Yep. It clicks when it goes down and it clicks when goes up. Only recommended if you don't have neighbors or coworkers...

They actually make greens which have more resistance. The resonant frequency is somehow more annoying than blues.

If you're a really heavy typist, you can get these to sound REALLY annoying.

Outemu switches are trash. Their general consumer line is probably the worst I've used. This doesn't seem to support hot swap either. For 25, seems like a good deal, but just be aware that you'll probably want something better soon

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I use 2 of these keyboards, one for work computer and one for gaming. The clicky-ness isnt that loud, but recommend a silicone o ring underneath each key to reduce audible click and for faster rebound. Amazon sells the o ring for keyboards. No matter if your using cherry or otemu, the orings make a better typing feel.

If your a cherry fanboy i guess. Outemu, in general, make extremely high quality switches. Outside of keyboards, probably the best switches on the earth.

Probably one of the loudest in the Cherry style of switch. Model M and Model F keyboards are louder in my opinion but I find them less annoying than the Cherry style of switch since the click is a deeper sound.

Yes, but also most satisfying IMO

Though I run browns because they are tactile like blues (though not as much), but quiet

I tried this keyboard when it was on sale a couple of months ago. The main issues I had with it were the distance needed to register a stroke and the space bar made a hollow ringing sound after letting go. Was not a fan. Preferred the feel of the Ornata I got around the same time so kept that one instead

As I said, their consumer line (Cherry clones). The Gazzew stuff etc are great.

UHG... Had me until "blue" - why can't they ever be quiet switches (this cheap, that is)?

Need to replace my Ornata chroma and may just end up getting another one.
