Our Verdict
Outemu Red
Gateron G Pro Red
Outemu Red and Gateron G Pro Red switches are extremely similar linear switches with smooth actuation all the way through the keypress and short pre-travel. Both switches are well-suited for typing or gaming. The Gateron switches are a bit lighter, but this difference isn't significant, and most people likely won't feel the difference.
