CHERRY MX Low Profile RGB offer a lifetime of more than 100 million actuations

Cherry released a new Cherry MX Low Profile RGB mechanical switch in 2018, commonly known as a profile mechanical switch. Its height is only 11.9mm, which is between the traditional standard MX axle body (18.5mm) and the Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile mechanical axle (3.5mm) introduced last year. The Cherry MX Low Profile RGB mechanical shaft reduces the height while retaining the feel of the mechanical shaft to the greatest extent.

According to TechPowerup, Cherry has increased the Cherry MX Low Profile RGB lifetime from the original 50 million times to more than 100 million times without loss of input quality. The Cherry MX Low Profile RGB mechanical switches shipped from mid-2021 have reached new standards, and I believe many users will benefit from this. In order to achieve the goal of doubling life, Cherry has optimized the Gold Crosspoint contact system through continuous, refined analysis and quality improvement, and adopted unique new materials,

The Cherry MX Low Profile RGB red switch retains the linear feel of the standard Cherry MX red switch, as well as classic parameters such as an operating force of 45 centinewtons. In addition, Cherry MX Low Profile RGB mechanical shaft adopts a transparent chassis and upper cover, light can easily pass through, and with Cherry’s unique SMD LED, it can realize 16.8 million color lights, and the lighting effect is very uniform. However, the shaft body and the keycap buckle adopt a new circular cross shape, and the existing keycaps are not universal.
