At Computex 2025, CHERRY prepares four new switches, starting with the debut of the IK inductive switch series and the introduction of three new mechanical switches based on the MX platform: MX Honey, MX Blossom, and MX Falcon. The CHERRY IK analog switch uses electromagnetic induction to detect key presses without physical contact between parts. This contactless design eliminates wear while using 50% less power than magnetic switches and 95% less than Hall effect switches. The IK switches will be available this Fall.

Next we have CHERRY's MX Honey, their first silent tactile MX switch, built on the updated MX2A platform. It gives noticeable tactile feedback without the usual noise, thanks to a redesigned spring and factory lubrication. The switch is rated for over 100 million key presses, with availability starting in June 2025, while 36-switch consumer kits will follow.The MX Blossom is CHERRY's lightest linear switch with just 35 cN actuation force offering a smooth typing experience with minimal resistance. This design gives users speed and comfort, making it ideal for those who want responsive keys with minimal typing effort. Availability starts in June 2025, with consumer switch kits coming soon.For those who prefer stronger feedback, the CHERRY MX Falcon features a heavy tactile design with a long-pole stem that creates a more pronounced keystroke feel and distinctive sound profile. CHERRY says it is a community-inspired switch with a sharper bottom-out experience that recalls classic typewriter responsiveness while maintaining modern performance standards and MX keycap compatibility. The CHERRY MX Falcon will be ready early June. For consumers, 36-switch kits will be coming shortly after.Editor's note: We hope to find more technical details after we visit CHERRY's booth
