MX 8.2 TKL Xaga, which is quite the fancy board, indeed. The MX range is still getting a shake up though, with Cherry introducing a few new switches under the banner – The MX Honey, Blossom, and Falcon.Honeys are set to be the quiet kid in the new MX lineup featuring Cherry's first tactile MX switch that's also silent. Despite the silent nature these are said to still give a great tactile feel so this is a great choice for office goers, streamers, or just people who like quiet keyboards that still feel satisfying to use. It's me, I'm people.The MX Blossom is set to be the ultra light feel switch. There's some nice evocative imagery there of cherry blossom petals floating down, so I'm guessing that's the feel Cherry is going for here. These are going to be ultra light, easy to press, and quick to respond, so are probably aiming to be the preference for typists, and gamers who like a softer touch.Meanwhile the Falcon is the community-inspired switch, a bit like that beautiful northern lights set. This one is for gamers and keyboard users of all stripes who really want to know when that key has been pressed. I'm guessing rather like how a fish knows it's done for when a peregrine swoops in. These are snappy and crisp, these are bound to be a clacky retro switch. This is the keyboard you bring into the office when you just don't like your coworkers.All these switches are set to come out in June this year. If we don't get our hot little fingers on these bad bois at Computex, we'll be sure to let you know how they feel as soon as we do. Best gaming mouse: the top rodents for gaming
