Brand : Cherry Switch Mount : 5-pin (PCB Mount) Switch Type : Linear Bottom Out Force : 80g Actuation Force : 63.5g Actuation Travel : 2mm Total Travel : 4mm Top Housing : Special Material - Milky White Stem : POM - Black Bottom Housing : Nylon - Black Lube : Unlubed (No Factory Lube) The Cherry “Nixie” linear switch is one of the most sought-after vintage switches in the aftermarket for their smoothness and deep, “thocky” sound profile, but it is also very hard to come by. Thankfully, Cherry is reviving the legendary switch with the Cherry MX Black Clear-Top – a rather confusing name, given that it actually has a milky top housing. Nonetheless, Cherry says that the MX Black Clear-Top retains the characteristics of the original Nixie switch with “modern production optimisations.” This should translate to good quality control to ensure there’s no huge inconsistency between different switches.
