Cherry MX Guide and Specifications How to Install / Swap Cherry MX Switch Video NOTE: These switches are packed in bulk with 250 to 400 pieces at a time. Because of this, some of the pins may not be perfect (slightly bent), which you would simply have to bend back (gently) in place before installation. We recommend using a needle nose tool and slowly bending it back in place. Like any pin, these can be damaged if not handled carefully. As per our policies, any damage goods during the modding process is not refundable. Cherry has been producing the MX switch since the 1980's and even to this day, is considered the standard for mechanical switches.
