A limited-edition, factory-pre‑lubed linear switch from CHERRY's MX2A platform. Can't guarantee we can get this in again so if you like the vibe...
Manufacturer Introduction
Cherry, soundly trusted by keyboard enthusiasts since 1953, collaborated with Xtrfy's engineering team to launch the MX2A platform's most refined switch yet. The Northern Light embodies polished engineering and premium materials, built in Germany with community-driven design.
Product Description
The Northern Light switch brings sublime silence and ultra-smooth key feel. Cherry’s polish-tech top housing and noise-dampened barrel spring create an almost whisper-quiet operation. The translucent top housing enhances RGB diffusion, while the fiberglass-reinforced blue bottom adds a striking visual finish. With gold crosspoint contacts and an upgraded MX2A stem design, it’s the silent switch we always wanted Cherry to make.
