Akko Starlit Linear Switches

Description

Upgrade your custom keyboard with Akko Starlit switches, a premium linear option designed specifically to enhance RGB backlighting while delivering a consistently smooth keystroke. The Starlit switch features a unique glitter-infused Polycarbonate (PC) top housing designed to capture and reflect light. Paired with a built-in LED diffuser, these switches maximize the brightness and spread of your keyboard’s under-glow.

Beyond aesthetics, the Starlit is an excellent performance linear switch. It utilizes a POM stem and PA66 bottom housing, combined with factory lubrication and a tightly coiled 20mm spring for a highly consistent, smooth press. With a 45gf operating force and a reduced 3.4mm total travel, it offers a snappy, responsive feel ideal for fast typing and gaming.
