A smooth Cherry switch with a heavier actuation force, this is a great alternative to Cherry MX Red switches for those who want more feedback while typing, while still maintaining a smooth keystroke.
The Cherry MX Black switch features a similar downstroke feel as a Cherry MX Red, with a stiffer spring for more feedback while typing and a smaller chance of completely bottoming out the switch. It has a 60g actuation force, with a 4mm bottom out. Lubrication of this switch with Krytox 205 grade 0 is recommended for a smoother keystroke. Tested for more than 100 million keystrokes.
