ProWorld Cherry MX clone is a clone of the Cherry MX switch from an unknown manufacturer. The switch bears the branding "PROWORLD".

Description

The switch is similar in appearance to the Cherry MX Black, but the mechanism is clicky. The shell lacks the LED recess found in real MX switches and most clones. Instead of a regular Cherry MX-type click jacket, these switches use a leaf spring to generate tactility and auditory feedback, similar to the system used in Alps SKCL/SKCM switches.

These switches have been found also in the same keyboard with the click leaf removed therefore making the switch linear rather than clicky.
