Akko CS Jelly Black
LinearThe heavier Jelly: same clacky polycarbonate housing as the Pink with a firmer 50g/63.5g spring. For typists who want the bright sound with more push-back.
Sound & feel
CS Jelly Black keeps the transparent polycarbonate construction of the Jelly line but swaps in a stiffer spring for a more planted, deliberate stroke. The sound stays in clack territory, just slightly fuller thanks to the harder landing. Akko rates it 50 gf at actuation and publishes no bottom-out force, so read the 63.5 g in the table as the retail channel's figure rather than a manufacturer rating.
It is a natural pick if Jelly Pink feels too feathery, or as a spacebar-and-mods pairing with lighter Jellies on the alphas. Like the rest of the CS line: light factory lube, dustproof stem, 3-pin, and aggressively low bulk pricing.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Akko CS Jelly Black sound like?
firm clacky bottom-out, a step deeper than Jelly Pink. Use the player on this page to hear simulated press and release sounds derived from its real specifications.
Is the Akko CS Jelly Black good for gaming or typing?
As a linear switch with 50g actuation force and 1.9mm pre-travel, it suits fast, repeated presses, which is why linears are a common gaming pick. It types perfectly well too if you like a smooth, uninterrupted keystroke.
How heavy is the Akko CS Jelly Black?
50g actuation, 63.5g bottom-out (our estimate). Note that Akko officially rates actuation force and publishes no bottom-out, so the bottom-out above is our derivation. Brands differ, so check the basis when comparing switches.
