Cherry MX RGB Clear

Cherry MX RGB Clear switches are the heavyweight tactiles of the RGB lineup. Designed for typists who want a more forceful, satisfying bump than MX Browns, these switches offer a pronounced tactile event with a 65g actuation force. They're ideal for users who love the feel of MX Clears but want modern features like full RGB lighting support. With a transparent top housing and a classic tactile stem, RGB Clears blend old-school typing muscle with 2020s aesthetics.

Key Features

• Feel: Crisp, weighty tactility – excellent for intentional, confident typing.
• Lifespan: Rated for 50 million keystrokes – built to outlast your keeb and your deadlines.

User Feedback

Users who gravitate toward RGB Clears are usually tactile enthusiasts who don’t want to mod switches just to get satisfying feedback. They’re praised for their distinct bump and heavier press, a combo that helps prevent accidental keypresses and offers a more focused, deliberate typing experience. Writers, coders, and heavy-handed typists often call this their favorite “out-of-the-box tactile switch.”

On the flip side, some folks find RGB Clears too stiff for fast-paced gaming or extended typing sessions. And compared to enthusiast tactiles like Holy Pandas or Boba U4Ts, they lack a bit of smoothness unless lubed. But for many, that's part of the charm, these switches feel mechanical, in the best possible way.

If you want an RGB-friendly tactile switch that brings weight, feedback, and retro-Clear energy to a modern build, Cherry MX RGB Clears are your go-to. They’re not the flashiest tactiles out there, but they will make you feel like you’re typing with purpose.
