OUTEMU Silent White Switches,20-Pack Linear & Quiet 45gf 3-Pin Keyboard Switches

Previously was using akko cream blue linear switches & wanted something more quiet, almost silent. These tactile switches feel super nice and have the exact sound I was going for: quiet but still gives you the auditory satisfaction of a mechanical keyboard when typing. Was pleasantly surprised by how nice they sound and feel, great value for the price.

Keyboard: Redragon K599 Deimos Pros: Completely silent Feels good typing works well with the k599 keycaps and feels natural Cons: Might feels a little mushy, pudding like when pressing keys, not as snappy as red switches. But absolutely quiet switches. Great switches, would highly recommend.

Update: After about 2 months of use, I started noticing some keys were not working sometimes. I would have to repeatedly press on them multiple times before they register. Switching out the switches was an instant fix. I swapped in the silent switches again and back to the same issue. A little disappointing, I've had to swap out 3 switches already. These are very quiet switches. But they do have a slight click to them. It's a quiet, high-pitched click and is only heard when typing slightly aggressively. If you try to type quietly, then they are silent. Good quality, definitely a night and day difference compared to the red linear switches I previously had on my keyboard. I order 4 packs of 20. Of the 80, 2 switches had a pin that was slightly bent. It's easily fixable and not broken, but it's something to point out.

I thought being these aren’t switches made by Gateron or Cherry that they wouldn’t be up to the same that those companies set. Yet I was 100% surprised! These switches are incredible! When I say they are quiet I mean it. I didn’t lube the switches and nor do I feel that I need to but if I did go above and beyond and do that I think they would be one step closer to complete silence. Perfect perfect perfect!

I was looking for "silent" tactile switches and had been informed these were tactile.... I was mistaken, but for linear "silent" switches, these were amazingly quiet (and called out that my stabs needed to be lubed). They aren't what I was looking for but seem like a great option for linear!

I know there are some great silent switches out there (haimu heartbeats hnnnggg), but I desire keeb ~aesthetics~ so I searched high and low for white silents that weren't mashed potatoes. These are it, buy them; they're butter on a board minus the mash. These come with two caveats though. First, the wobble is pretty bad. Not bad enough to be a deal breaker, but still noticable. You get what you pay for. Second is how hard it is to get these boys open. I have a great switch key but they are a royal pain with them being outemus. Personal preference? Maybe. To me it's a con because you absolutely have to lube and film these to get the perfect (no) sound and feel with the slightest little ping and boy do you have to wrestle for it. I would also suggest changing out the springs too, but the weight and bounce back is already nice on these so not entirely necessary. -E

Tried multiple ones but when I compared them to my original ones it seemed that the pins were just a hair shorter. Result was none of them worked. No issues on return process.

These are the quietest switches I own, really good for late night typing. The pins on these are very fragile compared to other switches though, but overall they’re great
