Proper keyboard shops don't exist. Not in DC. So... I own a Cherry Mx blue keyboard and have used a Cherry Mx brown board. I've felt reds, too.
Can someone describe clears, in terms of the switches I _have_ tried? Thanks.

clears are like better browns. you already have a realforce so quick screwing around with cherry MX.
-
They are browns with a larger tactile bump and a higher actuation force
-
mx clear give me a reason to wake up in the morning and be the best person I can possibly be.
life started with mx clear.

I wonder if CM are going to do a QFR with clears, in the wake of the QFRG.

Do you think clears would be good for gaming? I know everything is personal preference but from what I hear, linear switches work better.

i game with ergo clears, diablo3

Regular clears are very heavy compared to browns, reds and blues. A lot of people (including myself) will usually change the spring for a lighter switch aka ergo clears.

So they are like blacks with a bump?
-
heavier than black spring

You could probably put a black spring into a clear to effectively get a black with a bump.
If that is your thing.

Just keep in mind that although heavier springs make the overall keys feel heavier, they do slightly take away from the tactile bump. For example, a normal clear switch feels heavy with a small bump, but if you mod it to ergo-clear by using a mx red/blue/brown spring, it will make the switch lighter, but accentuate the tactile bump more. In other words, the bump is more noticeable with a lighter spring than it would be with a heavier spring, even though the same exact stems are used. This goes the same with mx blue and green switches.

I use these (Panda-Clears) in my main Poker.
