Cherry MX2A RGB Purple

The Cherry MX2A RGB Purple is a premium tactile switch developed in collaboration with Glarses, bringing enthusiast-grade feel to the MX2A lineup. Designed to deliver a sharper, more satisfying bump than MX Browns, this switch strikes the perfect balance between comfort and tactility. With a ~45g actuation force, crisp tactile event, and a full suite of MX2A upgrades — including factory lubrication, an improved barrel spring, and tighter housing tolerances — the MX2A RGB Purple offers a refined typing experience right out of the box. And with a clear top housing, it’s fully compatible with per-key RGB lighting.

User Feedback

Early impressions from enthusiasts are glowing: the MX2A RGB Purple finally gives Cherry a tactile switch that can compete with modern community favorites. The bump is snappy, deliberate, and satisfying — far more noticeable than Browns, yet smoother and more refined than Clears or older tactile alternatives. Factory lube helps eliminate scratch, and the tighter housing design gives the switch a more stable, confident press.

Typists love the feedback and sound signature, describing it as "crisp but composed." Gamers appreciate the actuation control without the drawbacks of clicky switches. The RGB housing also makes it a favorite for themed builds or showcase keyboards where aesthetics matter as much as feel.

If you’ve been waiting for a Cherry tactile switch that finally feels as good as it should, the MX2A RGB Purple delivers — enthusiast-grade tactility, clean acoustics, and premium build quality, all in a stock package.
