With an ultra-short 1.2mm actuation point, this switch is ideal for competitive gaming and fast-paced typing. As part of the MX2A family, it features factory-applied lubrication, a redesigned barrel spring, tighter housing tolerances, and a clear top housing — delivering smoother keystrokes, improved acoustics, and bright, clean RGB shine-through straight out of the box.

• Spring: New barrel spring – snappier return, less ping, and more consistent feel.

User Feedback

Users say the MX2A RGB Speed Silver lives up to the name — it’s quick, responsive, and noticeably smoother than the older version. The shorter travel and light actuation make it a favorite for competitive FPS, MOBAs, rhythm games, and fast typists who want minimal resistance and instant feedback. The factory lube and upgraded housing deliver a quieter, more premium sound profile, with less wobble and more polish across the board.

Compared to standard MX Reds, Speed Silvers feel more reactive and a touch more "snappy." While they’re not for everyone — especially those who tend to rest fingers on keys — they shine in high-performance builds where speed is the top priority. And now that they look as good as they feel, they’re also a favorite for RGB-centric setups.

If you want one of the fastest stock switches on the market with modern smoothness and glow-up aesthetics, the Cherry MX2A RGB Speed Silver delivers — fast, fluid, and finally refined.
