Switch Sound

The Outemu Cream Yellow Silent Tactile Switch offers a respectably quiet typing experience. True to its name, the Outemu Cream Yellow creates a "creamy" silent typing sound.

Here are some sound tests of the Outemu Cream Yellow:

Switch Feel

Despite the silent dampening, the Outemu Cream Yellow retains the tactile feedback which allows users to feel each keystroke without disturbing those around them. The Outemu Cream Yellow has a tactile bump at the top of the keypress and has a similar crispness as the Boba switches. The Outemu Cream Yellow offers a smooth and satisfying typing feel without sacrificing the tactility for quietness, which makes them an ideal choice for shared spaces.

Things to Note

If you remove the rubber dampeners on the rails of the stem, it can turn the Outemu Cream Yellow from a silent switch into a deeper "thocky" switch.
