CHERRY will be opening a bold new chapter at COMPUTEX 2025, a leading computer technology trade show held annually in Taipei. The company will debut its IK inductive switch, a preview of the MK magnetic switch platform, and the latest additions to its legendary MX mechanical switch family, MX Honey, MX Blossom, and MX Falcon.
Each product has been meticulously designed to address specific user needs, combining CHERRY’s industry-leading engineering with a renewed focus on performance, efficiency, and customization. This milestone product launch marks CHERRY’s evolution from a mechanical switch pioneer to a multi-technology input solutions innovator. Building on decades of precision design expertise, CHERRY is redefining switch technology through magnetic actuation, inductive sensing, and analog intelligence.
Product Highlights:
CHERRY IK – designed for the future
The IK is a next-generation analog switch built on CHERRY’s patented inductive sensing technology, enabling true contactless actuation through electromagnetic field detection. The result is smooth, consistent performance with no mechanical wear, even after millions of keystrokes.
Engineered for modern efficiency, IK consumes 50% less power than magnetic switches and only 5% of the power used by Hall effect switches, making it ideal for wireless keyboards where battery life is essential.
Unlike Hall switches that rely on magnets and complex sensor arrays, IK features a robust, magnet- free metal-based design for enhanced reliability, analog precision, and long-term stability. Enhanced RGB lighting, customizable actuation, and ultra-low power usage makes it a new benchmark in smart input solutions.
Availability: Fall 2025
CHERRY MX Honey – sweet and silent
The MX Honey is CHERRY’s first silent tactile MX switch, engineered to deliver a satisfying tactile response with reduced noise, making it perfect for offices, shared workspaces, and quiet environments.
As part of the new MX2A family, the MX Honey features CHERRY’s latest mechanical upgrades, including a newly optimized spring and factory-applied premium lubrication, ensuring smoother keystrokes, softer acoustics, and over 100 million keystrokes of durability.
Availability: Starting June 2025
36-switch consumer kits to follow.
CHERRY MX Blossom – effortless precision
To celebrate its 72nd anniversary, CHERRY introduces its lightest linear mechanical switch ever: the MX Blossom. With an actuation force of just 35 cN, it offers an ultra-light typing experience that sets a new standard in effortless control.
Also part of the MX2A series, the MX Blossom features CHERRY’s latest mechanical improvements, delivering smoother and quieter key presses, ideal for users who prefer speed, responsiveness, and comfort.
Availability: June 2025
Consumer switch kits are coming soon.
CHERRY MX Falcon – power you can feel
CHERRY wraps up its latest switch lineup with the MX Falcon – a community-inspired tactile switch built for heavy typists and enthusiasts who crave bold feedback. Inspired by retro design and the crisp snap of typewriters, it delivers a strong tactile feel with every press.
As CHERRY’s first long-pole stem switch, it offers a sharper bottom-out and richer sound. Its playful, ’90s-inspired colorway blends nostalgic design with high-performance precision.
The CHERRY MX Falcon will be ready early June. For consumers, 36-switch kits will be coming shortly after.
