Switch Type Guide

• Blue: Crisp, clicky tactile feedback with a satisfying audible click — ideal for typists who love that classic mechanical feel.
• Red: Linear, smooth, and quiet with fast actuation — great for both office work and competitive gaming.
• Brown: Gentle tactile bump with reduced noise — a versatile middle ground perfect for all-day typing.
• Black: Linear with no tactile bump, short stroke, and rapid trigger — suited for fast-paced gaming with heavier actuation force.
• Purple: An enhanced version of Brown with a slightly stronger tactile bump — the next step up for tactile enthusiasts.
• Green: An amplified version of Blue — stronger click, stronger bump, maximum tactile and audible feedback.
• Golden: Crisp paragraph feel similar to Blue but with even faster trigger response.
• Silver: Ultra-fast linear switches with long-term comfort — a top pick for gaming marathons and esports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these OUTEMU switches compatible with standard MX-style keycaps?

A: Yes! These OUTEMU mechanical switches feature a standard cross (plus-shaped) stem, making them fully compatible with all MX-style keycaps. Simply press your favorite keycaps onto the switches for a seamless fit.

Q: What is the difference between CIY hot-swap sockets and standard soldered PCBs?

A: CIY hot-swap sockets allow you to insert and remove switches without soldering, making it easy to swap switch types on the fly. These 3-pin SMD thin-pin switches are specifically designed for CIY sockets but can also be soldered into compatible PCBs with MX footprints.

Q: Which switch type is best for gaming vs. typing?

A: For gaming, Red and Silver switches are popular choices — they offer fast, smooth linear actuation with minimal resistance. For typing, Blue and Brown switches are favourites, providing tactile feedback that helps confirm each keypress. Black switches suit high-frequency gaming inputs, while Purple and Green cater to enthusiasts who want stronger tactile or clicky responses.

Q: How many switches do I need to replace a full keyboard?

A: A standard 104-key full-size keyboard requires 104 switches. You can order multiple 10-packs to cover a full board or just pick up a few packs for selective replacements on your most-used keys.
