Frequently asked
How light is the Akko Botany?
Very light. It actuates at 38g and bottoms out around 45g, putting it firmly in featherweight linear territory — well below the 45-50g most stock linears sit at.
Does the Akko Botany need lube?
It runs smoothly enough out of the box thanks to its all-nylon construction, but a light hand-lube on the rails and springs sharpens the glide and quiets the spring further if you want a fully polished feel.
Is a 38g switch too light for everyday typing?
It can be if you're a heavy bottom-out typist, since accidental actuations are easier. For light, fast typists and gamers chasing minimal finger fatigue, that low force is the whole appeal.
