What customers say
The Akko x HMX Stellar Rose switches are highly regarded for delivering an exceptionally smooth and light typing experience. Users consistently praise the remarkable out of box smoothness, often attributed to effective factory lubrication. The standout feature is the ultra light 37g actuation force, which significantly reduces finger fatigue during extended use. Furthermore, the sound profile is frequently described as pleasingly thocky or creamy, enhancing the overall premium feel. While the lightness suits many, some users accustomed to heavier switches may experience accidental presses. Overall, these switches offer excellent value, combining high quality performance, appealing aesthetics, and a refined feel that appeals to both new and experienced keyboard builders.
Know before you buy
Yes, these are 5-pin PCB mount switches with a standard MX-style stem, making them compatible with most modern hot-swap mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard only supports 3-pin switches, you can simply clip off the two plastic guide pins on the bottom.
At 37g, these are noticeably lighter than the industry-standard 45g linear switches. They feel very airy and responsive, which is excellent for fast typing or gaming, though you may find them slightly sensitive if you have a heavy typing style.
No, these switches come factory pre-lubricated. They are designed to provide a smooth, consistent feel right out of the box, so you can install them immediately without needing to open them up.
These switches are tuned for a deep, polished clack. Because of the Nylon housing, the sound is generally fuller and less sharp than switches made with harder plastics like polycarbonate.
A 45-pack is typically intended for smaller layouts like 40% or 60% keyboards, or for replacing specific keys. You will likely need two packs to fully outfit a standard Tenkeyless (TKL) or full-sized keyboard.
