Ah, the infamous teal / dark-blues. Very nice.

According to sixty, the click collar doesn't move. However, there are no further details about that as to why it doesn't move. The small bump on the slider is supposed to indicate a switch with movement differential (hysteresis), which implies that it must be a clicky switch; as such, one has to wonder if the click collars are jammed.

yab's first picture is confusing as it's not clear where it came from and who wrote that. They give 1983 as the year of introduction for MX, while we have 1984. However, most of the Cherry information on the wiki is not traceable back to any source, so it's hard to tell whether it's genuine or not.

I suspect that we won't know for sure until we turn up more Cherry catalogues.

If the slider doesn't move I guess it would feel the same as the Jailhouse Blues mod, where you deliberately jam the slider from moving upwards again in order to lower the total travel of the stem, and thus create a higher actuation point (<1mm compared to ~2mm)
