The Cherry MX<\/span> switch is, arguably, one of the most important mechanical keyboard switches of all time. Some might argue it\u2019s one of the best<\/em> mechanical switches ever. No other switch has quite the same legacy. It\u2019s been around for decades and is one of the few switches that run the whole gamut of keyboards. You can find it in everything from point-of-sale systems<\/a>, office cubicles<\/a>, and police cars<\/a> to gaming setups<\/a> and even premium, limited-run custom keyboards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Until recently, nearly every mechanical gaming keyboard shipped with MX Reds, Browns, or Blues. For a long time, Cherry\u2019s switches were the best option\u2014mechanical switch or otherwise\u2014for building a keyboard, and they had a reputation for their outstanding typing feel and longevity when compared to their rubber dome and scissor-switch contemporaries.<\/p>\n

I have a love for the original Cherry MX switches. They still have a personality and charm no other switch has been able to replicate. I type on them regularly, almost every day, and always find them a treat to use, despite their shortcomings. So it came as a surprise when Cherry announced a successor with the MX2A. How could one of the most beloved and long-lasting mechanical switches suddenly change so drastically? Could these changes make the MX better?<\/p>\n
