Some specs from reviews or retailers · sources
Akko gives 40 gf actuation at 2 mm, 3.5 mm total travel and a light factory lube. The magnet is N-pole down, and Akko says it does not work in its own MOD007B HE or MOD007 HE YOTD v1 boards, which need S-pole-down switches. Priced from Akko's EU store; we found no UK price.
