so clear switches are really white switches? I thought clear switches were literally clear or transparent. :/

They are more translucent than clear, really. Think iMac. In any case they're not solid white. Solid white ones existed back in the day, usually clicky. "Clear" might not be 100% accurate, but it's a lot shorter than "translucent" for sure.
