Cherry MX Emerald Reef Silent Tactile Switches (10pcs)
Tax included. Shipping from €3.90, free from €70.
The Cherry MX Emerald Reef is a silent tactile: a clearly defined bump, but dampened. Cherry's patented dampening works on both bottom-out and return, keeping the switch almost silent and free of rattle. The key numbers: 41 gf actuation force, bump at 60 gf, 2 mm pre-travel and 3.8 mm total travel – an inbetween, slightly shorter than the 4 mm of classic MX switches. It stands out visually too: a translucent green top housing, a teal bottom housing and a jade green stem.
Who is it for? Anyone who wants tactile feedback but needs to type quietly – at the office, in an open-plan space or late at night. With its integrated lens it's fully RGB-ready, and the Gold Crosspoint contacts are rated for more than 50 million keystrokes. It comes factory-lubed and ready to go, and as a 5-pin switch it fits MX hot-swap boards. Find more quiet tactile switches under Silent Tactile Switches.
