Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro Linear Switches

Switch Sound

The Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro leans towards the "clackier" side during normal typing, but upon closer inspection, the Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro has more dimensions to its sound profile. The Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro on the bottom out has a slightly more muted and softer sound than on the top out. When topping out, the Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro has a harder and louder sound that creates the higher pitched "clack". If we were to be picky, the Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro has some slight hollowness, but this can be easily fixed with optional lube and film.

Here are some sound tests of the Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro:

Switch Feel

The Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro feels comfortable with spring weight that isn't too light but also not too heavy. The Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro has a soft bottom out feel that makes it pleasant to type on. With long pole stems gaining popularity, the Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro with almost a full travel provides a more cushioned typing experience than the sudden bottom outs of shorter travel switches. There is slight stem wobble in the Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro but due to the improved stems, it is not noticeable during normal typing.

Things to Note

The Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro has slight spring ping which can be remedied by lubing the spring. The Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro also has a slight hollowness that isn't noticeable during normal typing sessions, but with a bit of lube and film, the Akko V3 Matcha Green Pro will be a touch switch to beat.
