Who would have ever thought we’d have not one, but two different major switches getting revamped in the same month? To not draw this out any longer because this review is already quite long in and of itself… I’m happy to debut a review of the Cherry MX2A RGB Black switches - the replacement and upgraded (?) version of the iconic MX-style switch design.
As always, thank you all for the continued support and readership! I got the chance to connect with a handful of readers at The Keyboard Meetup at Novelkeys last weekend and it was an absolute blast to get to share the collection in person. If you’re going to be at the Cannonkeys meetup here in a few weeks, I’ll be bringing just as many switches and even more cool stuff as well. Hope to see you there!
Sound is what I care the most about so definitely disappointing.
The sound is perhaps the worst aspect of the Cherry MX2A RGB Black switches, as the two-tone stroke and scratch sounds are incredibly apparent in stock form and become increasingly more aggressive at higher actuation speeds. That being said, though, the housing collisions are at least fairly muted and the switches seem free from high-pitched, metallic ping across any batch.
Will still get a set though. At least I’ll be able to say “yes, I tried it” when I wine and whine.
