Frequently asked
How heavy is the Cherry MX Grey 80g?
It actuates at a firm 80g, with the peak force landing right at the actuation point thanks to Cherry's tactile design. That makes it one of the heaviest mainstream MX tactiles and a deliberate step up from everyday browns or clears.
Is the Cherry MX Grey good for gaming?
It can be, but the release point sits above the actuation point, which can make fast double-taps feel slightly off if you're used to lighter or linear switches. Typists tend to get along with it better than competitive gamers.
Does the Cherry MX Grey 80g need lubing?
It's perfectly usable stock, but a light hand-lube on the rails and springs smooths out the typical Cherry rasp and tames spring ping without softening the bump.
