Akko Botany Linear Switches

Description

Upgrade your keyboard with Akko Botany switches, a premium ultra-light linear option designed for gamers and typists who prefer minimal resistance and swift keystrokes. With a very low actuation force of just 38gf, these switches require very little effort to press, reducing finger fatigue during extended sessions.

Aesthetically inspired by the Haworthia cooperi succulent, the switches feature a distinct light bluish-green housing. Internally, they utilize a unique material combination—a custom Nylon Pro stem, a PA12 top cover, and a PA6 bottom housing. Combined with factory lubrication and a long-pole stem design, the Botany switch delivers a smooth travel and a crisp, mid-to-high-pitched “clacky” bottom-out sound.​

Key features:

• Ultra-Light Linear Feel: Exceptionally light 38gf ± 5gf operating force for fast, effortless keystrokes.
• Crisp Sound Profile: Long-pole stem design provides a lively, clear bottom-out sound.​​
