Overview
Outemu Red Linear Switches 10 pcs 3pin Red Stem 45 gf Transparent Housing for SMD LED Compatible with MX for Mechanical Keyboard

Outemu Red linear switches are a popular choice for gamers and typists who desire a light and smooth keystroke without a tactile bump and without a click. The package contains 10 Outemu Red switches, suitable for replacing worn or non-functional pieces as well as for modifying selected keys. The switches have three pins and a cross stem, allowing you to fit standard keycaps with MX mounting. The actuation force is 45 ± 10 gf, making the key easy and quick to press. The transparent housing allows light from SMD LEDs to shine through, ensuring that the keyboard backlighting remains well visible.

The linear characteristic means that the force required to press the key increases evenly throughout the travel, and the switch has no tactile bump. The total travel distance of the switch is 4 mm, with actuation occurring approximately after 2 mm, which is about halfway through the travel. This behaviour is especially appreciated by gamers who need to repeatedly and quickly press the same keys, but also by those who prefer a lighter and quieter action without an audible click when typing. The switches are designed for mechanical keyboards compatible with Cherry MX and Gateron switches with a three-pin mounting.

Before replacing, check whether your keyboard uses sockets for replaceable three-pin switches, or if the switches are soldered directly to the board. For keyboards with sockets, simply pull out the original switch and insert the new one so that the metal pins fit precisely into the holes. For soldered boards, it is necessary to desolder the old switch and solder in the new one. When installing, take care not to bend the pins, and store unused pieces in a dry place and protect them from dust.

Outemu Red switches provide a practical solution for repairing and modifying a mechanical keyboard. The light press and smooth linear action are pleasant for both gaming and long typing sessions. The set of 10 pieces is sufficient for replacing the most used keys, such as the WASD group or arrow keys. The transparent housing enhances the backlighting effect, and the cross stem allows the use of favourite keycaps. This is an affordable way to restore full functionality to the keyboard or to modify the typing feel.
