How to Choose the Right Switch for 3D Printed Toys
Tommy ThaiOutemu Blues
These are the most popular Clicky switch for makers because they're the best value for money. The switches feel great and produce the a loud audible click via a click-jacket mechanism which is essentially "plastic parts hitting each other to make sound".
Does it matter which version of Outemu Blues I get?
You might have noticed that the Outemu Blues on Mechstock look different to other types of Outemu Blues used by other makers on social media. This is because the switches we supply have a dust-proof stem design.
What isn't mentioned anywhere else the fact that regular Outemu Blues and dust-proof Outemu Blues feel and sound completly different, even though they share the same name and come from the same manufacture.
As a supplier of switches for 7 years, I was able to notice this difference and after speaking with the supplier, can confirm that different Outemu Blue models do produce different levels of "Click" even though they come from the same factory. It's a strange phenomenon but something you should be aware of when making 3D Printed Toys. You don't want to have an inconsistent batch of Clickers where some sound great and others sound average.
Buying from Mechstock guarantees you're looked after and getting the best quality Outemu Blues in Australia.
