Highest price is 90 cents each. http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/e ... -ND/280855

Arrow has Cherry switches as low as 16 cents each. https://www.arrow.com/en/products/mx1a-11nn/cherry

The minimum Arrow price I see is $ 0.5 each switch (for 50 piece pack). That is a far cry from $ 0.16.

Anyway, Gaterons and Alps are available for much smaller price than Cherry (for people who do not insist on Cherry). Well, Alps are not that useful since it is pain to find keycaps for them. But Gaterons work with Cherry keycaps.

Uff, minimum order of 48000 is bit useless to me. I guess most people are interested in quantities of about 100.

Anyway, 7bit was selling all kinds of CherryMX switches for about 0.65 € a piece. Maybe he still sells them.
