Cherry MX Classic Black (5pin)

CHERRY MX1A-1xxA/B
Models may vary from the image shown
High-precision MX keyswitch specially engineered for
RGB Multicolor Illumination
Black switch: Without pressure point, linear actuation –
switching function with a defined force of approx. 60 cN
without contact feedback.
A shining example: The new CHERRY MX RGB switch.
Globally pioneering technology for precision mechanical
keyswitches. Optimised for use with SMD LEDs, which make
the keyboard shine in all RGB colours with high luminosity.
Every key can be illuminated individually in a different color.
Engineered and Made in Germany.
Key benefits
• Black switch: Without pressure point, linear actuation –
switching function with a defined force of approx. 60 cN
without contact feedback
• MX switch variant optimised for use with SMD LEDs (RGB or
single colour)
• More consistent lighting throughout the keycap due to
optimised, transparent casing and scattering surface
including lens.
• Option to use all 16.7 million RGB colours in high luminosity
(scope of supply does not include LED)
• SMD LEDs directly mounted on the circuit board for
cost-efficient, fully automated production
• High-precision mechanical keyswitch based on the MX
standard
• World exclusive CHERRY Gold Crosspoint technology
• Short bounce time for high switching frequency (such as for
fast typing)
• Self-cleaning contacts, resistant to dust and dirt
• Over 100 million keystrokes / contact switches per
module with no loss of quality
• Engineered and Made in Germany.
