Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear is a tactile mechanical switch from Cherry with a 40 gf operating force and 2 mm pre-travel and 4 mm total travel.
Three focused profiles from published switch specifications. No overall score is generated because feel and use case are personal.
Measures actuation, travel, and force. Shorter, lighter movement favors speed. Advanced input features add capability.
Measures bump or click intensity. It uses feel type and tactile-force rise. Higher scores mean stronger feedback.
Measures published lifespan evidence. It uses documented construction details. It does not predict real-world reliability.

Editor's Note: CHERRY made the community-created Ergo Clear an official switch in October 2022. The current catalog listing is the MX2A version, but CHERRY does not publish a separate exact transition date for that update. Its current properties are 35 gf initial force, 40 gf actuation, 70 gf final force, 2.0 mm pre-travel and 4.0 mm total travel, with factory-applied high-performance grease comparable to KRYTOX GPL 205 Grade 0.

The Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear is a Mechanical switch from Cherry with a Tactile feel, so its keypress character is primarily defined by that mechanism and feedback style.
The Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear has an operating force of 40 gf. That is a light switch feel suited to users who prefer easy keypresses.
The Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear has a pre-travel of 2.00 mm. Shorter actuation distances usually feel quicker because the key registers earlier in the press.
The Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear has a total travel distance of 4.00 mm. Total travel describes the full stroke from rest to bottom-out.
The Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear lists tactile force: 55 gf. These specs describe how noticeable the bump or click feels during a keypress.
The Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear is listed as 5-pin, MX keycap compatibility is unknown, and hot-swap compatibility is unknown. Always match the switch pins and keyboard PCB/socket before buying.
Yes. The Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear is listed as factory lubed. Factory lubrication can affect out-of-box smoothness and sound, but its effect can vary with the keyboard build and keycaps.
The Cherry MX2A Ergo Clear lists top housing: Plastic polymer, bottom housing: Plastic polymer / glass-fibre composite, stem: Plastic polymer, contact: MX Gold Crosspoint. These parts influence feel, sound, wobble, and long-term switch consistency.
