Akko x HMX Cilantro Tactile Switches (20 Switches)

Very good

The Cilantros are a lot of what you expect from HMX with typical smoothness and fairly controlled wobble. Offering a fine P bump, closer to medium strength than light, their smoothness works against them a bit, with the bump blending in to the travel when typing at speed. It's not as forgettable as lighter tactiles, but they might not suit for fans of bigger bumps like those on the Ice Kachangs, Haimu/WS tactiles, or even some of the Bsuns like the Hojichas.

Where they will really turn fans away is their sound, in my opinion. Unbelievably high and thin, the Cilantros are likely a change of pace type switch for users who like to switch between multiple boards: fun for a couple of days, but grating after too long.

Make no mistake, however, this is a 5-star tactile. Preference matters! I don't expect the Cilantros to be for everyone because of their distinct properties, but it's those properties that will make some users fall in love. While in some ways they are a tactile for fans of HMX, some tactile fans are going to really enjoy experiencing what the HMX hype is all about with these.
