Akko Astrolink Magnetic Switch, linear (10 pack)

Manufacturer Introduction:
Akko introduces the Astrolink—a next-gen magnetic linear switch built for high-precision gaming and typing. Developed using Akko’s exacting QC, these switches integrate contactless magnetic actuation and factory lube for smooth, dead-accurate performance. 

Product Description:
Astrolink switches came highly recommended by our community and product advisor. They blend the speed of hall-effect actuation with the tactile clarity of mechanical switches. A light 36 g initial force and 50 g end force pair with a 3.4 mm total travel to deliver crisp feedback and a rapid return—perfect for fast-paced gaming. Their contactless design ensures zero mechanical degradation and remarkably consistent feel, rated for over 100 million actuations. Added perks include a PC top housing with POM stem and nylon bottom, tight wobble-free tolerances, and onboard LED diffusers for vibrant RGB effects.

These feel and sound really good. Video below.
