Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 5 (Xinhua)-- Cherry officially announced a new launch of the CHERRY MX Black Clear-Top mechanical shaft, a prototype of the shaft that has been known as "Nixie" in the community since the 1980s.

CTOnews.com found that "Nixie" is actually a familiar derivative of the CHERRY MX black axis, and the trigger pressure has slightly increased from the 60cN of the MX black axis to 63.5cN compared to the original version with a milky top cover.

According to CHERRY officials, the "Nixie" was a shaft body tailored for Nixdorf computer AG at that time, but it was produced only a few years ago, and the quantity is very rare. It is mainly installed in the Nixdorf CT06-CT07/2 M Softkeys keyboard to connect minicomputers, servers and terminals.

CHERRY announced that it will respond to you through MX Black Clear-Top. The new MX Black Clear-Top, optimized for "Nixie" manufacturing processes and materials, is produced by CHERRY's Auerbach plant in Germany, and the shaft body, which contains both factory-run and unmoistened versions, is expected to be available worldwide in early 2023.

In order to pay homage to this legendary shaft, CHERRY has ensured that the MX Black Clear-Top is as close to the original as possible in the process of research and development and production, not only retaining the familiar milky white upper cover and black lower cover, black shaft, but also integrating various manufacturing optimization methods accumulated since the 1980s, raising the shaft to the leading manufacturing level in the modern industry.

As the original signature structure of the MX shaft body, the Golden Cross contact technology combines two contacts with a thick gold coating firmly through precision technology and conductive pads, and with the help of the specific shape of the contacts to ensure that they are less than the jitter delay of the 1ms signal, resulting in ultra-fast response speed and reliable and accurate triggers. Each MX Black Clear-Top shaft has a life span of more than 50 million times without losing input quality.

From the parameter point of view, MX Black Clear-Top is a linear axis, that is, straight up and down feel, the trigger pressure can reach 63.5cN, trigger stroke 2mm, total stroke 4mm.

In addition, its spring also maintains a retro design and is made of gold-plated stainless steel, which is relatively more suitable for retro lovers, frequent typists, gamers and users who require high keyboard sound and smoothness.

It is worth mentioning that CHERRY MX Black Clear-Top only offers a five-pin version with PCB positioning feet, but at the same time, the shaft body is available in factory run and unmoistened versions.

Officials say the lubrication version uses an automated production line and uses high-quality grease to ensure smoother keying and better shaft sound without affecting the input experience. It is an option for players who do not want to DIY, while Cherry also offers an unmoistened version to facilitate enthusiasts to modify the shaft body on their own.
