context: Heya! So blues are in fact, NOT tactile, they’re a “clicky switch.” Any “Tactile” switch will not have a click sound, and will have the nice sound you’re looking for. Personally, my favorite tactiles are Gateron Azure Dragons, but there are plenty of tactiles available out there. If you’re down to dropping a bit more money, i recommend checking out Thocstock dot com for in stock tactile switches.
  Again, CLICKY switches (like blues) are not tactiles. Tactile switches are. 
  Happy keebing! Love the build! >
  
  Ah! Looks like the Akko Jelly Purples might have fit better then. I thought tactile meant it would sound clicky and feel clicky. I'll check out those gaterons too.
  Thankyou! >
  
  I'm not sure why that guy got downvoted, but I just put together a board with those Gateron Azure Dragons and they are very satisfying. >
  
  Got an akko 3068b as a Christmas present. It's a great board. Came with plenty of lubricant all over switches, a bit messy to work on. Even switching keycaps got lube everywhere. I guess that's good though!
  It's my first real hot swappable board, I've been using an Eagletec KG010 for 4 years. The quality difference is immense. The Eagletec came with Blue clone switches, and the akko came with Jelly linear Pinks. I'm not sure how I feel about linear vs tactile, linear seems to lose all the charm tactiles had. But, linears seem quieter and deeper, which is what I wanted. Just no where near as satisfying to click. My dream would be a switch that feels like a tactile, but sounds like a linear (no click noise).
  For mods, I might do the Bandaid/medical tape under stabilizers, silicone fill the bottom of the board, and maybe lube the switches. I feel like the switches don't need any more lube, from how much is on them already.
  I've already installed Blue Cat MAs. They sound deeper and thockier than stock keycaps. 
  What mods do you recommend? >
  
  Oooh that's thiccc lol
  Have you watched Keybored's vid on thock? It has some guidelines to follow if ultimate thock is the goal. Idk if silicone is the best necessarily for thock based on his parameters, but it's been a while since I've watched the video so I could be entirely wrong >
  
  Ive seen some videos, but none by KeyBored. I'll have to check that out. Yeah idk about silicone, but I know the akko already has foam padding in it (so I'm thinking of what more I can do on top of that), at least the newer version should. I know the originals didn't. Goal is thock on a budget. I know I could build a thock monster for $300, but can I do it for much less is the question. 
  Doing pretty good so far; keycaps were 60% off, only $22 for a full 100% keyboard set. 
  I'm pretty fresh to this hobby. >
  
  Ooh noice, my board rn is a budget boi, but I'm focusing more on look/feel. One thing that might help is the PCB masking tape mod, which helped dampen the sound. This might help with thock because I think I remember using less dense foam helps with thock, but also increases ping if not dense enough. This is all from what I think I remember from the video, I'll try to find the link and put it in an edit
  Edit: found it >
