Spec by spec
| Spec | Akko CS Jelly Purple | TTC Bluish White |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Tactile | Tactile |
| Brand rates force at | actuation | actuation |
| Actuation force | 40 g | 42 g |
| Bottom-out force | not published | 50 g (our estimate) |
| Pre-travel | 2 mm | 2 mm |
| Total travel | 4 mm | 3.5 mm |
| Silent (dampened) | No | No |
| Factory lubed | Yes | Yes |
| MX-compatible stem | Yes | Yes |
| Price tier | Budget | Mid-range |
| Street price | varies | varies |
Both makers rate these at actuation, which is the one case where the advertised numbers compare directly. Every other force row still has to be matched basis to basis. The figure marked "our estimate" is our own derivation and not a manufacturer number, because TTC publishes no bottom-out figure for the TTC Bluish White. How that derivation works .
Verdict
Both the Akko CS Jelly Purple and the TTC Bluish White are tactiles, so this matchup comes down to weight, travel and sound rather than feel. Price splits them too: the Akko CS Jelly Purple is the budget friendly option while the TTC Bluish White sits in the mid priced bracket, which adds up across a 70 switch board. Weight is nearly even at actuation: 42 g for the TTC Bluish White against 40 g, a gap most fingers will barely register. Where we land: the Akko CS Jelly Purple for gaming and a shared office, the TTC Bluish White for typing.

Force curves
Akko CS Jelly Purple
Akko publishes no bottom-out force for this switch, so the dashed end of the curve is an estimate, not a spec. Everything up to actuation comes from the published numbers.
TTC Bluish White
TTC publishes no bottom-out force for this switch, so the 50 g at the end of the stroke is our estimate and the run into it is dashed. Everything up to actuation comes from the published numbers. How we derive it.
Akko CS Jelly Purple or TTC Bluish White: the long answer
Start with what these cost to fill a board, because that is the widest gap between them. The Akko CS Jelly Purple is budget friendly, while the TTC Bluish White is mid priced. Both arrive lubed from the factory, which is one project you can skip either way.
The specs are the smaller half of this pair, but they are not nothing. They register at the same 2.0 mm, then part company on depth: 4.0 mm on the Akko CS Jelly Purple against 3.5 mm on the TTC Bluish White. The stroke itself is shared: each one puts a felt event in the middle of the stroke. The TTC Bluish White is nominally firmer at actuation, 42 g to 40 g, but 2 g is not a gap you buy a switch for. None of these gaps is large. Stack them up and they still point somewhere, but gently.
Now the part spec sheets cannot carry: the voice. The Akko CS Jelly Purple sits at clean mid-pitched tap, firm bump; the TTC Bluish White answers with poppy muted tap with a big rounded bump. Worth repeating: the audio here is a simulation built from specs and community descriptions, not a recording of either switch.
The picks split by use. Take the Akko CS Jelly Purple if games come first, because the two are close enough here that either works, and our scoring gives it the nod by a hair. Take the TTC Bluish White if the board is mostly a writing tool, since it holds the same feel from the first hour of writing to the last. Take the Akko CS Jelly Purple if other people have to sit near it, as it is the one of these two you would not apologize for. Whichever way you land, listen to both above with the volume trims matched before you spend anything.
