Key Features
Cherry MX Green switches are what you get when you take the iconic MX Blue and give it a protein shake. Designed for those who love that classic clicky feel but crave a heavier, more deliberate keypress, Greens deliver the same tactile bump and signature click as Blues — just with more resistance. Originally intended for use in space bars, MX Greens have developed a niche following among typists who like their switches loud, clicky, and heavy enough to feel every keypress like a handshake from a keyboard.

- Lifespan: Rated for 50 million keystrokes – sturdy enough to outlive your patience for silence.
User Feedback
MX Greens are a love letter to clicky switch fans who want more. More resistance, more sound, more presence. Users often describe the feel as “authoritative” — every press feels intentional and deeply satisfying, especially for heavy typists or those with a more aggressive style. The bump is prominent, the click is loud, and the spring weight ensures you’re not mashing through keystrokes accidentally.
They’re especially popular with typists who found MX Blues too light or prone to accidental actuations. Some even prefer them for gaming — though only if you’re the kind of person who wants their WASD to sound like a round of applause.
Of course, all that clickiness comes with a price: noise. These switches are not stealthy. Using them in a shared space will absolutely earn you stares — and possibly a nickname like “Click Commander.” But hey, if you’re typing solo and want the full sensory experience, MX Greens are among the most satisfying clicky switches you can get your hands on.
