Description
Upgrade your keyboard with Akko V3 Lavender Purple Pro switches, a tactile option designed for users who want clear feedback without going fully clicky. Akko states that this Pro version upgrades the regular Lavender Purple to a 5-pin dustproof structure and adds lubrication on the rails for a better stock typing experience.
These switches are a good fit for buyers who want a lighter tactile press than many heavier tactile options, while still keeping a defined bump early in the keypress. The official specs list 40 ± 5gf operating force, 55 ± 5gf tactile force, tactile position at 0.5 mm, 3.8 mm total travel, and 1.9 ± 0.5 mm pre-travel.
Key features:
- Tactile switch feel with noticeable feedback and no click-bar style noise.
- 40gf ± 5gf operating force for a lighter press.
- 55gf ± 5gf tactile force with tactile position at 0.5 mm for early bump feedback.
- 5-pin switch design for improved PCB stability in compatible keyboards.
- Factory-lubed rails for a smoother out-of-box feel.
- Dustproof stem structure for upgraded switch design.
- SMD RGB compatible with LED slot support.
- MX-style cross stem compatible with most standard MX keycap sets.
- Approximate 60 million keystroke lifespan based on Akko’s durability testing.
