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: Awesome switches! - Theses switches are awesome!!! I'm a gamer who's used to creamy linear switches, so silent tactile switches were a big change for me. This is a change I don't regret! These switches sound and feel awesome. VERY quiet, but not silent. I don't know how to best describe the sound, but it sounds like those old keyboard schools used to have in the lab rooms, minus any clickiness. Definitely thocky, and the tactile feel of the bump makes this a lot more enjoyable (if I had gotten silent linears, I don't think I would've liked them). They don't feel mushy, which is a complaint I've heard about silent switches in general, I put these into a RK keyboard which is already lined with foam to help with sound dampening. Definitely recommend these switches to those who want something quiet and enjoyable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akko Penguin vs Durock Shrimp
*by R***H on February 19, 2026*

I originally purchased the Durock Shrimp switches, but after a few days of use, I realized they felt a bit too heavy for my needs. Since I type extensively for work, I wanted something lighter and easier on my fingers. The Akko Penguin switches feel like a great alternative. They offer a very similar tactile experience to the Durock Shrimps but require noticeably less force, which has helped reduce overall typing fatigue. They’re also a bit quieter, which is a nice bonus. On top of that, they’re more affordable, making them an even better value. The only downside I’ve noticed is the LED shine-through. Compared to my original switches (which are still installed on the F keys), the Penguins appear significantly dimmer. Overall, they’re a solid choice if you like the feel of Durock Shrimps but want something lighter, quieter, and more budget-friendly.
