Cherry MX2A RGB Silent Red

The Cherry MX2A RGB Silent Red is a quiet linear switch designed for smooth, whisper-soft operation and full RGB compatibility. Built on the lightweight MX Red feel, this switch features integrated silicone dampening pads to soften both the downstroke and return, drastically reducing noise. Now part of the MX2A platform, Silent Red has been upgraded with factory-applied lube, a redesigned barrel spring, and tighter tolerances — making it smoother, quieter, and more stable than ever. All wrapped in a clear top housing for maximum shine-through in RGB builds.

Key Features

User Feedback

Users love how much cleaner and more refined the MX2A RGB Silent Red feels compared to the older Silent Red. The factory lube eliminates scratch, and the improved spring delivers a quieter, more consistent return. It’s a perfect choice for shared workspaces, late-night gaming, or anyone who wants a truly stealthy board without sacrificing smoothness or RGB aesthetics.

The dampening pads work incredibly well at softening both bottom-out and return sounds, making this one of the quietest stock mechanical switches you can get. It still maintains that light Cherry Red feel — great for fast typists and casual gamers — but now feels more premium and polished out of the box.

If you want a silent linear switch that looks great, feels smooth, and won’t wake the household, the Cherry MX2A RGB Silent Red is the ultimate quiet companion. No mods, no noise, no compromises.
