# description of each

[linears]

  • Outemu Silent White - a basic silent switch, a little scratchy, but it’ll do for a first-gen if it’s an ultra low-budget build.
  • Outemu Silver - standard trash, fast, with shortened travel.
  • Outemu Black - standard trash, heavier spring.
  • Outemu Red - standard trash, basic.
  • Outemu Silent Peach V1 - used to be fine, but there’s better stuff now. quiet, soft.
  • Outemu Silent Peach V2 - a good ultra-budget silent switch.
  • Outemu Cold Plum - winter collection. Full nylon housing, shortened travel, heavy spring. Solid thocky sound.
  • Outemu Pink Lotus - summer collection. Light, shortened travel, smooth.
  • Outemu Milk Peach - a regular budget switch, nice sound, but cream and jade are better.
  • Outemu Bai Lan - middling.
  • Outemu Hanny - long-pole stem. loud clacky switch (lego movie sound). it’s got something going for it.
  • Outemu Lanny - like hanny, but a bit more balanced and ordinary.
  • Outemu Silent Ocean - a decent silent switch.
  • Outemu Crystal Linear - fully polycarbonate. dry and rattly. maybe lube would help?
  • Outemu Dustproof Silver - a bit better than regular silver, but still meh.
  • Outemu Cream Pink - well lubed, buttery travel, deep sound (but jade is better).
  • Outemu Jade Pink - a cooler version of cream Pink, with a snappy spring.

[tactiles]

  • Outemu Brown - absolute shit. no tactility, feels like a dirty scratchy linear with a pingy spring.
  • Outemu Orange - a bit heavier than brown, but the same dry pingy junk.
  • Outemu Purple - an old heavy tactile. sharp unpleasant bump, the spring pings like crazy on return.
  • Outemu Red Panda - a forgettable holy panda clone. rounded bump at the top, but not a great idea without hand lubing.
  • Outemu Maple Leaf - a decent bright-sounding tactile. distinct bump, feels fast, clacky sound.
  • Outemu Milk Tea - budget mediocrity. the milky(ly) housing makes the sound a little softer, but tactility is weak.
  • Outemu Silent Jade Yellow - a top-tier silent tactile. distinct bump at the top, not mushy at all, properly lubed. close to gazzew boba u4, but softer.
  • Outemu Cream Yellow - tactile counterpart to cream pink. good lube, soft muted sound, nice travel. close to u4.
  • Outemu Silent Tom - an old silent tactile. vague blurry bump, outdated by now.
  • Outemu Silent Grey - ancient mushy shit. barely any bump, pressing it feels entirely like rubber.
  • Outemu Silent Lemon V1 - used to be a popular silent switch, but very scratchy.
  • Outemu Silent Lemon V2 - fixes V1’s mistakes. much smoother now, a decent silent tactile.

[clickies]

  • Outemu Blue, Outemu Green, Outemu Gold, Outemu Ocean Clicky, Outemu Spring Breeze, Outemu Milk Blue, Outemu Jerry Clicky, Outemu Cream Blue, Outemu Jade Blue

: ALL COMPLETE SHIT without exception!

the cheap Click Jacket design means everything inside wobbles and rattles.

just a disgusting plastic crunch instead of a proper click.
