To make it feel better and sound quieter.
The announcement of the Cherry MX2A comes after years of keyboard enthusiasts learning how to modify Cherry’s switches to overcome their perceived shortcomings. Depending on who you ask, Cherry’s switches have too much wobble, feel scratchy to press, and don’t sound as good as some of their competitors. Since Cherry’s patent for its MX switch expired, a host of other companies have started producing their own switches based on its design, often with tweaks designed to address these complaints.
Cherry’s range of switches will be offered in the new MX2A design, though not every switch will get every enhancement.There are numerous different official Cherry MX variants, ranging from linear Red switches to tactile Browns and clicky Blues. Each of these switches will be offered in the new MX2A design, but Blues and Silent Reds will miss out on a couple of the enhancements, per Cherry’s table above.
Although Cherry has carried forward the overall design of the MX switch with the MX2A , it’s made a host of tweaks in an attempt to improve upon it. The switches use a new barrel-shaped spring rather than the old cylindrical design, which the company says should feel more consistent and smooth. Each switch stem is also designed with a so-called “crown” of ribs to help keep the spring centered.
