CHERRY takes pride in introducing the MX2A, a new evolution of mechanical switches meticulously crafted in Germany to redefine excellence.



This advanced switch promises an enhanced typing experience, improved acoustics, and exceptional durability, setting a new standard in the realm of mechanical switches. The MX2A signifies a transformative step forward, building upon the legacy of CHERRY's original MX switches. Every aspect of the switch has undergone meticulous refinement, resulting in an unparalleled actuation experience characterized by smoother, more responsive keystrokes and remarkable longevity.

The MX2A Lineup: Precision in Variants

The MX2A lineup offers a range of variants including MX Red, MX Brown, MX Black, MX Speed Silver, and MX Silent Red, each with their respective RGB options. Notably, the MX Blue variant maintains its distinctive clicky feel without lubrication and barrel spring adjustments, preserving its unique character.

Hyperglide Technology: Unprecedented Durability

The MX2A incorporates Hyperglide technology, ensuring an industry-leading 100 million actuations. This longevity is achieved through a combination of premium-grade lubrication applied to the newly designed socket dome, automated high-precision ring lubrication, and a shift to barrel geometry for linear movement. These enhancements minimize spring noise and abrasion, resulting in a tranquil and satisfying typing experience.

Innovative Spring Design: Precision Redefined

The MX2A showcases an innovative spring design that shifts from cylindrical to barrel geometry, reducing spring deformation and friction. A redesigned spring-centering stem, featuring ribs resembling a "crown," enhances consistency, reduces scratchiness, and improves overall sliding properties. Further refinement includes an improved stem guidance system with diamond-polished sliding surfaces for smoother actuation.

Gold Crosspoint Contact System: Unrivaled Precision

Continuing the tradition of CHERRY MX switches, the MX2A incorporates the Gold Crosspoint Contact System, guaranteeing precise keystrokes and an unmatched debounce time of less than 1 millisecond.

A New Era of Mechanical Switch Technology

The MX2A isn't just an upgrade; it's a revolution in mechanical switch technology, setting new industry benchmarks and pushing boundaries. Reflecting CHERRY's commitment to perfection, the MX2A stands as the superior choice for keyboard manufacturers and users seeking the epitome of performance.

CHERRY XTRFY K5V2: Pioneer of MX2A Integration

CHERRY XTRFY introduces the K5V2, the first mechanical keyboard equipped with CHERRY MX2A switches. This compact, ultra-customizable 65% format gaming keyboard builds upon the K5's foundation, allowing gamers to swap switches, stabilizers, keycaps, and more to create their own unique design. With super-scan technology, RGB lighting, and a focus on build quality, the K5V2 elevates the gaming experience to new heights.

Availability

The CHERRY MX2A is currently available for B2B orders and will soon be accessible to end customers and DIY enthusiasts. The initial batch of keyboards featuring the MX2A switch will debut with the CHERRY XTRFY K5V2, expected to launch later this year.
