Quick-witted, smooth and direct
CHERRY MX LOW PROFILE RED
The CHERRY MX LOW PROFILE RGB RED has a particularly low overall height. The linear switching characteristic combined with the low spring resistance triggers directly. Thanks to the 35 percent lower height, the CHERRY LOW PROFILE RGB RED enables a slim keyboard design and ergonomic working. Thereby, it maintains the balanced typing feel of the CHERRY MX RED and helps to react quick-wittedly in gaming sessions.
Highlights
- Linear switching
- 45 cN operating force
- 1.2 mm pre travel
- 3.2 mm total travel
- > 100 mil. keystrokes
- No click
The Original
Inside CHERRY MX LOW PROFILE RGB RED
1 UPPER HOUSING
Upper Housing is a CAD high precision component made of plastic polymer. With a tolerance of less than 0.01 mm, the component guides the switching slide precisely, forming the CHERRY MX keyswitch’s switching mechanism housing.2 SWITCHING SLIDE / STEM
A CAD high-precision component made of plastic polymer specifically for the CHERRY MX creates the pre travel and the keystroke feel between the upper housing and coil spring. The key cap is attached on the upper part of the stem.3 GOLD CROSSPOINT CONTACT
Gold-based, the crosspoint contact is the heart of every CHERRY MX keyswitch and the basis of its incredible reliability and durability. With absolute precision, these triangular cross-contacts meet each other at precise right angles. This unique CHERRY innovation and ornate gold-plating make the electrical contact enclosure self-cleaning and gives the keyswitch permanent protection against corrosion, guaranteeing the keyswitch for more than 100 million operations.4 PRECISION COIL SPRING
The keyswitch’s coil spring pressure resistance is the CHERRY MX’s sparring partner for your fingers. The high-density molecular structure of the spring’s metal alloy is calculated individually on the keyswitch and consistently optimized for the keyswitch’s specific pressure force.5 HOUSING BASE
Dual-functional, the housing base component is made of plastic polymer and glass fibre. The inner part forms the mounting for the CHERRY MX keyswitch’s switching mechanism. The outer part is both the base and mounting surface for CHERRY’s mechanical keyboards.More about the original
