OUTEMU RGB Black Linear Switches
Outemu Black switches are ideal for users who prefer a heavier, more deliberate keystroke. As linear switches, they offer a smooth press from top to bottom with no tactile bump or audible click, but with a noticeably higher actuation force than Reds. This makes them great for typists who enjoy resistance, or gamers seeking more control to avoid accidental keypresses. With a 65g actuation force, Outemu Blacks deliver solid, consistent performance for those who like a firmer typing feel.
Key Features of Outemu Black Switches:
- Heavy Linear Feedback: No bump or click, uninterrupted press from top to bottom.
- Increased Actuation Force: 65g actuation force helps reduce accidental key presses, perfect for precise input.
- Stable & Durable: Built for consistency and longevity, with up to 50 million keystrokes per switch.
- Budget-Friendly: Offers a satisfying heavy linear typing experience at a wallet-conscious price point.
Compatible Keyboards
Outemu Black switches use the standard MX 3-pin footprint, so they fit most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. Popular examples include:
- Redragon keyboards (e.g., K552, K582, K630)
- Tecware Phantom and Phantom Elite
- Velocifire, E-Yooso, and other budget mechanical keyboards
Note: These are standard MX-style 3-pin switches. They drop straight into the vast majority of hot-swap mechanical keyboards, including boards using Kailh or Gateron MX sockets. The restriction runs the other way: boards fitted with Outemu-brand sockets, such as some Redragon models, are a tight fit for non-Outemu switches.
Why Choose Outemu Black Switches?
If you enjoy a firm, controlled keystroke with no tactile bump or click, Outemu Black switches are an excellent choice. They are especially suited to users with a heavier typing style or those who want added resistance for better key press accuracy. Compared to Cherry MX Black or Gateron Black, Outemu Blacks provide a similar feel at a much more affordable price — though they are not as smooth out of the box, and benefit from lubricant if you want to close that gap.
Ideal for Heavy Typists and Precision Gamers
Whether you're writing code, playing competitive games, or typing all day, Outemu Black switches deliver a smooth yet firm keystroke that gives you more control over every press. Perfect for users who want a quieter switch with plenty of resistance.

Bear in mind a sound test always reflects the keyboard, keycaps and mods it was recorded on, so the same switch can sound different in your own build.
