Audio player loading… Mechanical keyboards are a pretty big staple for PC gamers in this day and age. We can’t get enough of those sometimes very clicky keys with actuation that just feels so much more certain than non mechanical variants. This is all thanks to the switches that sit under the keys, which come in all different variants and brands. There’s not really a bigger name when it comes specifically to key switches than Cherry MX, and the brands just launched a new official switch from a community based design.The Cherry MX Ergo Clear (opens in new tab) is…
