The Outemu Pear Tactile Switch represents Outemu's foray into ultra-light tactile territory, offering one of the lightest tactile experiences available at just 35g actuation force. Unlike heavier tactile switches that require deliberate pressure, the Pear enables effortless keystrokes with immediate tactile feedback—perfect for typists who want clear confirmation without finger fatigue during extended sessions. The prominent tactile bump provides satisfying response that's immediately noticeable, striking an excellent balance between lightness and tactility that makes each keystroke feel responsive and intentional.

What makes the Pear stand out is its unique full POM housing construction—both top and bottom housings crafted from polyoxymethylene (POM), a premium engineering plastic typically reserved for stems. This material choice creates surprisingly loud, clacky acoustics despite POM's reputation for producing deeper, quieter sounds. The energetic sound profile combined with nylon stem creates an engaging typing experience that defies typical POM characteristics. The switch features reduced 3.3mm total travel for faster, more responsive keystrokes compared to standard 4.0mm switches—enabling quicker key return and rapid typing. Factory pre-lubrication provides smooth tactile travel straight from the package, while the 5-pin PCB mount ensures stable installation in hot-swap keyboards. Part of Outemu's new generation of tactile switches, the Pear offers approximately 4 out of 10 bump strength—moderate tactility that's clear and present without being overwhelming. Available at budget-friendly pricing, the Pear makes ultra-light tactile typing accessible to everyone from first-time builders to seasoned enthusiasts seeking distinctive light tactile character. The tight housing fit eliminates common wobble issues found in budget switches, delivering stable, consistent performance that rivals more expensive alternatives.
