mutedFrequently asked
How heavy is the Cherry MX2A Black?
It actuates at 60g, making it one of the heavier mainstream linears. The weight gives a firm, deliberate keystroke that resists accidental presses, which is why it has long been a favorite for gaming and heavy-handed typists.
Is the MX2A Black smoother than the old MX Black?
Yes. The MX2A redesign adds factory ring lubrication, a diamond-polished stem, and updated spring guidance, so out-of-the-box smoothness is a clear step up from the legacy MX Black.
Does the Cherry MX2A Black need lubing?
Not necessarily. It ships pre-lubed and feels good stock, but a light hand lube on the rails and springs will eliminate the last traces of scratch and spring ping if you want a premium result.
