What customers say
The Akko Haze Pink Silent Switch is highly praised, primarily for its exceptional quietness, making it perfect for shared spaces or late night use. Users note a significant reduction in noise compared to standard switches. Beyond silence, the linear travel feels surprisingly smooth immediately, thanks to good factory lubrication. The translucent pink design is also a major aesthetic plus for custom builds. Most compelling is the value; this switch delivers performance rivaling much more expensive options. While the feel is slightly softer, this trade-off for near silent operation is widely accepted. It stands out as an accessible, high quality silent switch.
Know before you buy
These switches feature a dampened mechanism that significantly reduces the audible 'clack' of the keypress. While they are not completely silent, they are much quieter than standard linear switches, making them ideal for shared office spaces or late-night gaming.
No, the Akko Haze Pink switches are engineered to maintain a crisp, linear feel. You get the benefit of noise reduction without the soft or rubbery bottom-out sensation often found in other silent switches.
The 43g actuation force is considered light, making these switches very responsive and easy to press. This is excellent for long typing sessions or fast-paced gaming, as it requires less finger effort compared to heavier switches.
These are MX-style switches with a standard cross-stem mount, meaning they are compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX-style sockets. Please ensure your keyboard supports plate-mounted switches before purchasing.
No, these switches are not designed to be backlight compatible. If your keyboard has per-key RGB lighting, the opaque construction of these switches will block the light from shining through the switch housing.
