A tribute to the legendary Cherry Nixdorf switches from the 1980s – and Cherry's first real nod to the custom community. The milky-translucent clear-top housing combined with the black bottom and a signature golden spring gives the switch an unmistakable look with genuine retro character. Sound-wise the Nixies deliver a deep, composed bottom-out and a slightly lighter, brighter topping-out – the force curve closely mirrors the MX Black but feels noticeably less scratchy, with minimal wobble and virtually no spring ping. In the unlubed variant, it's the perfect pick for anyone who wants to tune a historically significant switch themselves and build it into their own setup.

Variant: 10pcs Unlubed
