Overview
The Akko Penguin Silent is a tactile switch and Akko's entry into silent tactiles. Its PA housings and POM stem give it a rounded tactile bump paired with dampened, muted operation, so the tactile event is felt more than heard.
The switches ship factory-lubed and use a standard MX-compatible mount. Reviewers describe the feel as mild and neutral with a satisfying rounded bump, making it suited to quieter environments where a tactile response is still wanted.

Really quiet, and cheap too (just $0.35)! If someone asked me for a budget silent switch, this is the one I'd point them to without hesitation. Being silent, it goes with just about anything; if anything, polycarbonate gets you closer to that classic HHKB feel. No caveats.
