Cherry, the go-to name in mechanical keyboard switches, is shaking things up with the release of its new switches at this year’s Computex. If you’re a keyboard enthusiast, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the MK Series, IK Series, and the classic MX switches that Cherry is known for.
The MK Series features magnetic switches that offer a slick feel and precise price action, making them ideal for gamers looking for a different option from standard mechanical switches. On the other hand, the new IK Series introduces contactless inductive switches with electromagnetic sensors, boasting impressive energy efficiency and durability for wireless keyboard setups.
Of course, we can’t forget about the beloved MX switches that Cherry is famous for. The MX range is expanding with the addition of new switches like the MX Honey, Blossom, and Falcon. The MX Honey switch is Cherry’s first tactile and silent switch, perfect for those who want a quiet keyboard without sacrificing tactile feedback. The MX Blossom switch promises an ultra-light feel, catering to typists and gamers who prefer a softer touch. Lastly, the Falcon switch is designed for those who crave a snappy and crisp key press, making it a great choice for gamers who want to feel every keystroke.
All of these new switches are set to be released in June this year, so keep an eye out for them if you’re in the market for a new keyboard switch. And if you’re not really sure why this matters, well, maybe it’s just me, but having a variety of switches to choose from can really make a difference in how your keyboard feels and performs. So, whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a typist, or just someone who likes a good keyboard, Cherry’s new switches are definitely worth checking out.
