Cherry MX Illuma Brown Tactile Switches (10pcs)
Tax included. Shipping from €3.90, free from €70.
The Cherry MX Illuma Brown brings the familiar Brown character to Cherry's new Illuma platform: tactile without a click, 45 gf actuation force and a clearly noticeable bump at 55 gf, with 2 mm pre-travel and 4 mm total travel. Cherry reworked the stem guidance and housing – less wobble and rattle, a clear top housing with an integrated lens and better light guidance for RGB, and a glass-fiber reinforced bottom housing. The contacts remain Cherry's Gold Crosspoint, rated for more than 100 million keystrokes.
Who is it for? Anyone who wants to feel feedback while typing without a click – the classic middle ground between linear and clicky, now made for backlit boards. It comes factory-lubed and ready to go, and as a 5-pin switch it fits MX hot-swap boards. Find more tactile switches under Tactile Switches.
