Design and Build

Outemu switches are recognized for their affordability without significantly compromising on quality. They are compatible with a wide range of mechanical keyboards, making them a versatile choice for keyboard enthusiasts looking to customize their typing or gaming experience.

Customization and Usability

All three switch types are compatible with MX and BOX switches, supporting both 3-pin and 5-pin varieties, allowing for a broad range of customization options. The linear nature of Black and Red switches offers smooth keystrokes with minimal noise, making them ideal for office environments or gaming sessions where noise can be a concern. On the other hand, Blue switches, with their clicky nature, provide tactile feedback preferred by many typists and gamers alike, though they may produce more sound.
