German high-end engineering meets exceptional design is CHERRY. Manufacturing of the first micro-switches began in 1953 in the cellar of an Illinois restaurant. 20 years later, the first keyboards were born, making CHERRY the oldest manufacturer of computer keyboards. In 1983 began production of MX switches, which have since been used billions of times on millions of keyboards worldwide. Decades of experience, passion and tradition make the cherry brand what it stands for today: Quality products designed in Germany for anyone who wants the performance, design, durability and functionality of their peripherals to meet their high requirements. The MX BLACK CLEAR TOP is the perfect switch for retro fans, people who do a lot of typing, gamers and anyone who values linear switching characteristics as well as good click-free acoustics. In addition to the opaque upper part of the housing, this switch is also characterized by a golden spring and a slightly higher actuating force. More than 50 million key operations are no problem. 23 switches per box allow keyboard lovers to order only the required quantity per format (Full-size, TKL, 60%, ...). The switches are well fixed in the box, which prevents the contact pins from deforming. In addition, packaging only in cardboard helps reduce the amount of waste.
