Found this under the spacebar on a Chicony board today. I think it is better we leave the ancient Cherry days untouched. This is slowly but surely becoming just as confusing as ALPS. But now without further complaining, I present you.... the MX Sky Blue switch




Different slider, different stem, different spring.
Feels like a green, spring looks like a green one too. Probably what became the MX Green switch later on.

oh gosh, not again... I was happy in the days when the known Cherry switches had the colours Red, Black, Brown, Clear and Blue + the corresponding spacebar types. Then the original whites were easily distinguishable from Clears, and everything was nice and easy.

The skyblue switch is with the smaller Cherry logo, so maybe a not so old variant?
I should ask my supplier to order 1000 switches of all thinkable product numbers, to see what else they have and maybe still produce!

Just need someone who financiates this.

ps: In the 2nd photo, it looks like a clearblue switch!!!

The color of the top part is the same i pmed you about a while back

"Sky blue"?
Isn't that rather "Royal blue"?

Just want to make things a bit easier

yes quality sucks
edit: applied filter..
Edit2: left regular, right chicony

I was wrong in my other post!

The smaller variant is the older, right?

This is yet another variant. Sixty's has got a black thingy in it (what is it called?), while your's is black.

You must both meet and compare!

Hey, this turns out to be more interesting than collecting stamps!

So there's a clearsky and a thunderous-sky?
Where clearsky has a small logo, and spring with less loops (so shorter, guessing stiffer?).

In b4 Ripster comes on claiming that anything that he didn't discover is irrelevant nitpicking.

The 'McNitpick' effect

Once in Blue Moon...

I saw you standing there.. Without a care... blue Moon...

Oh, and the SHAPE of the bottom of the slider is irrelevant.

I once cut the bottom dimple out of a MX switch to confirm this.

Spring coil count and thickness are really the only significant variables..
