Cherry MX2A RGB Brown

The Cherry MX2A RGB Brown is a next-gen upgrade to Cherry’s most popular tactile switch, offering a light, quiet bump paired with full RGB compatibility. Designed for all-purpose use — from casual gaming to all-day typing — this switch brings together the subtle tactility of classic Browns with MX2A’s modern improvements: factory-applied lubrication, a reengineered barrel spring for smoother actuation, tighter housing tolerances to reduce wobble, and a clear top housing for per-key RGB illumination. It’s the same easygoing switch, now with actual polish.

Key Features

User Feedback

MX2A RGB Browns are being praised as the best version of the Brown switch yet. Typists love the softer, smoother feel thanks to factory lube and improved internals — no more scratchiness or dry bump. The tactile event is still subtle, but now feels more intentional and “cleaner,” making it ideal for long typing sessions or general use without fatigue.

Gamers appreciate the switch's quiet operation and fast return, making it a solid choice for casual play, RPGs, or strategy titles where precision matters more than speed spamming. And the full RGB support? Icing on the cake — finally, Browns that look as good as they feel.

If you’re looking for a quiet, reliable tactile switch that doesn’t overpower your fingers — and now doesn’t need modding to feel decent — Cherry MX2A RGB Browns are the glow-up Browns always needed.
