Frequently asked
Are Akko Penguin switches loud?
No. The Penguin is a silent switch with dampening built into the stem, so both the downstroke and the return are noticeably muted. It is one of the quieter tactile options you can drop in without further modding.
Do Akko Penguin switches need lube?
They arrive factory lubed and feel fine stock. A light hand-lube of the springs can reduce ping, but it is optional rather than necessary, and the silicone dampeners limit how much smoother you can make them.
How heavy is the Akko Penguin tactile bump?
It is a gentle bump, actuating around 50g and bottoming out near 65g. The tactility is soft and rounded rather than sharp, which suits long typing sessions and quiet environments.
