What's the deal with the Akko Piano U1 switches?

I've only seen what these switches look like in product images; they aren't included in the promotional video for Akko's U1 series, and no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find anyone showing them (YouTube, Reddit...).

I recently bought these switches from Monsgeek, and I’ve found that the product doesn’t match the image: it’s missing that sort of “glass” that would diffuse the keyboard’s light.

Example 1: using one of the official Akko media resources, the Akko Crystal Silver U1 switches DO have that glass, and it CAN be seen in multiple different sources (unboxing videos on YouTube, the official ad…).

Example 2: the official Monsgeek page where I bought them, it can be seen the switch with the little glass, but is the same stock image.

Since I didn’t have an actual reference real image of the Piano U1 switches, I’m not sure what’s wrong now:

  • Is the only product image available incorrect (or misleading)?
  • Did I receive a defective version?

I was wondering if anyone who has these switches could confirm whether they actually DO NOT have the "glass", even though they’re still being sold as if they do.

How do you take notes from a book or paper?

I’ve been working in cybersecurity for about 2 years, but I feel like I’ve hit a bit of a plateau in terms of my knowledge, because during this time I haven’t felt that I’ve grown in proportion to those 2 years.

To make up for that—and also because I want to grow as a professional—I was planning to start reading some technical books and papers I’ve been meaning to get to, little by little, so I can do a bit more research and delve deeper into the field related to my work and adjacent areas.

I use Obsidian to take notes on concepts, tools, training, courses, cheat sheets… and that’s exactly where I’d like to store the knowledge/notes I can extract from the books and papers I mentioned.

However, I’m not quite sure what to extract or how to do it; I only know which bad practices to avoid (just underlining things, transcribing the content into Obsidian…).

So I was wondering if you could give me some brief guidelines or tips on how to take notes from these resources I mentioned; and since I’m using Obsidian in this case, I’m also including the plugins.
