Quick Summary

The Akko Matcha Green Pro is a light, factory-lubed linear built around a POM stem and a box-style, dustproof housing. With a 50g actuation and a ~65g bottom-out across a slightly shortened 3.8mm travel, it lands as a smooth, low-effort daily driver that punches above its bargain price. It’s a strong pick for newcomers and budget builders who want a clean linear without reaching for the lube station.

Specs and Feel

This is a pure linear, no bump and no click, with a 2.0mm pre-travel and a 3.8mm total travel that feels marginally snappier than the usual 4.0mm MX standard. The 50g spring keeps the keypress light up top, and the climb to roughly 65g at the bottom gives just enough resistance to avoid feeling mushy. Factory lube does most of the heavy lifting here: travel is consistently smooth and largely free of the dry scratch that plagues cheap linears. The POM stem and polycarbonate-top, nylon-bottom housing produce a slightly deeper, rounded sound rather than a sharp clack. Stem wobble is well controlled thanks to the partial-box design, with only minor play that won’t bother most typists. It isn’t boutique-tier silky, but for the money the smoothness and stability are genuinely impressive.

Tuning

Stock is the sensible recommendation. The factory lube is applied well and the switch feels good as-is. If you want to chase the last few percent, a light hand-lube on the springs and rails plus switch films will tighten the sound and shave off the faint remaining wobble.

Verdict

Buy it if you want an affordable, light linear that feels good straight from the bag. The Matcha Green Pro nails the fundamentals (smooth travel, controlled wobble, a pleasant deeper signature) without demanding any modding. Enthusiasts hunting for a flagship-tier linear will want something pricier, but as a budget build or a first taste of factory-lubed linears, this one is an easy yes.

Frequently asked

Is the Akko Matcha Green Pro a heavy or light switch?

It's on the lighter side, with a 50g actuation force rising to roughly 65g at bottom-out. That makes it easy to type on for long sessions and a good match for anyone who finds 60g+ linears fatiguing.

Does the Matcha Green Pro need lubing out of the box?

No. It ships factory-lubed and feels smooth stock, so most builders can drop it straight in. Hand-lubing and films are optional refinements rather than necessities at this price.

What stem and housing does the Matcha Green Pro use?

A POM stem with a dustproof, partial-box stem design sits in a polycarbonate top and nylon bottom housing, over a 16.5mm steel spring.
