Cherry MX blue variant identification

[alinh]

Hello,

Need some help with identifying some cherry mx blue switches.

These came off a NTC KB-6252CH that I got from lowpoly a while ago

The stem color is a a bit lighter and the switch also feels lighter and less clicky than normal MX blue (just old age?)

The cherry logo is also different from the one on current switches and there is no "cut" in the stem (see last pic)









DanielT (who spent more time than me analyzing different variants of Cherrys) said the logo doesn't look like any he saw so far.

The wiki doesn't list the CH model so no info there.

[7bit]

Does not look unusual to me, just the blue has been faded where the sun came through.

"If the stem doesn't have the "tooth" in the crossbar, it's almost certainly the old type, that makes quiet click" fits the description.
