Cherry MX Northern Light switches are here to shine

CHERRY just released their smoothest typing switch ever — the MX Northern Light. The company created this special-edition linear switch based on keyboard community feedback.

The new switch features a polished top housing paired with a unique blue bottom, giving typists an ultra-smooth experience. Joakim Jansson from CHERRY said they made their most refined linear switch specifically for the community that inspired it.

CHERRY XTRFY also announced a limited-edition bundle combining their K5V2 compact keyboard with these new switches, custom PBT keycaps, and a matching GP6 Northern Light XL mousepad. The aurora-inspired design aims to attract enthusiasts looking for both performance and style.

The MX Northern Light delivers quiet, dampened keystrokes with a creamy sound profile. It includes factory-applied lubricant, noise-reducing barrel springs, and improved stem geometry for smoother actuation — all part of their latest MX2A technology.

Built with Gold Crosspoint technology, these switches last over 50 million keystrokes with less than 1 millisecond bounce time. The 36-switch pack costs $29.99 and is available globally through cherryxtrfy.com or cherry.de in Europe. It targets keyboard enthusiasts who want premium mechanical switches.
