  • They're so similar to MX Cherry equivalents you might not even be able to hear the difference.

    Both keyboards used in the video are E-Element Z88. Check out my review here: th-cam.com/video/1hO_1RM4I-8/w-d-xo.html
    *EDIT: At 0:28, I meant to say they are clicky tactile switches. Tactile =/= clicky (Tactile means there is a bump you can feel when pressing down)
    If you want a keyboard with tactile switches but without the loud click, MX/Gateron browns are a good switch to start off with.

      Clicky switches are inherently tactile, so there's no real need to emphasize that they are tactile. LMAO I would like to see a clicky linear switch
      EDIT: The ping that you pointed out with the Outemu Dust-proof Reds, while they may be due to lower quality control, could also be a result of the keyboard that the switches are mounted in. Typically, case ping has to do with hollow area inside of the case of the keyboard itself, and can be mitigated by attaching and installing foam into the case.

    I'm very unbiased, so I'll say that I love how both switches sound. But I'm going to make it easier for anyone else.
    1:42 Outemu Blues, if you like Satisfying Clicks, or Typewriters, as I call it.
    2:30 Outemu Reds, if you don't want to be annoyed, or annoy anyone, but like a rich, responsive sound and feel.

      @kanyegrande4312 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The blue switch is kinda mediocre as a clicky switch. They use a click jacket to create a click which makes way for lots of rattle. If you want clicky, consider something like box whites, or for something more tactile, box pinks, or even more tactile, box Jades/Navies. These use the Clickbar approach and the sound is really sharp and crisp.

    While yes the Cherry MX Switches are nice, that's for sure, but they are premium switches that cost quite a lot which just... bloats the cost of mechanical keyboards like crazy, almost never allowing them to be available under a 100$ price range, which is quite expansive for the average consumer for only a keyboard.

    I have a Redragon with outemu blues, and can attest that they feel very good to type on. However they are extremely loud, I'm thinking about getting the one with outemu reds as my girlfriend keeps complaining I wake her up when I'm gaming with the blues. Are the reds really that much quieter to the point that it won't disturb her sleep?

    • @Romsicle
      @Romsicle  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's definitely much quieter. Just by the sound test alone you can hear how less obnoxious the linear switches are compared to tactile. With the reds you defs wont disturb her unless you're mashing them super hard.

      The sound is definitely not as loud. That's what you get when you switch over to a linear switch. If you have the chance to try out an MX red keyboard in the store or something, it's the exact sound volume. Not loud but not that silent

Tried it out, i did enjoy although since i consider streaming as a thing, i knew they weren't gonna be nice to hear. Well, until i found your in-depth so-to-say, sound test. Also the heavier actuation won't be an issue, given all those past years in factory jobs and usual hard labor, a heavier hand is just fitting to have them. Thanks and cheers!!

(highly recommend the rii rk66 if u want a full size mechanical keyboard that has red back light and its built like a tank for under 25$ i got mine for 22) the keys does fell weird at first expected tho because im going from membrane to mechanical but when u get used to its the keys feel really nice and i can even type faster because unlike membrane i don't have to press they keys all the way down

Luckily, my home office is in the finished basement of our house, so I can pursue my clicky-clacky keyboard obsession without disturbing the rest of my household. However, if you are in close quarters, and using a keyboard featuring these switches, you’re probably putting yourself in mortal danger, as they’ll likely drive everyone around you insane.

    I just ordered a combo pack of outemu reds, browns and blacks with ten of each switches, I hope they outperform my cherry reds and cherry browns from my other keyboards!

    are cherry mx keycaps compatible with these? Im thinking about buying the MARS GAMING Mk60 with blue outemo switches but idk much about all this and I just wanna be able to switch the keycaps and all the ones I find are cherry mx compatible

      If you see keycaps with the cross, they'll fit any switch with a cross. You just need to make sure the keycaps you get can cover the entire keyboard because there's different sizes of keycaps. For the MK60, almost any standard keycap set will fit it. (Double check if you use ISO tho)
