SWEET AND SILENT.
Meet the MX HONEY – CHERRY’s silent tactile switch. Designed to challenge the myth that mechanical keyboards don’t belong in the office, this switch is perfect for shared spaces. It offers crisp, tactile feedback at the actuation point, with patented dampening that softens the sound without compromising the feel. Quiet, smooth, satisfying.
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. In the "MX RGB" version, CHERRY Refract technology is integrated into the component: A computer-calculated lens set that uses active light refraction to direct the illumination from the SMD LED on the circuit board into the keycap without loss.
SWITCHING SLIDE / STEM
A CAD high-precision component made of plastic polymer specifically for the CHERRY MX creates the pre travel and the keystroke feel between the upper housing and coil spring. The key cap is attached on the upper part of the stem.
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. In the "MX RGB" version, the lower part of the housing is translucent and has a recess for the SMD LED on the circuit board.
SWITCH KIT
The CHERRY MX2A HONEY Switch Kit includes 36 switches that deliver a premium silent-tactile typing feel. With every keystroke, you’ll experience crisp feedback, reduced noise, and precise actuation.
