When it comes to mechanical keyboard switches, few names carry as much weight as CHERRY. The German manufacturer has long been a benchmark for switch quality and innovation. Today, we’re proud to introduce four of their newest releases — the MX Falcon, MX2A Honey, M2AX Blossom, and MX2A Northern Light — now in stock at our shop (with one exception) and ready for your next build.
🔍 Overview of Each Switch
Here’s a breakdown of what makes each of these switches stand out:
CHERRY MX Falcon
The MX Falcon is designed for a heavy-tactile experience: it features a strong tactile bump, nearly 50 cN operating force, and a long-pole stem technology for a fuller feel and richer sound. It’s ideal for users who want something robust and substantial — typists, creators, or anyone who prefers a distinct tactile response.
CHERRY MX2A Honey
A silent tactile switch, the MX2A Honey delivers crisp tactile feedback while suppressing noise — perfect for shared workspaces or quiet environments. With an actuation force around 45 cN and total travel of 3.7 mm, it offers a refined feel with minimal sound. Note: This one is coming later this year (so it’s not yet in stock).
CHERRY M2AX Blossom
This is CHERRY’s lightest linear switch to date. With a low 35 cN actuation force and smooth travel, the MX Blossom is built for speed and comfort. If you’re into minimal resistance and ultra-smooth typing or gaming, this one might be your pick.
CHERRY MX2A Northern Light
A silent, ultra-smooth linear switch, the Northern Light blends elegant design inspiration (from the aurora borealis) with high performance. Specs show 45 cN actuation, 1.6 mm pre-travel and 3.7 mm total travel. Cherry It’s perfect for quiet builds where you still want smooth, premium feel.
