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! Review: Awesome switches! - 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. ## Features - Akko Botany Switch – The color of the botany switch is inspired by β€œHaworthia cooperi” in a light bluish green pattern.

My goal was to find a linear switch that was light, pre-lubed, and didn't have the high-pitched sound common with many other linear options. The POK stem and pre-lubed rails provide an incredibly fluid and satisfying keystroke right out of the box, feeling far smoother than many switches I've tried. A minor downside is the sound profile, which, while low-pitched, isn't as quiet as I had hoped for a "silent" build. This is a perfect switch for gamers or typists who want a quiet, light, and aesthetically pleasing switch without the hassle of manual lubing. Overall, the performance and build quality justify the price, making these a solid 5-star product in my book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Akko Dracula Linear Keyboard Switch with Diffuser for Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin 35gf Pre-Lubed Switches with Standard MX Structure (45pcs) - Keycap Puller Stainless Steel Key Removal Tool Keycaps Remover for Mechanical Keyboard Removing Fixing Tools - Keyboard Lube GPL 205g0 Switch Lube Grease for Mechanical Keyboard Cherry Gateron Switches Stabilizers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/658405947-akko-botany-keyboard-switch-for-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-5-pin](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/658405947-akko-botany-keyboard-switch-for-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-5-pin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
