OUTEMU (Gaote) Red Switches 3 Pin Hot-Swappable Linear Switches for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (20 PCS)

Pros:-Inexpensive-Great for beginners-no dudsCons:-Can mess up plastic if pulled incorrectly-Tight fit for some but may just be a plate issueI just got into building keyboards and didn't want to spend a fortune to figure out if I liked it. My buddy gave me a hard time because I wasn't buying name brand switches with o-rings and lube. For the price of all those parts I could have made another keyboard. I used these to build a corne keyboard. I soldered these directly to the board instead of using hot swap sockets. Every one of they keys worked. I don't know if this is a key issue or the plate issue but some were hard to put in so I had to file the plate down a bit. The only downside I found was that if I used a flimsy key puller the key could bend in the plastic where it clips down but this was fixed by using a sturdier puller and a firm grip. I didn't destroy any of the keys but they were messed up alittle. Overall I would suggest to anyone who isn't a keyboard purist and wants a good deal.

OUTEMU switches have a short lifespan. I ordered more as a replacement because of poor QC with my original switches. However, many of the replacement switches also had bent pins and are unusable.

Feels much better than the blue switches I had on my Redragon Kumara K552 RGB. They include a switch puller in each 20 pack, and it arrived to my door very quickly.Luckily I had no QC issues. One of the switches did come with a bent pin but I was able to gently straighten it out, quickly check before putting one in your board.

何個かは故障しているキーもあったのですが予備もあったので大丈夫でした。

The black outemu keys have a slight resistance when pressing on the key, in comparison to the red outemu switch due to the 80g to 50g pressure for each respective switch. It's not bad, but I definitely, as a personal preference, prefer the feel of the red switches as it feels more linear, and smoother. Wanted to give the other linear outemu switches a try as I play video games often. Overall, the black switches are good if you don't mind applying more pressure to the key, and prefer a slightly lesser sound from key pressing.

My only issue is that you have to put them in pretty good or they might move a bit outside of that it, I really like the brown feel over the red.

Bought these switches for gaming - specifically to use in a hotswap gmmk tkl for the keys I wanted to make harder to press to avoid accidental presses while gaming. Very stiff and worked as intended. The rest of my board uses Gateron Reds so the difference in force needed to bottom out is really noticable.These are decent but you'll notice a lot of scratchiness and ting when bottoming out, especially if used on your modifier keys like shift, caps, spacebar etc. Would definitely suggest lubing these switches before mounting.Would recommend.
