Outemu Silent Yellow Jade — Prominent Silent Tactile Switch | Quiet · 80M Cycles

Outemu Silent Yellow Jade Switch
Library-Level Silence Meets a Cloud-Like Soft Touch.
Are you terrified of waking up your roommates during late-night gaming sessions or typing sprints? Or are you sick of standard silent switches that feel like stepping in mud and cost a fortune? Outemu brings you the ultimate game-changer in value and modding potential—the "Outemu Silent Yellow Jade Prominent Tactile Switch."
Pushing acoustic performance and typing softness to the absolute limit, it innovatively utilizes a Foam-Infused POM Stem paired with dual silicone dampeners to aggressively slash typing noise by 95%. Combined with a balanced 50gf actuation and an extended 21.5mm spring, every keystroke feels as light and stress-relieving as pressing into soft cotton. Whether you're a student, a late-night coder, or an enthusiast eager for modding potential, the Yellow Jade delivers a true "Library Mode" experience at an unbeatable price.
Core Advantages: The Undisputed King of Budget Silent Switches
We know you don't just need a switch that "doesn't annoy others"—you need it to feel amazing, prevent fatigue, and be wallet-friendly. The Silent Yellow Jade is engineered to solve these exact pain points.
The Problem: Loud & Bothersome
Standard tactile switches clack loudly, easily disturbing those around you. Many budget "silent" switches use cheap dampeners and still suffer from scratchy friction noise.
The Problem: Harsh & Fatiguing
To achieve silence, many switches feel mushy or overly stiff at the bottom-out. Paired with heavy springs, typing quickly leads to sore, fatigued fingers.
The Problem: Insane Markups
Premium silent switches often cost an arm and a leg per switch, making a full keyboard build painfully expensive. Plus, many are notoriously hard to open for modding.
Say Goodbye to Bothersome Clack
Foam-Infused POM Eradicates 95% of Noise
Standard tactile switches are notoriously loud, and cheap silent alternatives often suffer from abrasive scratchiness due to poor materials.
Features an innovative Foam-Infused POM stem, combined with high-quality silicone noise-reduction pads on the rails and base. Stem wobble is strictly controlled to under 0.5mm.
Turn on "Library Mode" anytime, anywhere. This comprehensive dampening design absorbs 95% of bottom-out and rebound noise. Even in a dead-silent dorm or bedroom, all you hear is a faint, muffled "thud"—completely eliminating the sharp "clack" and giving your family peace of mind.
Say Goodbye to Harsh Bottom-outs
21.5mm Spring for a Cloud-Like Soft Touch
To mask sound, many silent switches feel brutally stiff or suffer from severe "mushiness," turning long typing sessions into a painful chore.
Equipped with a golden 50gf actuation and a massive 21.5mm extended spring, perfectly balanced with a 2.0mm pre-travel and 3.3mm total travel.
It’s not just quiet; it’s a massage for your fingers. The 21.5mm long spring provides superb initial support and a snappy rebound, effectively neutralizing the "mushiness" caused by silicone pads. Pressing it feels like sinking your fingertips into soft cotton—light, gentle, and incredibly satisfying for hours of fatigue-free typing.
Say Goodbye to Insane Markups
Unbeatable Value & High Modding Potential
High-end silent switches can cost a fortune per piece, making custom builds prohibitively expensive. Plus, tight housings make them a nightmare to open for lubing.
Built on the standard V3 architecture with MX pins and easy-to-open latch housings. While factory-lubed, it leaves massive headroom for custom modding—all at a fraction of the cost of premium switches.
Achieve top-tier feel for pennies on the dollar. This switch has a phenomenal "base." If you love tinkering, a simple spring swap or a touch of hand-lubing elevates its smoothness and acoustics to rival the most expensive silent switches on the market. An absolute godsend for students and modding beginners.

Customer Reviews
"The absolute savior for dorm life!"
"This is the quietest switch I have ever used! Even in a dead-silent room, you only hear a very faint whisper. Now I can pull all-nighters typing essays in my dorm, and my roommates have no idea. Pure magic."
"Hand-lube these and they ascend to god-tier."
"The foundation of the Yellow Jade is insane. I swapped in 22mm dual-stage springs and gave them a light hand-lube. The feel and acoustics now rival premium silent switches that cost five times as much. Unbeatable value."
"Cloud-like touch, incredibly relaxing."
"This 'cotton-soft' feel is seriously addictive. The 50g force is just perfect—zero fatigue even after long typing sessions, and the tactile bump is noticeable but not jarring. If you want a quiet, highly comfortable typing experience, this is it."
