Akko and TTC both advertise an actuation force, so the two headline figures in this table are measured at the same point and can be read against each other. The figure marked "our estimate" is our own derivation and not a manufacturer number, because Akko publishes no bottom-out figure for the Akko CS Jelly Pink. How that derivation works .

Akko CS Jelly Pink or TTC Gold Pink V2: the long answer
Read the spec sheet once, carefully, and most of this decision makes itself. The Akko CS Jelly Pink carries the heavier spring at actuation, 45 g to 37 g. That is a real 8 g without being a change of bracket. Type is not in play. Both are linears, and nothing sits between the top of either key and the bottom. Same depth, different trigger point: 1.9 mm on the Akko CS Jelly Pink against 2.0 mm on the TTC Gold Pink V2, both inside 4.0 mm. Same family of stroke, so read the detail rather than the headline.
What the table cannot tell you is how either one lands in a room. Two different voices: bright glassy clack from the full-PC housing on the Akko CS Jelly Pink, feather-light soft patter, barely-there landing on the TTC Gold Pink V2. These demos are synthesized from published specs and documented character rather than studio recordings, which every player on the site says plainly.
On the practical side, the Akko CS Jelly Pink is budget friendly, while the TTC Gold Pink V2 is mid priced. Both arrive lubed from the factory, which is one project you can skip either way.
All three questions get different answers on this pair. Fast inputs: the TTC Gold Pink V2, because the honest answer is that either would do, and it wins on a margin too small to feel. A long draft: the Akko CS Jelly Pink, since it holds the same feel from the first hour of writing to the last. A room with other people in it: the Akko CS Jelly Pink, as it makes the least fuss of the pair in a shared space. None of this beats hearing them yourself, which the player above lets you do in about a minute.
