POWER YOU CAN FEEL.
Born from a passion for keyboards and inspired by retro design and the crisp snap of typewriters, the MX FALCON soars with bold feedback and a satisfying tactile punch. As CHERRY’s first switch with a long-pole stem, it brings richer sound and sharper feel to every keypress. Designed for heavy typists, creators, and enthusiasts who crave precision, control, and a switch with serious personality.
UPPER HOUSING
Upper Housing is a CAD high precision component made of plastic polymer. With a tolerance of less than 0.01 mm, the component guides the switching slide precisely, forming the CHERRY MX keyswitch’s switching mechanism housing.
LONGPOLE STEM TECHNOLOGY
The CHERRY MX FALCON is CHERRY’s first switch with a longpole stem. Due to the extended stem, it hits the housing earlier – creating a more defined, powerful bottom-out feel. This design intensifies the tactile feedback and produces a characteristically clear and rich acoustic profile. Material selection, tolerances, and travel distance are precisely tuned to match the heavy-tactile characteristics – delivering a precise, consistently noticeable typing experience with maximum control.
GOLD CROSSPOINT CONTACT
Gold-based, the crosspoint contact is the heart of every CHERRY MX keyswitch and the basis of its incredible reliability and durability. With absolute precision, these triangular cross-contacts meet each other at precise right angles. This unique CHERRY innovation and ornate gold-plating make the electrical contact enclosure self-cleaning and gives the keyswitch permanent protection against corrosion, guaranteeing the keyswitch for more than 50 million operations.
PRECISION COIL SPRING
The keyswitch’s coil spring pressure resistance is the CHERRY MX’s sparring partner for your fingers. The high-density molecular structure of the spring’s metal alloy is calculated individually on the keyswitch and consistently optimized for the keyswitch’s specific pressure force.
HOUSING BASE
Dual-functional, the housing base component is made of plastic polymer and glass fibre. The inner part forms the mounting for the CHERRY MX keyswitch’s switching mechanism. The outer part is both the base and mounting surface for CHERRY’s mechanical keyboards.
SWITCH KIT
The CHERRY MX FALCON SWITCH KIT contains 36 switches that will give your mechanical keyboard a premium tactile typing feel with every keystroke.
