About the Standard of Akko Factory-lube
The standard “factory-lubed” switches will have pre-apply lubes on the following parts: 1) bottom housing stem rails, 2) spring, 3) stem and 4) spring cylinder.
Factory-lubed switches can be further categorized as machine lubed and hand lubed.
The technology of machine lubrication is not yet well developed and thus the amount of lube applied on every switch cannot be consistent. This could sometimes cause the switches to be overlubed with spillage. On the other hand, the lubes applied by hand lubrication will be more uniform and controllable, with comparably higher labor costs.
In some scenarios, “factory-lubed” means that the switches are being briefly lubricated during manufacturing. Therefore, we want to clear up a bit about the difference below and it is important to be 100% transparent for customers on what they would get.
Akko’s Recommendations for Lubing Switches:
Everyone has their own preferred feelings for typing. The factory-lubed version can effectively reduce the pings/noise and increase typing smoothness. However, the application of lube will alter the original typing experiences on the “raw and dry switches”. And the amount of lubricant applied is also a matter of personal experiences. Therefore, there is not necessarily a best switch out there but just the switch that fits you the most. The purpose of Akko CS switches is to offer more options to keyboard enthusiasts.

Kailas (verified owner) –
The Lavender Purple is exactly what I needed; Tactile enough for easy typing, but not too heavy that it affects gaming. Since the tactile bump is at the very top with no pre-travel, coupled with less actuation force, it feels kinda strong at the top (great for typing accuracy), but once you cross the tactile bump, it is smooth, activates quick, and behaves like a linear switch. And they have done a great job with how they lubed these too, enough lube to eliminate any spring ping, but not too much that it affects tactility. For 1600 a pack, great buy if you love medium strong tactile switches for both typing and gaming.
