Was significantly faster with these plastic lube stations. Love them!
Their keycaps come in very nice boxes, too. They're hardshell plastic that's pretty sturdy. >

Check out the keycap packaging... there's some group buy sellers that could take some notes. >

OMG I feel so damn dumb right now, some moth ago I bought some Akko switches and I used a cheap lubing station from amazon, I didn't think at all that I could just use that plastic thing, I was just there with my tiny little lubing station thinking "damn I would really like a bigger lubing station" >

Akko switches already punch way above their price range, no idea how they also have better packaging than anyone else >

I am not sure for the packaging as well. And I think they don't get the love that they deserve. I bought Cream Blues and Yellows, and even though Blues are a bit too loud for my taste, they sound really good. I used Silver CS for a long time and they still sound a lot better than some way more expensive switches. >


I bought cream blues too, and they were to loud for my taste too. the cream yellows were a lot quieter which i liked. Not a fan of lubed tactiles. i feel like it makes the switch lose a lot of tactility, and not a fan of the firm bottom out on the cream blues. Prefered my sponge switches over the blues, since their quieter, and the bump is more felt. >

Could not agree more. >

I am new to the keeb scene, but I feel like folks sleep on akko. I have been really happy with their products and they aren’t expensive. >

A lot of people (myself included) don't like that they cloned keycap sets. Though I'm sure their products feel nice for the price, making cheap clones and undercutting the market is not sustainable behavior. Also their product saturation is overwhelming imo. They feel like they're trying to be keyboard amazon on the "Our Story" section of their website.

Cloned sets are kind of a lose lose
on one hand, if you buy real you have to deal with the bullshit that is delays (some gmk sets took nearly 2 fucking years to arrive, which is enough time for some to not even enjoy the hobby anymore), quite a bit of shit qc (two of the same keys) and shitty packaging
As for clones, well you cant exactly copyright a colour, and also sometimes you get comparable quality for much less, and sometimes with better packaging, plus different profiles. Akko does alot of SA keycaps and only have a few (around 5?) cloned sets from what i can see
None are good options, unless GMK can really up their game and get their sets in stock rather than gb only, i dont see cloning going away anytime soon. 
GMK is very far behind the likes of PBTFans, KAT, Drop etc. in terms of packaging and actually having sets available. 
Im fine if the packaging is shit and all, just not when i already paid a premium and waited for 3/4 of a year. >

That's pretty much me. My GMK Masterpiece took 22-23 months to get to me and I got them in may 2022 I believe. I finally sat down and actually applied them to my keyboard this past friday as I couldn't be bothered to when they arrived, the hype had faded.
Though now I regret not doing it before because I took the time to foam my case too and it sounds so much better than before lol
Still waiting for KAT Mizu and KAT Comet, around 25-26 months right now I think.. >

I have also always used an empty plate >

Akko is underrated af >

What the hell, i forgot about the box and just lubed them individually wishing i had a tray. I feel so dumb >

Real >

never had to lube my silvers. they're smooooooth af stock >

I completely agree friend! They are so good stock. Try out cream yellows, I just bought them, I am impressed. Look at some sound tests for them >

My first time lubing jelly blacks included taking it apart one by one and putting lube. It took around 2 hours for 60 switches. This might save some time >

They actually mention this in their product information - that the trays can be used as lubing stations. 
I bought some Matcha greens pre lubed and honestly - happy enough with the quality to never bother cracking them open. For $20 too!! >

i just recently lubed a set of glorious pandas and i kinda like doing them 1 by 1
also any tips on good sounding akko switches similar to oil king, I'd by oil king but I'd have to import them which would be very expensive
(unless you know where i could buy oil kings in poland) >

cs silvers >

ditto >

Fml I threw it away >

lubing station, haha
