If you want to hear PC gamers get really particular, ask them about what switches they prefer in their keyboards. Some will go all in on clacky actuation punchers while others may prefer a lighter, softer approach. Those little pieces of engineering that sit between our fingers and the gaming world can make all the difference in dictating how we experience our fictional on screen universes. One of the best in the business of switches is about to give us a whole new option to try out, with Cherry's new special edition MX Northern Light.
Cherry has been responsible for making many a gamer's favourite key switch since way back when mechanical keyboards were mere mythic beasts, owned by only the most serious and cashed up of the PC gaming cohort. The brand is so steadfast that its switches act as a reference point when referring to all others. These new MX Northern Light Switches are said to be a "love letter" from Cherry to the keyboard community, so my fingers are practically itching to try them.
