Completed the correction of the known models I need.

There are many factors that affect the performance of the switch. I believe that even if you compare a NOS switch of the 1980s with a new switch, there are differences.
During my collection research, I found that even the switches on the same keyboard have slight differences in their springs, which ...

Yes, I also think they are Hirose M8 switches, unfortunately the owner has lost them...

I bought too many things, I can't put anything in my house anymore. so I am going to sell some of them. They are basically my original price or lower at the time of purchase, I don't want to make money.

I guess the grey switch is the alt.action switch, right?

Those caps are also made by Cherry but some of them have a weird top, I wonder why those are different.

I would wager that they are key caps that light up and are made of translucent plastic. It would be a dashboard, of sorts.

That's an interesting thought. I hope that the buyer is on dt and ...

Can I ask questions here? Who has bought this keyboard?

As for MX-Alps Clicky and Linear, Most news about it shows that it is related to Taiwan. Cherry does have distributors in Taiwan-Greendich. I have contacted Greendich but have not responded.

MX Alps Clicky is my Ultra Rare 'Pink' Unicorn extravaganza :shock: .

If they do exist and you could get ...

oh wow this is a really impressive collection. Do you have any more information about the mx with alps sliders?
As for MX-Alps Clear, Its authenticity is unknown. I got it from a second-hand electronic seller. Someone told he had seen this switch on a cherry keyboard, but the news is not supported ...

If there are any past KBC forum players who can see this post, pls contact me. Thank you.

Such an impressive Cherry collection. Hard to imagine there is a bigger Cherry collector anywhere!

OH MY GAWD :shock:

You are the current KING of Cherry switch collecting. Have not seen anyone else on Planet Earth that even comes close to your collection.

So why are you so addicted to the Cherry MX design?

I only really like the Kailh BOX design (Click) but you seem way over board on all ...

Sir, your Cherry collection is a peach!

That red shell is indeed an eye catcher. Cherry really ought to make some $bank and sell those. But the obsessive array of variations are what makes this set so spectacular. Very nicely done.
Thank you.
those red housing just is a single shell without ...

But what is that red MX housing ? That looks very cool!

Michael in Cherry.de said: "the red housings have just been made for internal testing’s from our engineers.They have been made in 2013 I would guess …"

There are some switches known but I don't have, I have been looking for them:

I am curious what switch is used on that keyboard you have.

Muirium wrote: Those caps! That font! Are these Helvetica doubleshots? Knew someone did it right, back in the day! Never realised it would be Cherry!

Yes,Except for the key cap of the M4 switch, the others are doubleshots. I am sorry that I forgot to mention it. My focus is often on those switches on the keyboard.

HeyGuys. I won it from the eBay auction, sorry, this is a set of not so good photos.Yes, my photos are as sucks as ever...

Wow! Can you tell me the model number of this keyboard?

GEEZ! :shock: That's really enviable! I cant imagine what I missed... :o
It seems that most of those switches are M61-0120. Is there a different switch in them? Heavier or lighter, at least they look the same. In gerneral, Shift and the others special keys should using some special switches. but I ...

Awesome!is there any keyboards using cherry switches?

This may be useful. Contact the seller to be sure you're getting the right kind.
