Cherry MX Ergo Clear

Once a community-made mod and now a factory-prebuilt option, the Cherry MX Ergo Clear has made the leap from enthusiast legend to accessible tactile powerhouse. Originally created by swapping a Cherry MX Clear stem into a lighter spring (often from an MX Brown or Red), the Ergo Clear delivers a satisfying tactile bump with a lighter, more ergonomic press. Thanks to its growing popularity, you can now skip the modding and buy these ready-made — giving you all the signature feel without the Frankensteining.

Key Features

• Type: Tactile – sharp bump at actuation, no audible click.
• Operating Force: ~55g – noticeably lighter than stock MX Clears, for improved comfort and speed.
• Pre-Travel: 2.0mm | Total Travel: 4.0mm – standard MX travel, with better ergonomics than heavier tactiles.
• Feel: Firm and punchy bump without being fatiguing – a clean middle ground between Browns and Clears.
• Availability: Sold pre-built by select vendors – no modding required, just pop them in and enjoy.
• Lifespan: Rated for 50 million keystrokes – durable enough for years of heavy use.

User Feedback

Cherry MX Ergo Clears have earned a devoted following thanks to their perfect balance of tactility and comfort. Typists love the distinct bump that gives solid feedback without the overly stiff spring found in stock Clears. Compared to Browns, the bump is more satisfying and less vague — and the smoother feel is especially noticeable in long typing sessions.

Now that pre-built Ergo Clears are widely available, users no longer have to open switches, swap springs, or lube components (unless they want to). This has opened the door for newcomers and casual enthusiasts to experience what was once a niche mod only found in custom boards. The result? A tactile switch with deep community roots and modern-day convenience.

If you’re after a sharper tactile feel than Browns, but without the weight and fatigue of stock Clears or the “overkill” bump of Holy Pandas, the Cherry MX Ergo Clear is one of the best all-rounders out there — authentic, comfortable, and finally hassle-free.
