Editing Cherry M7 (section)

==Design==
The design of the switch changed a number of times throughout its lifetime. Some of the differences are shown below; it is assumed that the right-hand switch shown is the newer design.

The design can broadly be categorised into four styles:

;Style A
:Cherry branding on the near side of the slider (along the long side)
;Style B
:Cherry branding on the far side of the slider (along the long side), discrete retention prongs, and a "wall" around the slider set off by a 1 mm gap
;Style C
:Per M51-0131, with terminal numbers on the top, and the Cherry branding along the short side
;Style D
:Per Sandy's Sagem keyboard, with graphical Cherry branding
