Overview

Cherry MX Vintage Blacks have a distinctive acoustic character — a soft, scratchy rustle comparable to the sound of dry autumn leaves. Quieter than modern MX blacks, they retain a classic Cherry clack but with a gentler, more textured presentation. Their sound and feel carry an organic inconsistency that many enthusiasts seek.

Cherry MX Vintage Browns are among the most refined switches in the Cherry lineup. They deliver a full, consistent feel with a classic vintage Cherry sound signature, free of leaf ticking and defined by a clean, dependable bottom-out. Their tactility is smooth and composed, with a natural cohesion that modern Browns rarely replicate. Very limited quantity.

Lubing Details

Switches are lubed with a light, even coat of your selected lubricant by default. You may request a medium or heavy coat of lube in the cart notes.

Lube application method varies by switch type. Listed below are the default lubing methods:

Linear switches
- Stems are completely lubed
- Front leaf contact points are lubed
Tactile switches
- Stems are completely lubed apart from the legs (unlubed to preserve tactility)
- Back of the leaf is lubed to reduce ticking
Clicky switches
- Stems are left unlubed to preserve the clicky sound
- Back of the leaf is lubed to reduce ticking

If you have any other special requests regarding modifications, please specify in the cart notes and we will do our best to accommodate.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Vintage Cherry MX switches are used units. Due to age, condition and batch variation, differences in sound and feel may occur. For new options, please explore our selection of modded HyperGlide and MX2A series.
  • All switches are cleanly desoldered and fit into hotswap sockets without issue.
  • Any stock factory lubricant is fully removed, and switches are ultrasonic cleaned prior to modding.
  • Vintage MX Browns include diodes. Diodes are removed during cleaning by default. If you wish to keep them intact or set aside, please specify in cart notes.
  • Vintage Cherry MX switches are no longer in production. Only the MX2A lineup remains in active production. Once stock is exhausted, it cannot be replenished.
