Could anyone tell please me which keyboards come with MX Clears? Are there any Cherry branded keyboards that come with Clears?
-
Clears or ergo clears?
You can get a ducky full size with clears from mechanicalkeyboards.com
And you can get the FC660M with clears from qtan.
I think at one time their was a leopold with clears and I've seen some oni boards with clears on taobao.
I'm sure there are more.
But ergo clears is custom modding of a clear switch they don't make those factory.
-
Some older boards will, nothing new that I know of. Nothing will come with "Ergo-Clears" from the factory as that's a custom mod. You might be able to find someone selling an ergo-clear modded board on here at some point however. Check eBay, just type in Cherry MX Clear and see what pops up every now and then.

No keyboard on the market comes with ergo-clears.
-
Oh, are Ergo's custom? I guess Clears then?

Curses, you beat me to it!

Some of the SkiData boards (available used on eBay.de) had MX Clears.
-
The WASD v2 will be available with Clears.

What is the cheapest way to source clear switches then?
-
Thanks for all the info, imma mx clear nub.
-
I heard cherry would consider making clears with lighter springs if they got a large enough order.

That will be a special edition with white plate and non customizable key caps called the 'code', I believe.

It probably depends on how many you want/need.
And if you care if they are new and/or used. You could buy a cheap board with clears if you can find it and desolder them.
You can get them from 7bit's group buy on DT, there was recently a groub buy on here for clears and some vendors sell them mouser, rapid etc.

And the stem would be purple/dark pinkish I think. :o

Buy old keyboards that have MX Clears in them. I missed out on buying an old Cherry board that had Clears. It was going for like $45 in the classifieds.
