Un-lubed Cherry MX2A Nixie Switches (10 Pack)

Sale price£4.50 GBP

Cherry MX2A “Nixie” Linear Switch – 10‑Pack

Brand Introduction

Cherry continues to be an icon in mechanical switch design, and the MX2A series is their refined modern update—featuring smoother housings, retooled springs, and factory lubrication. The "Nixie" variant is a nostalgic recreation of the original Cherry Black Clear‑Top switch beloved by enthusiasts.


Product Description

The Nixie offers a vintage aesthetic combined with contemporary precision. Built with nylon top and bottom housings and a POM stem, it features a gold-plated spring, a defined linear action (~63.5 g actuation) and a balanced ~80 g bottom-out resistance. Essentially: clean feel, nostalgic sound, and reliability.

This variant is unlubed from the factory, and only available occasionally so stock up while you can. 

Please note while these switches are unlubricated and don't go through the normal MX2A lubing cycle, you are likely to still notice some residue on the leaves and the the legs of the stem, this is the case for all unlubricated MX2A available in the market right now. While it doesn't affect the usage of the switch it is still something to be aware of.
