'''Cherry MX Speed Silver''' is a linear variant of the [[Cherry MX]] switch, and is Cherry's official name. The RGB equivalent is [[Cherry MX Speed RGB Silver]].

==Description==
It has a shorter actuation distance than others at 1.2 mm for faster presses in gaming.
The total travel distance is also shorter at 3.4 mm.

The slider material contains metallic particles to give it a silvery appearance.

This switch is available in two variants:
* MX3A-51NN without pins
* MX3A-51NW with pins for PCB-mounting

The sides of the movable contact, that the slider engages, are lubricated.

==Key feel==
It has been reported to feel similar to a [[Cherry MX Red]] switch although some testers find that it is heavier

A Corsair representative has claimed that it uses the same springs as Cherry MX Red.
