Full Lineup of Next-Generation Switches to Debut at COMPUTEX 2025

At COMPUTEX 2025, one of the world’s premier computer technology trade shows held annually in Taipei, CHERRY unveils a bold new chapter in its storied history. The company presents its most significant innovation leap to date: the debut of the IK inductive switch, a preview of the MK magnetic switch platform, and the latest additions to its legendary MX mechanical switch family — MX Honey, MX Blossom, and MX Falcon.

Each product is meticulously designed to address specific user needs, combining CHERRY’s industry-leading engineering with a renewed focus on performance, efficiency, and customization.

This milestone product launch marks CHERRY’s evolution from a mechanical switch pioneer to a multi-technology input solutions innovator. Building on decades of precision design expertise, CHERRY is redefining switch technology through magnetic actuation, inductive sensing, and analog intelligence. Its next-generation switch lineup is now structured across three distinct product families:

• MK Series – Magnetic switches designed for frictionless speed and gaming-grade precision.
• IK Series – Inductive switches powered by patented electromagnetic sensing, delivering contactless, energy-efficient performance.
• MX Series – The iconic mechanical switch, continuously refined in collaboration with the keyboard community and enhanced for modern applications.

Product Highlights

CHERRY IK, inductive analog key switch.

CHERRY IK – Designed for the Future

The IK is a next-generation analog switch built on CHERRY’s patented inductive sensing technology, enabling true contactless actuation through electromagnetic field detection. The result is smooth, consistent performance with no mechanical wear, even after millions of keystrokes.

Engineered for modern efficiency, IK consumes 50% less power than magnetic switches and only 5% of the power used by Hall effect switches, making it ideal for wireless keyboards where battery life is essential.

Unlike Hall switches that rely on magnets and complex sensor arrays, IK features a robust, magnet-free metal-based design for enhanced reliability, analog precision, and long-term stability. Enhanced RGB lighting, customizable actuation, and ultra-low power usage make it a new benchmark in smart input solutions.

Availability: Fall 2025

 

CHERRY MX Honey, silent tactile mechanical switch.

CHERRY MX Honey – Sweet and Silent

The MX Honey is CHERRY’s first silent tactile MX switch, engineered to deliver a satisfying tactile response with greatly reduced noise, making it perfect for offices, shared workspaces, and quiet environments.

As part of the new MX2A family, the MX Honey features CHERRY’s latest mechanical upgrades, including a newly optimized spring and factory-applied premium lubrication, ensuring smoother keystrokes, softer acoustics, and over 100 million keystrokes of durability.

Availability: Starting June 2025. 36-switch consumer kits to follow.

 

CHERRY MX Blossom, light linear mechanical switch.

CHERRY MX Blossom – Effortless Precision

To celebrate its 72nd anniversary, CHERRY introduces its lightest linear mechanical switch ever: the MX Blossom. With an actuation force of just 35 cN, it offers an ultra-light typing experience that sets a new standard in effortless control.

Also part of the MX2A series, the MX Blossom features CHERRY’s latest mechanical improvements, delivering smoother and quieter key presses—ideal for users who prefer speed, responsiveness, and comfort.

Availability: June 2025. Consumer switch kits are coming soon.

 

CHERRY MX Falcon, heavy tactile mechanical switch.

CHERRY MX Falcon – Power You Can Feel

CHERRY wraps up its latest switch lineup with the MX Falcon – a community-inspired tactile switch built for heavy typists and enthusiasts who crave bold feedback. Inspired by retro design and the crisp snap of typewriters, it delivers a strong tactile feel with every press.

As CHERRY’s first long-pole stem switch, it offers a sharper bottom-out and richer sound. Its playful, ’90s-inspired colorway blends nostalgic design with high-performance precision.

The CHERRY MX Falcon will be ready early June. For consumers, 36-switch kits will be coming shortly after.
