So in this video, we are looking at the new Akko cs silver switches! They are a linear switch and sound really good stock with lubing... We take a look at the different sounds with these switches on a polycarbonate (PC) and a brass plate, Different keycap profiles, and Stoc versus Lubed with Krytox 205g. Let me know what think of these and will you be buying them?

Just built my first keyboard, and I decided to go with the silvers based on a few other channels recs. I absolutely LOVE them. Coming from knock off blue switches in a pre built, linears feel like heaven and I love how quick these switches are. Great for gaming, the typing experience is also so nice. Loving these. I also lubed them (springs by hand too, had to put myself through the pain). I did it without a switch opener too! Kept building them out of old credit cards. It worked out and I am really loving my new board. This was a great video, keep it up!!!

silver switch isn't for typing at all.. it never been because when you type you will still use heavy force on your finger no matter so clearly you don't have to waste your time thinking between black and silver.. they are extremely far different
