'''Hirose Cherry MX Clear''' is a linear Cherry MX switch from Hirose. Little is known about these switches and more than one version may exist, as they have been used for both normal keys and as a space bar switch. In the latter case, it was used as the space bar switch alongside [[Hirose Cherry MX Orange]], on the [[NCR F020]]. Hirose Cherry MX Clear is not Cherry MX mount, although it will accept Cherry MX mount keycaps; the reverse is not true.

The switch may bear either the Cherry logo, or the inscription '''HCP''' for Hirose Cherry Precision; both versions can be found on the same keyboard.<ref name="MF-M243EX.htm" />
