Outemu switches: affordable and quiet

Outemu is a maker of affordable switches. The Outemu switches in our shop are silent switches, which suit quiet keyboards at the office or at home. Here is what to expect and what to look at when choosing.

The range

Currently we have the Silent Peach V3 as a silent linear and the Silent Lime V3 and Cream Yellow Pro as silent tactiles. According to our specifications, the silent lines use POM+TPU stems. Outemu is not the switch for the last bit of refinement, but offers a good balance of price and everyday use.

Linear or tactile

The Peach is linear: it glides without noticeable resistance. Lime and Cream Yellow Pro have a bump you feel while typing. Which one suits you depends on your preferred typing feel, not on price alone. More in silent switches and in our guide switch types explained.

Matching your keyboard

Silent switches mainly dampen the bottom-out, the noise when the key hits the bottom, and the return stroke. The overall sound also depends on case, plate and keycaps. With a hot-swap keyboard you can fit the switches without soldering. That is also handy for trying things out: you can test one line and swap later without effort.
