Cherry MX2A Red

Switches · Linear · 45 g · MX · 10 per pack

Cherry's 2023 refresh of the classic MX Red light linear. It adds factory lube, a barrel spring and tighter guidance ribs, so it's much less scratchy than the MX1A original.

Some specs from reviews or retailers · sources

Cherry makes MX2A both as plate-mount (3-pin) and PCB-mount (5-pin). Enthusiast retail packs of the Brown/Black are 5-pin (Divinikey, MechMods), so we assume the Red is too. Check the pins per listing. Cherry's page gives 45 cN operating and a '100 cN final force' that doesn't match a real bottom-out, so we omit bottom-out. No official retail price was found, so there's no msrp; packSize 10 is a placeholder. The 'clacky' tag is subjective.
