Cherry MX Emerald Reef Switch Review

Hey all,
 
In an unprecedented fashion from what I can remember, I'm back with a second silent tactile switch review in a row. However, these just aren't any switch - they're the newest Cherry C-Lab designed switch featuring a new spring, a new platform that hasn't yet been received worldwide, and even improved factory lubing. Trust me when I say that the Cherry MX Emerald Reefs aren't just your average Cherry switch...

As always, thank you all for the continued readership and support each and every month. As I share at the top end of this article, it has been a rather crazy couple of weeks in between this review and the last one and knowing you all would be excited by these switches and their performance really helped me power through this one!

Cheers,
Goat

Thanks for this, I have been curious about silent tactiles for a while. My office board still has regular Cherry Browns in it, and by late afternoon the clicking from my own typing starts to wear on me. The new spring and the C-Lab work sound like a real step up from the older Cherry silents I tried years ago. I am tempted to buy a small pack to try in just the alphas first, before I commit to a full set.
