How about Ultra-rare Clears?

Those are only available through WASD. They cannot be resold, because then you're selling regular clears. They're only ultra-rare clears when WASD sells them.

Yellow one isn't made by Cherry it's a linear Chinese clone. Essentially the exact same as a Cherry.

Tho the picture shows yet another version, but perhaps it's the stem of a clone put in a Cherry housing?

Could be, though would have to be confirmed with Cherry. They do have a question form on their page.

Yellow does not appear ever on any MX datasheet I have seen. I also believe those are yellow stems from Kailh MX copies. Though the Alps mount don't have any listing in the official MX datasheets either.

The most obscure or difficult ones to find in my experience (since I still have zero) Super blue 160cN which are a dark navy blue color, clicky grey 105cN, orange which are basically red with a tiny keymount that is incompatible with MX caps.
My favorite uncommon MX switches I have in my collection are my linear white/clear type. Those are a little lighter feeling than blacks, but heavier than red. I could probably part with a couple.
I also have a bunch of what I think are M9 switch if you are interested in those.

It makes me wonder....if someone was able to produce switch housing, maybe he would be able to produce the stems :P Violet or toxic green clicky stems with black springs :) One can only dream probably :P

I have a linear white coming and I think a buddy's getting super blues? Not sure on the board.

He doesn't sell them without the boards though, just the blacks with the clear tops, I wanted some, too. Don't want to hijack or threadcrap but if sb. has some more linear whites with clear tops, contact me via PM, I'm interested.

well, yes, he sells the pcb as a whole, so you will be getting one clear top linear white. if you just want that single white, it might not be worth it..but for what you are getting that nixdorf pcb is an amazing deal
