Performance Result
Outemu blue mechanical switches are no stranger to me. In short, it is a great budget switch. Slightly better than OTUM and Content switches. But shy to Cherry MX and Kailh blue switches. It performs in the middle of them. And it is the louder when compare to Cherry MX and Kailh blue switches. Has the lowest actuation force too. Tactile feedback is good but the other two are better. For starter, you can’t go wrong with Outemu blue switches thanks to its value price.
