Overview

Cherry MX2A Nixie is a linear switch reviving a community favorite originally built for Nixdorf Computer AG keyboards in the 1980s, reissued under Cherry's MX2A line. It pairs nylon top and bottom housings with a POM stem and a gold-plated spring, recreating the heavier, textured character the original was known for.

It ships factory-lubed and uses the standard linear MX stem, with no tactile bump or click — a modern, consistency-focused take on a long-sought-after enthusiast classic.
