OUTEMU Black

Got these to swap out the noisy Blue switches on an affordable Redragon K552P RGB mechanical gaming keyboard with quieter and stiffer Black linear switches. The end result is a pretty decent gaming keyboard, but with the added expense of the switches, I probably could have done better. Especially since a bunch of YouTube keyboard modders said Redragon keyboards take Akko switches, which I bought first, but they didn't fit. These Outemu switches do fit, but the cheap Redragon "hot-swap" sockets are tight and require a good amount of force to install the switch. Not to mention, pulling out the Blue switches first, which was also difficult (several Blue switches were broken in the process). I ended up disassembling the keyboard, which made things easier. But this is a review of the Outemu Black switches, and they are working great for me. Smoother and quieter than the Blue switches, with a nice linear feel and a stiffer 60 gram actuation force (which I prefer). The stock Redragon shine-through keycaps fit the Outemu switches, look really good with the RGB backlight, and are "good enough" for now. Some double-shot PBT keycaps would be an improvement, but honestly, if you are thinking about modding a Redragon keyboard, I'd recommend you just get the parts to build a proper mechanical keyboard. I purchased 2 different versions of the Outemu switches, these 60gf switches, which were used on the outer keys (F1-F12, Tab, Shift, etc.), and another 65gf version which were used for the main alphabet, number and punctuation keys. I re-used one of the Blue switches for CapsLk, but swapped in the stiffer spring, that way I will hear an audible click if I accidentally hit caps lock (did the same for PrtSc, ScrLk & Pause). In the end I'm happy with the result, and my "cheap" RGB mechanical gaming keyboard is much nicer to use than the stock Redragon K552P with its noisy, tactile Blue switches. Now I realize that keyboard sound and feel is a very subjective thing, and there are a lot of you who love the noisy, clickity-clackity Blue switches, but if you are one of those, why are you reading this review?

Bought these to replace my blue switches in my Reddragon Kumara for gaming reasons (2018+ versions are hotswap no soldering needed just make sure they have the diy sticker on the box). These worked perfectly, no clicks super smooth no wobble to the keys. Could feel the diff in actuation force and were a lot more comfortable to type on than blues. My board is half blue half red now so I get a bit of both (red keys only on important gaming keys). Product came with switch puller but I advise getting a better one for a few bucks and save your digits 2 days of pain. Had to use 2 hands to tank them out but I’m pretty small guy. The switches did come packaged in a plastic bag in a bubbled package in a prime package so they were well protected, however a few keys had their pins bent. Other than those minor issues great product great price!

Currently own a keyboard with Gateron Brown keys. The switches on my keyboard began to fail, causing double clicks and/or not registering. Bought this attempt a repair on my $120 keyboard. The sound is the same as my original keys, which is great. Replacement is also easy since the package comes with switch removers. Simply remove the key cap, use the switch tool to remove the switch, and insert the new switch. Done, takes like 15 seconds each switch. Great price for many parts.

I bought these as a cheap replacement for some old, scratch MX Reds in a clearance keyboard I got on Ebay. Not much to say here - they're decent switches. They work as well as any other generic MX Black clone should, and they're a good value. You can find nicer, smoother switches, but they'll cost a whole lot more, and these are very usable.

Perfect for my 3D printing clicker projects! Plenty to work with in the order and they are a very satisfying click.

I used 2 of them on my reddragon mechanial keyboard immediately after receiving them and tested it out. It fixed my old problem and felt exactly the same like the original switches. They fit perfectly and are very easy to insall. I keep all the rest of them as back up for future. Also, the price is fairly cheap.

When my Keychron keyboard arrived with a dead switch and no spares (thanks for that, Keychron), I decided to replace all of them with the blue clackety switches, and man are they satisfying! They sound and feel just like what I wanted in the first place, a HUGE upgrade over the reds it came with. I don't know if my coworkers will appreciate my upgrade, but I love them.

Vinieron muy bien empaquetados y muy rápido, los utilicé para arreglar un viejo teclado mecánico que tenía guardado y funcionaron de maravilla, lo recomiendo

Llegó muy bien y con su estuche y herramienta para el cambio de las teclas.

何個かは故障しているキーもあったのですが予備もあったので大丈夫でした。

Wanted/payed for brown switches but was given black, needed a tactile but was given linear…

Como que 32 piezas? pensé que eran repuestos para un teclado, no cubren ni la mitad y con lo que me cuesta el cambio completo ya me alcanza para un teclado nuevo, no veo porque alguien deberia comprar los swriches

Muy buenas, quedaron correctamente configuradas y ajustadas físicamente
