OUTEMU Medium-Low Profile Red Switches 3 Pin Thiner 50g Force 1.6mm Actuation-Travel Key switches Pack 20 - Gateron& Cherry MX Equivalent DIY Replaceable Switches for Mechanical Keyboard

I replaced the Kailh Silver with Outemu Low Profile Switches on my Moonlander keyboard and it works perfectly. It seemed impossible to find low profile switches that are compatible with MX format. This is it, I finally found them. RGB works perfectly, easy to install, shorter travel distance. I'm typing faster now, it's less clunky than the full switch. It's an upgrade. From the pictures, the left side uses Outemu Low Profile Red, and the right side is still on Kailh Silver.Tip: I used a combination of full and low profile switches on the thumb cluster to create different key heights - that way it's easier to recognize keys on touch.

I bought these to replace the Kaihl and Cherry switches that came on my ErgoDox EZ and my Planck EZ. Currently using the same key caps but may choose to replace those in the future. With that, here are some notes from installation and usage in each of the keyboards:TL;DR - These switches work for the ErgoDox EZ and Planck EZ. Full-sized key caps will bottom out before the switch does but they'll still reach their actuation point by a couple of mm's. They're easy to pull out of your keyboard on accident if you're removing your keycaps from them.Installation:1. As other reviews have said, it's pretty easy to bend the pins on these guys but they're also easy to bend back in place. I didn't have any issues with any of them breaking but some were easier to install than others.2. The bottom of the switches are shorter than full-sized MX switches but the pins are the same length. This wasn't an issue with all of the switches on my board, but I had to be picky about which switches were used where as the tolerances led some of the switches non-functional depending on where they were on the board since they couldn't quite reach the socket.3. These work with full-sized keycaps but the keycaps bottom out before the switches do so you may want to consider replacing those as well.4. I chose to remove the single stabilizer that is used on the Planck EZ's space key. These switches are sturdy enough to not need it and I bet that you it would not work with full-sized caps.Usage:1. These switches can be pretty easy to pull off with the key caps so be aware that you might want to grab extras, just in case some pins break in the future.2. On the Planck, if you grab the keyboard by the keycaps instead of the case, you're likely to accidentally pull a switch out.3. With full-sized key caps, these feel like they have a much shorter throw than standard sized switches so be aware of that as well.4. They sound, feel, and look pretty nice which is good considering that this is really the only option for "low-profile" MX style switches like these.5. My typing speed actually improved on my Planck with these switches vs my Cherry silent reds. Guessing that this could mostly be attributed to the shorter throw that I'm experiencing from the key caps bottoming out but still! They feel fast lol.

I recently got a Zsa Moonlander keyboard, but hated the switches it came with. (I also hated the key caps, but we’ll get to that later). I realized that I’m used to low-profile keys, so I set out on a quest to see what I could do to make this keyboard work for me and my needs. There aren’t a ton of options in the low-profile MX-compatible area - in fact, I think this is one of the only ones. I gave it a shot since the price seemed decent. Initially I ordered the reds because one of my concerns was the clicky sound, but found out quickly that they were way too sensitive. Just resting my fingers on the keys might trigger a key press. I decided to give the browns a shot, and I’m so glad I did. They are exactly what I needed. Just enough resistance that I’m not accidentally triggering keys or triggering keys twice. They’re not any louder than the reds, in my opinion. They all work perfectly so far, but we’ll see how they hold up. This was my first time swapping out key switches, so I’m not sure if it was me, or if this is common, but the small pins on the bottom (specifically the one I circled in the photo I attached) had a tendency to bend when plugging it in. Sometimes it was probably my fault, but it also made me realize that a few of the switches actually came bent once I started inspecting. That part is really sensitive, so be aware. However, it’s also really easy to bend back into shape. So, I would just remove the switches that didn’t work, bend that piece back, and put them back in. This fixed the issue 100% of the time. As for the low-profile-y-ness, they’re perfect! I attached some pictures of my keyboard with the original switches and one of the original key caps, as well as some other key caps I tried, and the first few images are of the final key caps I settled on (well, more or less anyway). I found that the Nuphy key caps worked perfectly and were exactly what I wanted. I thought I ordered the shine-through version, but the ones pictured are not. So I’m waiting on a shipment from Nuphy for those, but it should be the last thing on the list to complete this setup. If you’re not a fan of the Nuphy caps, I also mixed in a few XVX key caps, which are very similar, but seem to have slightly less surface area than the Nuphy’s. They also seem a tiny bit more slippery. However, all of them fit on these keyswitches without issue. Definitely recommend giving these a shot!

Just replaced the switches on my Everest Max keyyoard with these loow profile kkeys. typinig iis fantastiic, ergoonomically. But, as you can see, they keys oooften doouble regiister or don't regiiister at all... can it is the same keys... these things just are aweful. get something different, iif you can fiind anyything compatible with a standard hoot swapale cherry pin layout that isi low proofiile, please let me know.

I ordered 6 packs (120 switches). 103 of the switches work great and I am very satisfied with them. They have a nice clicky sound, very short actuation travel and very responsive.17 of the switches, just shy of a complete pack (not all we’re in pack) we’re faulty and did not work. I tried multiple spots with each switch, multiple time to make sure it was not my keyboard. Some switches have a bent pin, but this did not seem to affect whether they worked or not when the pin was bent back into position. They would get 5 stars if all or only one or two didn’t work, but I can only give 3 stars due to the amount of faulty switches.
