Akko Fairy Switch (45 Pcs)
Type: Linear
Operating Force: 50gf ± 5gf
Total Travel: 3.3mm
Pre-Travel: 2.0 ± 0.5mm

A linear switch with silicone dampeners inside to reduce the noise of the switches. This would reduce the noise of the mechanical keyboard significantly if you are after something that's quieter and usable at work (though, I would highly recommend modding the keyboard with foams and lubricate the stabilisers, to reduce undesirable noises further).

Youtube review

While this isn't the most cheapest option available (and cheapest option is bit of a difficult topic with switches as there are different models of switches available out there), I am posting this as a deal as switches that are locally available from easily accessible vendor at cheaper price than before the Prime Day.

If you prefer to grab switches from somewhere slightly cheaper, Aliexpress could be an option (they only had one currently available) AKKO Official Store @ AliExpress, A$18.77 (US$12.23) + GST. I didn't post that as an option as it doesn't meet the guideline.

  How are the Akko V3 Creamy Purple Pro or the Matcha Green? Also noticed on sale

    Akko switches are good for the price that they are asking, generally speaking.
    A youtube review of AKKO switches that include the models that you were asking about.

    The only comment I will make is, there are a lot of options out there for linears and tactiles, so ymmv in terms of your experience.

    The matcha green listing looks old, they don't even sell those anymore on the other platforms.

    Not sure if you would get them or the newer v3 pro with the box stems if you ordered.

  I have these sat on my desk, awaiting my Akko 3098B Plus arrival from Ali. I got 3 packs from Ali for $65.60 delivered but this is still an excellent price for local stock.

    I couldn’t find them cheap when I was looking recently so got these but have Outemu silent whites in another board (Royal Kludge RK98) and love them so decided it might be better to stick with linear. Hope I’m right. If you’re looking for quiet though, either should work.

  Waiting for some Kailh Whale Silent tactile to arrive, probably tomorrow. This key board, switch malarky isn't cheap. 😂

  Do these need to be lubed, are already prelubed, or not necessary? New to this

  • 

    iridiumstem on 16/07/2024 - 20:36

    I have heard that these are pre-lubed, but ymmv in terms of whether you want to re-lube them.

  • 

    shiny1 on 16/07/2024 - 20:48

    The correct answer depends on how much you're into the hobby and how bothered you are. Given that most people get hot-swap boards, I think a good starting point is to use them as-is, and if lubing is something you'd consider doing, at least you have a reference point.

    MustHoardMoney on 16/07/2024 - 20:52

    They're lubed.

  Does anyone know what is the successor for the Radiant Reds?
  My favourite linear switches, but discontinued.

  Can anyone give advice on what would be a good upgrade from MX Cherry Browns? A few switches have mine are double clicking so figure its a good time to upgrade to something a bit nicer, but so many choices. Thought the Akko Lavender Purples but looks more like a side upgrade.
