Standard of Precision and Durability Pioneer of Keyboard Switches
DIY Keyboard Yourself
For over 60 years, CHERRY has been at the forefront of keyboard innovation, renowned for its German engineering excellence and unwavering commitment to quality. Our CHERRY MX Standard Switches exemplify this legacy, setting the benchmark for mechanical keyboards worldwide.
The CHERRY switch is the earliest manufacturer of mechanical keyboard switches, and it is also the first to develop four basic keyboard switches to apply to different operating environments and users. For example, the black switch is suitable for games, the blue switch is suitable for code words, the red switch is suitable for office work, the brown switch is suitable for novices, and so on. It is deeply loved by many mechanical keyboard lovers.
The CHERRY MX Switches are the standard of precision and durability in mechanical keyboard technology. Manufactured entirely in Germany, these switches are available in linear, tactile, and clicky variants, each distinguished by the color of the cross-shaped plunger. Options with or without RGB illumination cater to diverse user preferences.
CHERRY Black
- Powerful and Direct
- The CHERRY Black Switch is linear switch. There is no pause in pressing, the actuation force is large, and the rebound is violent. It is the first choice for those heavy fans and players who play games for a long time.
CHERRY Red
- Smooth and Direct
- The CHERRY Red Switch feels straight up and down, with no pause in the touch. The rebound is softer. It feels like squeezing cotton. The typing feel is continuous and the pressing feels light.
CHERRY Brown
- Focuses and Noticeable
- The CHERRY Brown Switch is more focused on giving users a tactile feedback with a slight click and a weaker paragraph feel, and the rebound feel is similar to the red switch, combining the soft feel of the red switch and the weakened paragraph sense of the blue switch. Taking into account the characteristics of both.
CHERRY Blue
- Clicky and Noticeable
- The CHERRY Blue Switch can give users a click and a strong sense of paragraph feedback in the feel. There is a slight pause in the rebounding process, similar to the feeling of a circlip when a ballpoint pen is pressed, and a percussion rhythm is formed during the long-term recording process.
CHERRY Silver
- Focused, Robust and Noticeable
- The CHERRY Silver Switch is officially positioned as an e-sports switch. It is born for games. The ultra-short trigger keystroke can generate signals faster, and its rebound is similar to the black switch, which is very suitable for use in game scenarios.
