Akko Rosewood Linear Switches

Upgrade your keyboard with Akko Rosewood switches, a linear option designed for users who want a smoother keypress and a deeper, more “thocky” sound profile out of the box. Akko describes this model as a switch created to deliver a rich, low-pitched typing experience, originally developed around its MU01 wooden keyboard concept.

The Rosewood switch combines a custom Nylon Pro stem with a PA12 blend top cover and a PA6 bottom housing, creating a distinctive material mix aimed at sound and feel refinement. With 40 ± 5gf operating force, 2.0 ± 0.5 mm pre-travel, and full 4.0 mm total travel, it fits buyers who want a lighter linear with a more traditional full-travel press.

Key features:

• Linear switch feel with smooth travel and no tactile bump.
• Factory-lubed for improved out-of-box smoothness.
• Deep, low-pitched sound profile marketed as “thocky” by Akko.
• 5-pin structure for better stability in compatible PCBs.
• MX-style cross stem compatible with most standard keycap sets.
• Can be modified for some 3-pin PCBs by clipping the two extra plastic legs.
• 45 switches per box.​
