Cherry MX Yellow Switches are Fake

From Cherry:

On different websites appearing images of CHERRY MX YELLOW switches, some are even offering them for sale. But these switches are not officially made by CHERRY and should be considered as fakes or partial fakes.

Herewith the CHERRY GmbH officially comments on the swtiches of the variant „CHERRY MX YELLOW“: These switches were not and are not produced by CHERRY. Currently there are no plans to release such a variant. Presumably, these are copies of other manufacturers using the popular brand of „CHERRY MX“ to boost their sales. Unfortunately we do not know where these stems exactly come from, but they were also not manufactured by CHERRY. However, the housing is made by CHERRY, probably the MX BLACK housing was used. But the actual stem was removed and replaced with fakes.

This opinion is based on the fact that CHERRY has already received several inquiries from the media and from customers who are interested in these allegedly CHERRY MX YELLOW switches. If you want to make sure which CHERRY key modules we actually offer, please follow this link to our overview on our official website.
