The MX Whites are similar to greens, by most accounts, though some claim that greens are nicer. I think the actuation force is around 70 cN, and they're tactile and clicky. Board seems cool. I may be interested for the right price.

The "click" is less loud, it's more like a "crock".
Keyboardco and conrad.de sells those switches

I always hated the non-standard caps on those. The esc was hard enough to find, now it seems they have added a couple of there special ones.

Great to see companies try other MX switches. They  might even have a large enough order to make ergo clears happen and make it a real thing if they wanted to. This wil probably bring down the prices of mx whites a bit too once it spreads.

Mine measured to be about 84 grams until click. Something like 12 nickels and 9 or 10 dimes (Depending on how well I centered the stack. Eccentric loading increases friction) I can post pictures.

The Whites are very nice. I wasn't aware that there was a supplier still. I thought Cherry was just keeping a small amount made to support the long-term POS/industrial/medical fields.
