Cherry MX2A RGB Red

The Cherry MX2A RGB Red is the next-gen version of Cherry’s most popular linear switch — now factory-lubed, visually optimized, and performance-tuned. With a light 45g actuation force and smooth, bump-free travel, this switch is designed for speed, comfort, and quiet responsiveness. Whether you’re gaming, typing, or building a clean RGB showcase board, the MX2A RGB Red delivers a refined linear experience that finally feels polished right out of the box.

Key Features

• Pre-Travel: 2.0mm | Total Travel: 4.0mm – standard Cherry MX travel distance.
• Factory Lubed: Yes – reduces friction and improves smoothness without any modding.
• Spring: Redesigned barrel spring – more consistent force curve with reduced ping.

User Feedback

Users immediately notice how much smoother the MX2A RGB Red feels compared to its predecessor. The factory lube eliminates the dry, scratchy feel old Reds were known for, and the upgraded housing makes each keypress feel more stable and refined. Typists love the effortless actuation for long sessions, while gamers appreciate the low resistance and fast input response for everything from FPS titles to rhythm games.

Compared to other linears like Gateron Red Pro or HMX Cream Yellow, the MX2A RGB Red now holds its own in terms of smoothness and acoustics — but with Cherry’s legendary build quality and switch consistency. Plus, the clear housing makes it perfect for RGB builds where you want the lights to shine as brightly as your skills.

If you loved the classic MX Red but wished it felt more premium without mods, the MX2A RGB Red is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. Clean, light, smooth — and now seriously modern.
