Review: Silent, tactile and perfect - Video note: the first switch (Z) is the Penguin, (X) is the KALH Hush Deep Sea Tactile, and (C) is the Boba U4 65g. The rest are Penguins. No dampeners or anything, stock. Extremely consistent switches. The amount of lube they come with is perfect for me. These are a little heavier than your Gateron browns (by 10g I think) but it wasn't much of a noticeable change for me. They are the quietest switches I have found that also have a very strong bump. In my case I was interested in a sharp bump to give me feedback on when it was actually pressed. There is no travel. I tried the Gateron Browns, knockoff blues, K.A.L.H Hush Deep Sea Tactile, and Gazzew Boba U4's (65g) and the Shrimps (67g). I noticed the these require noticeably less force (these are 55g) and they are quieter than all 3 of the others mentioned. The Deep Sea's being the loudest, with the Shrimps and Boba's being second loudest. (All 4 were quiet, but the Penguins were quietest). The Shrimps had a noticeably sharper bump but a less refined feel. They were closer to your cherry MX blues but felt hollow and cheap. The penguins have a slight "thud" and a smooth feeling click all the way through, aside from the pronounced bump before activation. I also noticed that when fully assembled in my keyboard, they had the least vertical "wiggle" than the others mentioned thus far. This is not really noticeable though. They sit higher than the Boba's and lower than the Deep Sea's. Very minimal difference. I didn't get the Shrimps recorded in the video. Overall perfect this is the perfect switch. A lighter version would be nice though (its a little lighter than avg for these types it seems). I noticed it also has got some padding on the bottom for quieting them, but it doesn't feel mushy. If you need them for a full keyboard though buy directly, it should be cheaper even with shipping. Will be buying these for all my keyboards from now on. Buy em!
Review: Absolute butter!!! - Somehow Akko figured out a way to make silent-ish switches that do not compromise on tactile feel. Compared to a panda or a regular brown switch, the tactile bump is more pronounced while feeling rounder. The Penguin’s bump feels like going over a speed bump smoothly in a car while regular brown switches feel like hopping off of a curb. Factory lubing is excellent too. Very little to no scratchiness or spring ping in my set. Without an LED diffuser, these only let a minimal amount of light through even on a south facing keyboard like mine in the video. Installing them was a breeze, and akkos tray+case packaging is excellent. Typing on these is so smooth and they work well with such a wide variety of key caps. They’re honestly great switches for extended periods of writing and typing, and when you’re done working, the tactile bump also makes them great for gaming. The experience feels luxurious, buttery, and consistent. They’re not perfectly silent per se, but they are so much quieter than a regular switch. Quiet enough that you won’t risk bothering anyone near you while typing up a storm.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hauntingly Smooth Switch
*by D***N on September 16, 2025*

These Akko Dracula switches are a fantastic, quiet, and smooth option for anyone building a new keyboard. My goal was to find a linear switch that was light, pre-lubed, and didn't have the high-pitched sound common with many other linear options. The POK stem and pre-lubed rails provide an incredibly fluid and satisfying keystroke right out of the box, feeling far smoother than many switches I've tried. A minor downside is the sound profile, which, while low-pitched, isn't as quiet as I had hoped for a "silent" build. This is a perfect switch for gamers or typists who want a quiet, light, and aesthetically pleasing switch without the hassle of manual lubing. Overall, the performance and build quality justify the price, making these a solid 5-star product in my book.
