Cherry MX Red RGB Low-Profile Switches
Cherry MX Low Profile RGB Red switches are built for speed in slim mechanical keyboards. A 1.2mm actuation point means the key registers well before a standard MX switch would, and the stroke is linear throughout, with no bump and no click. The reduced housing height allows a far slimmer keyboard than full-height switches permit.
Key Features:
- Linear action: smooth from the top of the stroke to bottom-out, with no tactile bump or audible click.
- Short 1.2mm actuation: keys register faster than the 2.0mm pre-travel of a standard MX Red.
- 35% lower housing: the reduced height is what makes a genuinely slim mechanical keyboard possible.
- Per-key RGB: designed around SMD LEDs mounted directly on the PCB for bright, even illumination.
- Light 45cN actuation force: easy on the fingers through a long gaming or typing session.

- Switch Type: Linear
- Actuation Force: 45cN
- Pre-Travel: 1.2mm

Before You Order
Cherry MX Low Profile switches are not pin-compatible with standard Cherry MX. They need a PCB built for low-profile switches, and they need low-profile keycaps — ordinary MX keycaps share the cross mount but will foul the wider housing or the plate before the key bottoms out. Check that your board is designed to take them.

What Linear means
Linear mechanical switches provide a smooth and consistent keystroke without tactile feedback or audible clicks. Ideal for fast typists and gamers, they offer quick and quiet keypresses for a seamless typing experience.

Low-profile switches use a shorter housing and a reduced travel distance to keep the keyboard slim. They are their own footprint entirely and are not interchangeable with standard MX switches or keycaps.

Creator: The Gaming Setup
This sound test was recorded and published by The Gaming Setup. We do not own this recording and claim no rights over it — full credit goes to the creator. It plays here through YouTube's own player so you can hear the switch before buying, and so the creator receives the view.
Bear in mind a sound test always reflects the keyboard, keycaps and mods it was recorded on, so the same switch can sound different in your own build.
