This Cherry switch (model "Black Clear-Top", also known as "Nixie") is a reissue of a classic from the 1980s. With its milky top ("clear-top"), black bottom, and gold-colored spring, it combines retro looks with modern manufacturing. Its linear, silent action, combined with high-quality German craftsmanship, makes it appealing to both typing enthusiasts and gamers.
