Cherry MX Nature White

Cherry MX Nature White switches are a lesser-known linear variant that sit neatly between MX Reds and MX Blacks in terms of actuation force. Designed for users who want a smoother, more deliberate keystroke than Reds — but without the full-on weight of MX Blacks — Nature Whites hit that ergonomic middle ground. With no tactile bump or click, they deliver a smooth, clean typing experience with just the right amount of resistance for controlled, precise input.

Key Features

User Feedback

Nature Whites have built a quiet cult following among those who’ve tried them. Many users say they feel “just right” — offering more control than MX Reds without the finger fatigue that can come from long sessions on MX Blacks. Typing is smooth, deliberate, and satisfying, especially when paired with lube and quality keycaps.

They’re especially popular with people who type heavily or game for long hours and want a linear switch that gives a touch more resistance without sacrificing speed. While not widely available in mainstream boards, enthusiasts who’ve tracked them down tend to hoard them like treasure.

If you love linear switches but find Reds too light and Blacks too heavy, Cherry MX Nature White might just be your Goldilocks switch — smooth, balanced, and criminally underrated.
