So these are a lot stiffer then blacks correct?

Also a question about the DT wiki, are blacks (60cN) really stiffer then clears (55cN)? Are these numbers accurate? Because I use both and was under the impression that clears were definitly the stiffer of the two. Or is that just caused by the tactile bump?

These grey are 80cN so they are noticeably more force than blacks. Clears are 65cN, ergo clear could be 55cN, maybe whoever edit the wiki f*cked it up?

Aren't there 2 variant springs to MX Clears? I remember the heavier one being 80-105cN or something like that?

Differences comes from some measuring actuation, and some measuring bottom out forces. There could possibly be a super clear variant I suppose though I have never seen a part number to indicate so, but it wouldn't be anything common.

There is a 105cN clicky grey too, known as grey36 or MX1AB1N*, but it is quite rare.

This one linear is grey37 or MX1A21N* which by the way are these with or without pin for PCB/plate mount?

Where are you sourcing these? Perhaps you can also ask for more popular switch colors? Clear, white, red, and blue switches are the most popular ones according to the GH60 GB orders. Both greys and black were the least ordered switches.

Will look into it, this was just an opportunity I jumped on. Will see if I can get some clicky grey and the more popular switches

Just post a link to your Google form in this thread. If a mod gets mad about it, then they should have approved your GB thread...
