank you for this review sir!
I actually like these better but I can try to do that!
Akko has so much switches and I want a linear with low actuation for gaming but have a nice sound but not a snap sound
theses switches sound outstanding but i would like to build a keyboard soon and something i would like to know do you have to do soldering for these switches?
When pressing down on the key, what switch feels smoother, the rose reds or these silvers
Just got into custom Keyboards. Thanks for the review! Just ordered a set of these for a Ducky one 3 I have coming in. Planning to lube them and get new Stabs for the board later on!
should I buy Cystal sliver or sliver
Can you please do a sound test comparison between the slivers and the rose reds?
Can you try akko cs sakura next?
Really nice thock, also how do you do that effect where your the keycaps are see through and u can see the switches
You record two different clips.. one with the keycaps off and one of you doing the sound test.. and then change the opacity of the first one you did
Are they factory lubed?
Hey CGBuild, I was just wondering if you experienced any interference while using the cherry profile keycaps?
I haven’t
@@AustinPegoda Thanks, so it should work with any other cherry profile keycaps right?
@@AustinPegoda, your keyboards seem to be south-facing. Could you confirm that there is no interference with the switches reversed before I buy them? Like the other person, I'm looking for maximum certainty :)
@@aawave I test switches on multiple boards not just the one I use for b-roll.. with 3 different cherry profile keycaps.. and north facing leds .. no issues here
@@AustinPegodaThat's an impressive amount of effort. Thanks a lot for replying.
I saw comments on different akko videos and it says that this is the quietest akko switch ever released. Is it true? Thanks!
Idk about quietest.. idk but they sound really good that’s all I know😂
hey being new to thiws community, which keycaps would they match cause the stem shpows they are special. thx
Anything cherry stem will fit
what do you think would be better for gaming? these silver switches or the jelly black ones? concerned about how it could switch so fast idk
i have only had light tactile switches, do you think i should get these?
Eventhough they're really good, i would still prefer gateron yellow and outemu brown switches
I get it my guy
Outemu may have the worst quality control out of all the OEMs
lol you’re trolling
aint no way😭😭😭
I’ve been watching nothing but keyboards to try and find what I want for my build… thought no had a decision made but all your builds sound soo good I’m now confused
Would yo ratter like this ones or the cream yellow?
Tutorial video of this build???
What are your thoughts on these compare to Radiant Red? Because only the Reds are in stock in my city, and these Silver would take weeks to arrive, which make my kinda hesitate to get some
The reds are nice! I love them.. I was using them for so many builds..
@@AustinPegoda wow you replied fast. Now you have said that, i'll definitely get the Reds, maybe will try out Silver when they're available
@@stokedperry4850 yeah man I get you!
@@AustinPegoda is red also good for gaming?
Hey are these good for gaming
So underrated. Only 11k subs
Are they the 45pcs
Yow akko cs silver switches are really noice
i agree with u 100%
where do you buy that feker ik75 ? is it v3 or what?
I NEED THOSE STABILIZERS
would you say that they can thock??
Hey, was just wondering if these had longer or the same pole length as the radiant reds.
this is clack
frfr dam crispy
hi, how do you like these akko Silver compared to their own akko Jelly Blacks?
I just came from that sound test
are these akko silver switches heavy?
Silver switches in general are very light. As their designed sorely for gaming purpose :D.
Other than sound. This switch really fast may not be for everyone.
How would it compared to akko jelly black tho? Thanks for the video!
The sound is different, Silver similar to the old CS switches. other than sound, The light actuation force and short travel. This switch trigger really fast may not be for everyone.
HI! What's a CG Mod?
It s just medical wrap in the case for sound dampening
@@AustinPegoda I see, Thank you! 😁
do these have any ping? i wanna get either jelly pink or these
Hey CGBuild, which ones do you prefer - these or the radiant reds? I am torn between these two as those sound really good but as I make a lot of typos with linears I think the heavier reds might suit me better.

what mouse pad is that?
This vs Radiant Red?
Should I make frankenswitces with these? If so, which ones are the best?
Hi i just ordered keeb with copper plate. is copper and brass produce same sound?
how do these compare to the TTC Gold Pink... looking to decide between these to order the pc75b. thank you
im using the samurai keycaps rn with black inks v2 in the gamakay lk67
Nice build!
What mousepad is that? Not the cherey blosom
It’s actually discontinued but if you go on Amazon and look up Topographic mouse pads you should be able to find it
Hey! Do you think these switches are compatible with the G Pro X board and keycaps?
Whould you recommend this or the gateron yellows?
Honestly these mainly because these are new.. but both are good
@@AustinPegoda ah okay thanks bro
@@AustinPegoda personal preference 4 u. The jwick blacks or these?
which one should be chosen for a good typing taste between jelly pink or silver?

@@huunhanle3809 thanks, is jelly pink long pole switch?
@@satria78ful All Akko CS Switches ( Gen 1 & Gen 2 aka. Jelly ) are all long pole :D.
@@huunhanle3809 Thank's sir.
How do they compare to red switch loudness ? I have reds right now trying to decide. I hate loud switches
With these switches can you use the Cherry MX keycaps like from Glorious, KBDFANS, Corsair and so on?
These do sound good but they were still pretty scratchy to me even after lubing with Krytox205g0. The price is probably the best in terms short travel switches but if you're coming from other premium options, they are pretty lackluster. DK oni are only slightly more expensive but are ridiculously smoother.
You should try out the Gat Pro 2.0 Yellows, they feel good stock and incredible when handlubed (used 205g0).
@@jo54763 Gat Yellows are definitely solid budget linears but they are not long stem linears
@@Jagr00nage You're right, didn't think of that. Perhaps if those Wuque mix&match stems fit nicely into g pro housings... might not be bad.

Does the switches need to be filmed?
I don’t think so
which of the linear akko switches is the most thocky?
I believe the black
I really wanna get some of these in the future but i live in the netherlands so i can't get them :(
Is there no interference with the Cherry profile, using the cs silver?
Not with what I have tested
do these switches fit with outemu switches?
if i click on the akko cs sliver and i get 61 it says 850 dollars
I dont get it, does the split in the switch also work for south facing leds or not?
These switches stop interferince right ? Bcz of the shor travel distance
Yeah I didn’t have or hear any interference on any of the boards I tried
would this work with my Keychron Q1 QMK
Yeah
is this better than the gat pro silver?
yeah
Please answer. This or the radiant reds in yor opinion I love both but Im not sure with would be better for gaming and sound
Honestly both are good.. I love the reds because I’ve used them for so many builds.. but these silvers are sick.. I would go with the silvers imo.. they are super nice and sound so good
Do you see it’s needs film
Does the Akko CS Silver have interference with Cherry Keycaps ? considering that the travel is 3mm
