Cherry MX Black Clear-Top "Nixie"
Here's the Ultimate Cherry MX Black Clear-Top Linear Switch Sound Test and Review. Also called the Cherry MX Nixie, this is a new version of a 1980s switch. I conducted detailed sound tests with GMK, MT3, and SA keycaps, comparing it with other popular switches in a controlled environment to provide a clear understanding of its acoustic profile on a full mechanical keyboard. In this video, I explore the switch's design, performance, and unique features.
