The Akko CS Crystal is a linear switch with a heavy 64.3g spring. It actuates at 40g after 2mm of travel and bottoms out at 74.8g over a 4.1mm stroke.

Measured at -30.4dB, it's louder than 75% of the 195 switches measured on ThockHub, giving it a balanced character at roughly 3,142Hz. Its 64.3g spring is heavier than 69% of switches in the database, so it feels deliberate and controlled under the finger.
