According to Cherry, the new MX Speed switch is the fastest Cherry switch ever created and has an actuation poin of just 1.2 millimeter, resulting in both extremely short travel and low activation force of 45cN. The new MX Speed switch also comes with Gold-Crosspoint contact technology and offers a low bounce time of less than one millisecond as well as high durability of over 50 million keystrokes.

Cherry noted that new MX Speed switches are suitable for both gamers as well as fast and frequent typists at the office or at home, since these will be available with both transparent RGB covers as well as standard covers.
