Three focused profiles from published switch specifications. No overall score is generated because feel and use case are personal.
Measures actuation, travel, and force. Shorter, lighter movement favors speed. Advanced input features add capability.
Measures bump or click intensity. It uses feel type and tactile-force rise. Higher scores mean stronger feedback.
Measures published lifespan evidence. It uses documented construction details. It does not predict real-world reliability.

Editor's Note: Piano U1 uses Akko's low-friction LY stem to emphasize a particularly smooth linear stroke. Its 38gf minimum initial force rises to 45±5gf operating and 50±5gf end force, while the sound remains intentionally higher-pitched, crisp and lively.
