Outemu is a Chinese brand that has made a significant impact in the mechanical keyboard market by offering affordable and reliable switches. Founded in the early 2000s, Outemu emerged during a time when the popularity of mechanical keyboards was on the rise, and there was a growing demand for more cost-effective alternatives to the established, higher-priced switch brands like Cherry MX. Recognizing this opportunity, Outemu focused on producing switches that mirrored the feel and functionality of these premium options, but at a fraction of the cost.
Initially, Outemu's switches were seen as a budget-friendly option, mainly used in entry-level mechanical keyboards. However, as the brand gained more recognition, they expanded their product lineup to include a wider variety of switches, such as linear, tactile, and clicky types, catering to different user preferences. Over the years, Outemu has continued to innovate, introducing specialized switches like the Ice and Silent series, which offer unique features like enhanced RGB lighting effects and quieter operation. Today, Outemu is well-regarded in the keyboard community for providing a balance of quality and affordability, making mechanical keyboards accessible to a broader audience.
