    Hopefully Akko releases more interesting updated switches. Would like to see different materials like their full POM switches get the new housing and stems. A bit disappointing that the Blacks aren't much of a difference... At least they could have done a heavier 60g double spring

      The Matcha Green v3s are supposedly heavier with than these & originals. Im a bit interested to try em. They are also .5mm longer travel (3.8mm) than blacks & should have the same longer pole like the lavenders & blacks so probably a shorter tighter spring than blacks.

    I think along with the v3 pro blacks and lavenders they also released the v3 pro silvers. I agree with how the pro blacks sound they are the yellow pros with a heavier spring. Hope the v3 pro silvers sounds close to how the OG silvers sounds but I think it will sound just like the v3 yellows but It would be alot more clacky because of the longer stem pole?

    tl;dr if you already have cream yellow/cream blue pros. No need to get these, still waiting for Akko to make another switch like the CS Piano instead of going the safe route and having basically the same switch with different springs. Apparently these switches were made by a different manufacturer that isn't KTT, some say Outemu (because of the way the dustproof stem looks) some say Huano. I'll update this when I find out.

    • @NyangisKhan
      @NyangisKhan ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They actually accidentally released the Akko CS Piano v3 Pro on their site a few weeks ago. But they took it down shortly after. The image was basically CS Pianos with a dustproof stem and a different housing iirc.

      @@NyangisKhan the only major pro of the piano pros is that it is cheaper than regular pianos. Otherwise its basically still the same switch. Also Piano Pros have already been out for a long time (they sold them as part of the Prebuilt NEW Akko Mod007 PC boards and now they're selling the piano pros in the Monsgeek M1W as well) they just havent started selling them seperately. Also it's not taken down. It's out of stock because people bought it out so fast 💀

      Hi did you find out the manufacturer for the new piano pros? I’m concerned they will sound far from the original and will just be similar with the yellow pros like what happened to the new black and lavender pros. Hope you can update if you find anything. Thanks.

    Prices have already gone up quite a bit. The Black Friday sale prices were the same as those you mentioned for only some of the switches. These are kind of surprising price increases, especially in a rather short amount of time. They are still a bargain compared to most comparable offerings, however.

    @aifresnofresno ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I own the Cream Blue Pro's and old Purple Lavenders. I found the old purple lavenders were quite a bit louder than the new Blue Pro v3's. So I'm slightly disappointed to hear these new lavenders are quieter than their predecessor.

  • @MarbsMusic
    @MarbsMusic 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Aren't the yellows long pole? They so sound somewhat similar but the yellows are definitely brighter and louder to my ears tham the blacks. I love the way the Purples sound but don't like that long bump, I agree with you 100% on that one. To me the Blues just feel better and the sound is nice, different, but still nice. Great review! I'm loving what Akko has done this year!

  • @nickham3359
    @nickham3359 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I think Akko completely dropped the ball on the cream black pros. Like stated, they are just recolored cream yellow pros with a slightly different spring. However, so much WASTED potential because they SHOUDL’VE been an upgrade to the generally well loved Jelly Blacks (one of my favorite switches ever made!) and it’s really not. By making it another billionth long pole design, it completely loses the feel that make jelly blacks feel like jelly. They feel faster and are clackier and louder - nothing like the jelly black.
    I for one was SO excited for a jelly black upgrade as there’s so much potential, I bought cream yellow pros (more readily available than the new cream blacks in my area) and swapped the stem with original jelly black stems and spring. Kept the great housings of the cream yellow pros. Used little black films on them and now they look like little bumble bees! Now they sound and feel exactly the way cream black pros SHOULD’VE been and I LOVE THEM. I daily use these now. Akko doesn’t usually miss this badly and it had to be on the switch I’ve been looking forward too for so long! Guess you gotta do something’s yourself…

      did this and it gave a surprisingly deep sound on mine that doesnt carry over any of the plasticky sound that akko jelly switches can have. it also sounds surprisingly deep and poppy, on par with my inks while the jelly sounded more clacky and more like a JWK
