The Akko Cilantro Switches belong to the category of Tactile Switches and are characterized by a pleasantly smooth yet distinctly noticeable feedback. With an actuation force of 36±5gf and a pre-travel distance of 2.1±0.5mm, they provide a light typing feel that is appealing to both heavy typists and gamers. The tactile bump engages at just 0.2mm, reaching a tactile force of 58±5gf. This ensures precise and controlled typing behavior without producing a loud click sound.

The total travel distance is 3.5±0.3mm, making the switches compact and responsive. They are made from high-quality materials: the stem is made of POM, the top housing from PC, and the bottom housing from PA66. This combination ensures that the switches are durable and stable. Out of the box, the Cilantro Switches are lightly pre-lubed, providing a consistent and smooth typing experience.

Technically, the switches utilize the proven MX-style design, making them compatible with all common Cherry-compatible PCBs. They come standard with 5 pins but can easily be adapted to 3 pins by removing two additional pins if needed. This versatility allows for flexible use in building or modding custom keyboards.

The set includes 45 pieces and is aimed at both beginners looking to customize their first mechanical keyboard and experienced keyboard enthusiasts specifically seeking a smooth, tactile switch. With a combination of material quality, precise actuation feel, and high compatibility, the Akko Cilantro Switches offer a balanced solution for various applications—from home office use and extended typing tasks to gaming sessions.
