Cherry MX RGB Grey

Cherry MX RGB Grey switches are the muscle behind your RGB keyboard — a heavy tactile switch built for stability, durability, and long-term reliability. Designed primarily for large modifier keys like the spacebar, the RGB Grey offers a pronounced tactile bump with an extra-stiff 80g actuation force. The clear top housing enables full per-key RGB illumination, making them ideal for modern backlit keyboards that need visual flash and physical firmness in equal measure.

Key Features

User Feedback

MX RGB Greys don’t show up often in full key layouts, but where they do appear, they hold the line. Users love the resistance they offer in the spacebar and other big keys — preventing accidental presses while delivering a clean, confident thock. Some brave souls even build full boards with Greys, describing them as “challenging but rewarding” — like training your fingers at altitude.

Compared to MX Browns or Clears, RGB Greys offer a much stronger tactile bump and require significantly more force to actuate. This makes them ideal for high-precision users who really want to avoid accidental keypresses. But for casual typists or rapid-fire gamers? They can feel overkill unless you’re into that heavy-duty feedback life.

If you want to give your large keys a rock-solid feel — or you just like your tactiles with extra resistance and a bit of RGB dazzle — Cherry MX RGB Greys are your industrial-strength option.
