A CAD high-precision component made of plastic polymer specifically for this model which creates resistance and keystroke feel in the interaction between the upper housing and coil spring. And the key cap is attached on this. Its colour indicates the keyswitch characteristics: Its colour shows the module characteristic: BROWN – 55 cN. Its colour shows the module characteristic: BLUE – 60 cN. Its colour shows the module characteristic: RED – Linear 45 cN. Its colour shows the module characteristic: BLACK – Linear 60 cN. Its colour shows the module characteristic: SILVER – Linear 45 cN.





Another CAD high-precision component made of plastic polymer. With a tolerance of less than 0.01 mm, it guides the switching slide with precision and also forms the housing for the switching mechanism of the CHERRY MX keyswitch. CHERRY Refract technology is integrated into the MX RGB version. A computer-calculated lens-set that diverges the lighting from the SMD-LED on the circuit board loss-free to the key cap.


This is the sparring partner for your fingers. As the mechanical keyswitch, the pressure-resistance of a precision coil spring is generated with the CHERRY MX. The high-density molecular structure of the metal alloy is calculated individually on the keyswitch characteristics and is consistently optimised over time for the keyswitch-specific pressure force. Operating force: 45 cN. Operating force: 45 cN for the spring resistance in general, approx. 55 cN top value to overcome the switching point. Operating force: 50 cN for the spring resistance in general, approx. 60 cN top value to overcome the switching point. Operating force: 40-80 cN, approx. 60 cN typical. Betätigungskraft: 45 cN.


The heart of every CHERRY MX keyswitch. And the basis of incredible reliability and durability protected by patent: special triangular cross-contacts meet each other at right angles with absolute precision. This worldwide unique CHERRY innovation and ornate gold-plating make the electrical contact closure self-cleaning and thus keeps it permanently protected against corrosion. Guaranteed for 50 million operations. MX RGB model has CHERRY refract technology integrated in the component.
A computerised lens set diverges the lighting using active refraction 
from the SMD LED on the circuit board into the key caps loss-free.



Double functional component made of plastic polymer. The inner part forms the exact mounting for the switching mechanism of CHERRY MX keyswitches. The outer part is both the base and surface for the platinum mounting in mechanical keyboards. In the MX RGB version, the housing base is translucent and has a recess for the SMD LED on the circuit board.






A high-precision CAD component made of version-specific plastic polymer.
In the BLUE version as a two-part construction, in which the upper section of the housing and the coil spring combine to create resistance and tactile feel. The keycap is fitted onto it.
Its colour shows the module characteristic: BROWN – 55 cN.
Its colour shows the module characteristic: BLUE – 60 cN.
Its colour shows the module characteristic: RED – Linear 45 cN.
Its colour shows the module characteristic: BLACK – Linear 60 cN.
Its colour shows the module characteristic: SILVER – Linear 45 cN.


Lower section of the two-part BLUE shift carriage construction with click characteristic. A special, extremely tough plastic has been used to guide the central catch spring in an ideally calibrated linear movement, thus creating the precise click point.
Millionfold precision. Guaranteed.





Also a high-precision CAD component made of plastic polymer. With a tolerance of less than 0.05mm, it guides the shift carriage precisely and at the same time accommodates the switching mechanism of the CHERRY MX module. CHERRY Refract technology is integrated into the MX RGB version. A computer-calculated lens-set that diverges the lighting from the SMD-LED on the circuit board loss-free to the key cap.


This is the sparring partner for your fingers. In the CHERRY MX, as a mechanical module, the pressure resistance is produced by a precision coil spring. The highly dense molecular structure of the metal alloy is individually calculated for the module characteristic and permanently optimised for the module-specific compressive force applied. Operating force: 45 cN. Operating force: 45 cN. Operating force: 45 cN for the spring resistance in general, approx. 55 cN top value to overcome the switching point. Operating force: 50 cN for the spring resistance in general, approx. 60 cN top value to overcome the switching point. Operating force: 40-80 cN, approx. 60 cN typical.


The heart of every CHERRY MX module. And the patent-protected basis for their incredible reliability and durability: special triangular contacts meet absolutely precisely cross-wise and at right angles. Thanks to this unique CHERRY innovation and sophisticated gold-plating, they make the electrical contact and clean themselves simultaneously, thus remaining permanently corrosion-proof. Guaranteed 50 million times.



Dual-function component made of plastic polymer. The inside precisely accommodates the CHERRY MX module‘s switching mechanism. The outside is also the base and locating surface for circuit board installation in mechanical keyboards. The bottom section of the MX RGB version‘s housing is transculent, and has a recess on the circuit board for the SMD-LED.



A CAD high-precision component made of plastic polymer specifically for this model which creates resistance and keystroke feel in the interaction between the upper housing and coil spring. And the key cap is attached on this. Its colour indicates the keyswitch characteristics: Its colour shows the module characteristic: RED – Linear 45 cN. Its colour shows the module characteristic: BLACK – Linear 60 cN.


In order to suppress noises optimally, the precision switching slide has been supplemented with a TPE elastomer component. This patented* concept ensures that the bottom-out and top-out noise is unfailingly minimised. In no way does this affect the switching characteristics and the unique feel of the keystroke.
