Speed Linear

Outemu Yellow Silver Switch

Budget-friendly dustproof speed linear switch with light 45g actuation and reduced 1.3mm pre-travel for rapid inputs. Featuring IP56 dust and moisture protection, Cherry MX compatibility, and fast actuation ideal for gaming and speed typing at an affordable price.

The Outemu Yellow Silver Switch (防尘银轴) represents an affordable entry into dustproof speed switches, offering rapid linear performance with enhanced environmental protection. Part of Outemu's PG150 dustproof series from Gaote Electronics, this switch features IP56 rating to keep dust and moisture out—ideal for environments where debris or liquid exposure is a concern.

With a light 45g actuation force and reduced 1.3mm pre-travel, the Yellow Silver is designed for speed—activating significantly faster than standard switches (typically 2.0mm). This makes it ideal for gaming scenarios requiring rapid repeated inputs or speed typing where every millisecond counts. The dustproof stem design prevents particles from entering the switch mechanism, ensuring consistent performance and extended lifespan in challenging conditions. Cherry MX stem compatibility and SMD LED support make this switch versatile for custom keyboard builds on a budget.

Key Features

IP56 Dustproof Protection
IP56 certified dustproof design with specialized stem structure prevents dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the switch mechanism. Essential for environments with higher dust exposure or potential liquid spills—workshops, outdoor setups, or high-traffic areas benefit from enhanced environmental protection.
Speed Switch Design
Reduced 1.3mm pre-travel (vs. standard 2.0mm) enables significantly faster actuation for rapid inputs. Ideal for gaming scenarios requiring quick repeated keystrokes—FPS counter-strafing, MOBA ability spam, or rhythm games where speed is critical. Activates 35% faster than standard linear switches.
Light 45g Actuation
Light 45g actuation force provides effortless keypresses with minimal finger fatigue. Perfect for rapid inputs, speed typing, or gaming marathons where lighter switches reduce strain. The ±10gf tolerance means switches may vary between 35-55g across a set.
Budget-Friendly Linear
Outemu switches offer accessible pricing for newcomers to mechanical keyboards or those building budget custom boards. Decent linear performance at a fraction of premium switch costs makes these suitable for first-time builders or experimental projects.
Cherry MX Compatibility
Standard Cherry MX stem design ensures compatibility with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets. Mix and match with custom keycaps, artisans, or themed sets without compatibility concerns—the universal MX stem fits virtually all keycap profiles.
SMD LED Compatible
Clear housing design with SMD LED slots allows for vibrant RGB backlighting. The translucent polycarbonate top housing diffuses light effectively, making these switches suitable for RGB keyboards where lighting visibility is important.
Smooth Linear Travel
Linear design provides consistent, smooth keypresses without tactile bumps or audible clicks. Factory light lubrication reduces friction for improved smoothness straight out of the package, though performance varies compared to premium lubed switches.

Performance & Feel

Speed Switch Performance
The 1.3mm actuation point provides noticeably faster activation compared to standard 2.0mm switches. However, some users report the reduced pre-travel feels less pronounced than expected—the 0.7mm difference may not be as dramatic as the 35% reduction suggests. Best suited for those who type with light touch.
Light Weighting Considerations
The light 45g force combined with short travel can lead to accidental activations if you rest fingers on keys. Not ideal for heavy-handed typists or those who hover over keys. The light weighting works best for gamers with deliberate, precise inputs or speed typists with good finger control.
Typing Experience
Smooth linear travel with light resistance feels effortless but may seem "mushy" to some users. The softer typing feel is reminiscent of silenced switches despite not being silent. Works well for fast typing (50+ WPM) but slower typing may reveal minor scratchiness typical of budget switches.
Sound Profile
Neutral to moderate sound profile with standard linear acoustics. The polycarbonate top housing creates slightly higher-pitched sounds compared to nylon tops. Actual sound depends heavily on keyboard construction, case material, plate type, and keycap choice.

10-switch packs or individual samples

Ideal For

Budget Gamers: Affordable speed switch alternative to Cherry MX Speed Silver or Gateron Speed—fast actuation for FPS, MOBA, and rhythm games at a fraction of premium costs.

Dusty Environments: IP56 dustproof certification makes these perfect for workshops, outdoor gaming setups, or LAN environments with higher dust/debris exposure.

Speed Typists: Light 45g actuation and 1.3mm pre-travel enable rapid typing for those who type with light finger pressure and value speed over tactile feedback.

FPS Gaming: Fast actuation beneficial for counter-strafing, quick directional changes, and rapid repeated inputs common in competitive shooters.

First Speed Switch: Inexpensive way to test whether speed switches suit your typing/gaming style before investing in premium alternatives like Cherry MX Speed or Kailh Speed.
