CHERRY MX RGB Blue Tactile Click Plate Mount Switch

CHERRY MX RGB Blue Tactile Click Plate Mount Switch - MX1A-E1NA

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

• Blue switch: Click pressure point, key stroke with tactile and audible 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 50 million keystrokes / contact switches per module with no loss of quality
• Engineered and Made in Germany.
