Appreciate the video. I was conflicted between these three switches. I do like the dust proof stem that the purple and blue have. However from what I'm reading online, sound and feel are better with the lavenders.
I've been sitting here for a minute trying to think of a single reason to get either of the jellies over the lav purps..... and I can't tbh? Even after lubing them (in this video: th-cam.com/video/RU7Mk5mns1M/w-d-xo.html), I still think that they aren't as good (both in terms of feel and sound). I still maintain that the Lav Purps are an excellent switch. But the 1 dealbreaker (for me) is that I really can't stand the bottom out sound of the jellies, lubing does help, but that "tick" is still there. I'm usually quite open to switches sounding different, but these just sound annoying 😅 - maybe lubing even more would help, but I don't feel that it'd be worth the effort. As for the dustproof box... I'm not sure if it makes a difference in "proofing against dust"? Maybe if I'm working out of a saw dust factory, and if I don't periodically brush my boards, then perhaps? But even then, will that have much of an impact on performance? So i dunno, its kinda gimmicky to me (though maybe someone can change my mind about that).
I do agree with the linear like feel on the laveder purple! I have a tester switch of it and you can easily mistake it as a linear of you don't look for that rounded bump
I'm really struggling between these 3 switches (huge coincidence I know, glad you made this video!). I do prefer a heavier tactile feel, since I'm mostly a clicky user. Which of these 3 do you think is the most tactile?
I love Lavender purple. Still yet to find a better switch. I’m wondering if I should get Jelly Purple if I like Lavender purple, or is it not worth it?
Do you have any tactile switch recommendations? Im trynna find one with a long pole and also a decent amount of tactile bump (somethin like cherry blues but a lil bit less)
my favourite longer poles are: Strawberry Milk, Azure Dragon, Designer Studio White Jade - they are heavier springs though (67g), not sure if you are willing to give that a shot?
the sound and feel is all subjective. still I am struggling to find the best for me. Tried the Lavender Purple with my Phantom 87 RGB, it sounded high pitched. Still am confused with Jelly Blue and the Lavender. I do mostly code and play light games with my board. So, if anyone out there whose usage matches with mine and loves tactile switch, please share your suggestion with me. TIA
I prefer Jelly Blues for sure... they are a decent light tactile (apart from the click on the bottom out, which resolves a little with lubing). The Jelly Purples are just in the middle of nowhere for me... I'd look somewhere else if I wanted something with a more prominent tactile bump. Also, I really can't stand the bottom out sound.
Great video, I was struggling between jelly purple and lavender. I couldn't hear any difference or ping noise but if you say its there and feels annoying its enough to eliminate the jelly. Im a linear fan to be honest and kinda broke one so i have to be sure before going for it, do they feel too hard? Sorry if its not the right word, i dont know much about switch terminology. I mean, I have only tested Outemu Dustproof Red (Too soft) and Cherry MX Blue (Hated it) but I think something between these two would be great. Is Lavender Purple what am I looking for in a budget?
I dont think they are "hard" at all, in fact quite the opposite (compared to the "heavy tactile switches"). I do think that the Lavender Purples are great for the price, I can recommend them for sure 👊
@@linusmushroomtips776 so it is confirmed (at your expense RIP): gorilla tape and keyboards don't mix! but yeah, i've ripped out all manner of other things with it, and sure aint trying it on a pcb

i like jelly purples more but honestly this was a great review

Yeah That “rounded bump” is really nice huh? … the smoothness
Thanks for the video! Gonna pull the trigger on the lavender purples :)
thanks for watching! 👊
the Lav Purps are a good choice imo - def cant go wrong :D
All these switches really come to life after lubing tbh I wouldn’t use any Akko switch outside of the silvers unlubed
100% agree 👊
Is Jelly Purple the most tactile out of the three?
Is the jelly purples' really that heavy? How is it compared to cherry or gateron brown? Or is it still ok for gaming?
the tactility of the jelly purple compare to the fantasy virus?
I'm really struggling between these 3 switches (huge coincidence I know, glad you made this video!). I do prefer a heavier tactile feel, since I'm mostly a clicky user. Which of these 3 do you think is the most tactile?
Jelly purples are the heaviest of the 3 (in terms of the spring force) … but i wouldn’t consider them a heavy though?
You think I would be happier with U4Ts or Anubis'?
I just got a full set of anubis, let me mess around with them and I'll do a video compare to U4T's too!
Which Akko tactile switch would you recommend for typing?
I love Lavender purple.
Still yet to find a better switch.
I’m wondering if I should get Jelly Purple if I like Lavender purple, or is it not worth it?
I still maintain that lav purp > jelly purp… really don’t see it as an upgrade (but that’s just my opinion 🙂)
@@majorkeeb7493 Good. I’ll stick with my Lavender. I think it’s not that loud now that I’ve modded my keyboard.

If you want something “low pitch”, i wouldn’t go with any of the Akko switches tbh
More like 👉 Boba U4T
Me too it's so complicated seems that all these switches had the same sound for me lol, I think I will buy the Lavander Purple to see if I like it
Between the Jelly Purples and the Jelly blues, what is better in your opinion?
I prefer Jelly Blues for sure... they are a decent light tactile (apart from the click on the bottom out, which resolves a little with lubing).
The Jelly Purples are just in the middle of nowhere for me... I'd look somewhere else if I wanted something with a more prominent tactile bump. Also, I really can't stand the bottom out sound.
Which one’s the loudest?
What switch is the most similar to the cherry brown ?
I've not tried browns, so I can't tell you. Maybe I'll order a set and i'll let you know :D
They all sound almost the same to me, apart from subtle differences in tone. I can’t listen to the bottom out click you mention…
yeah i would say they are similar'ish, especially the 2 jellys. The "click" is hard to hear here... but its there, and I find it annoying enough
Great video, I was struggling between jelly purple and lavender. I couldn't hear any difference or ping noise but if you say its there and feels annoying its enough to eliminate the jelly.

1 month later, but they are actually light tactiles.
Jelly purple is the natural evolution of the Lavander
How does gorilla tape compare to painters tape?
I wouldn’t use gorilla tape though? The adhesive is too sticky, and it might damage the PCB?
@@majorkeeb7493 It is sticky enough to rip out hotswap sockets. I ruined my first build (modded rk68) with it.
@@linusmushroomtips776 so it is confirmed (at your expense RIP): gorilla tape and keyboards don't mix! but yeah, i've ripped out all manner of other things with it, and sure aint trying it on a pcb
it is fine if you do painters tape layers first, then use gorilla tape on the last layer, it gave me this unique sound
@@AED1234lilith ah that makes sense yes... sounds interesting to try, I might check it out :D
How about sponge?
thats the same as jelly blue, just re-coloured right?
