Frequently asked
Is the Cherry Firefinch a good switch for gaming?
Yes. It is a light, smooth linear with a clean, consistent keystroke and no tactile bump to slow rapid actuation, which suits fast-paced gaming as well as everyday typing.
Do the Cherry Firefinch switches need lubing?
They are usable out of the box thanks to Cherry's factory tuning, but a thin hand-lube on the rails and springs cleans up the last traces of stock scratch and deepens the sound, so it is worth doing on a board you care about.
How does the Firefinch sound compared to other Cherry linears?
It leans warm and muted rather than sharp or clacky, with a rounded bottom-out that pairs well with PBT keycaps and a gasket or foamed build.
