The MX ILLUMA RED is a linear switch with an actuation force of 45 cN, while the MX ILLUMA BROWN provides tactile feedback at 55 cN. Both are built on CHERRY's Gold Crosspoint technology and are rated for more than 100 million keystrokes.
The MX EMERALD REEF, built on the MX ILLUMA platform, targets users who want tactile feedback with quieter operation. It features an actuation force of 41 cN, actuates at 2.0 mm and is rated for more than 50 million keystrokes. The switch has a distinctive turquoise housing, light blue base and neon green stem inspired by coral reefs.
CHERRY also introduced the MX EXPERIENCE BOX 2ND EDITION, which includes sample versions of 10 MX switches including the new releases. All switches use a 5-pin design and are compatible with hot-swap keyboards, allowing users to test and compare typing feel, sound and performance before purchasing.
