The Outemu Silent Honey Peach V3 Pro switches come with a new silencing silicone gel for an improved silent experience compared to the V2. With the new silencing get, Silent Honey Peach V3 has a smaller than 35db noise level which is super quiet. The new top housing design brings in a huge light diffuser for better RGB shine through effect.
If you're looking for a lighter feeling, silent tactile switch, the Outemu Silent Lime V3 switches are a great option, especially for the price. They have a subtle tactile bump, similar to the classic Cherry MX Brown, but are much smoother thanks to the factory lubing and more modern design.
Compared to my other silent switches (TTC Silent Bluish White, and LCET Milky Green), these are definitely the quietest switch in my collection. As the specs suggest, these have a noticeably shorter stroke length than any of my other switches, and a very light spring. These properties, along with the small tactile bump, makes these almost effortless to type out long documents with. As with all silicone pad silenced switches, these do have a very soft bottom-out feel. Personally, I really like the softer bottom-out feel, but I can see how someone who prefers a more solid key might consider these to be "mushy".
If you like RGB, the light diffuser seems to amplify the light from LEDs, and creates a nice, even spread of light. In my third picture, you can see the light pattern comparing the following switches, left to right, top to bottom: TTC Silent Bluish White, Asus NX Snow, Gateron Jupiter Brown, TTC (again), Outemu Silent Lime, and LCET Milky Green.
Note that despite what you see in my pictures, these are a 5-pin design. I had to cut off the two stabilizing pins in order to fit them to the Das Keyboard Model S Pro that I plan to use at my work office.
My Take on the Outemu Silent Lime V3 Switches (Factory Lubed):
So, I’ve been using these Outemu Silent Lime V3 tactile switches for a little while now, and honestly, I’m pretty impressed. I wanted something quiet but still tactile—something that wouldn’t annoy people around me when I’m typing late, but also had a nice little bump under my fingers. These switches nailed it.
First off, they come factory lubed, which is honestly a huge time-saver. I’m not someone who loves dissecting my keyboard or messing with tiny switches for hours, so having that smoothness right away was a breath of fresh air. The keys feel smooth and the tactile bump is subtle, but it — not one of those super blunt “mushy” bumps, but a light, crisp one. It’s satisfying without being distracting.
The sound is probably my favourite part — these switches are downright quiet. When I bottom out, it’s just a soft, muted thud. No loud clicks or annoying clacks. I work around other people and sometimes, late at night, want to keep things hush, and these let me do that. Compared to other “silent” switches I’ve tried, these feel much quieter and nicer.
Also, I noticed the keys don’t wobble much, which helps with accuracy and just feels solid. The travel is a bit shorter than average, too, so it’s pretty responsive, which is great for gaming or fast typing.
All in all, they’re just really comfortable for long hours of typing and gaming. I don’t get finger fatigue like I sometimes do on heavier switches, and because they’re quiet, I don’t have to worry about being “that guy” making too much noise.
If you want a switch that’s smooth, quiet, and has that nice little tactile bump without any extra tinkering, I’d recommend giving the Outemu Silent Lime V3 a try. They check all the boxes for me.
Tactile bump is noticeable but too light (imo). The pre travel before the bump and very light tactility just make it feel like a crappy, crunchy linear.
If you want a very light, silent switch - then these are for you. They are whisper quiet which is exactly what I was looking for, but they ended up being too light for my preferences. Because of how light they are, the tactile bump is subtle.
