seen this on massdrop, fell in love with the form factor.
sadly, MD does not offer mx clears, even though they exist. been searching taobao for hours now, can't seem to be able to find clears. my inability to speak chinese might have to do with that. any of you guys care to help out? :)
-
yeah im in the same boat as you. Wanted it in tactile greys or clears but no dice.
My plan is to get the keyboard and just solder the switches out to whatever I want.
-
I would wait for another drop and get the one you want.
They offered tactile grey and clears last time they were up.
-
Mine came with clears, from the very first drop on MD. They do exist. :D
I only see Black, Red, Blue, Brown available on Taobao right now.

that is disappointing :(
i was hoping that out of the many entries on taobao, at least one would be with clears. i really love how the board is designed, very minimalistic , the "floating" keys are awesome.

Green / milk / gray / white axis customized version - isn't one of these clears? i thought "milk" was referring to clears?

skuko, YES, these are clears. Clears are called White switches in Chinese, and Cherry MX Whites are called Milk switches.
And the clears Varmillo price is only slightly higher than the average. (Grays, greens, whites are much more expensive.)
Good luck with your purchase!

Yeah, I think that's correct in this case. If you scroll down they have photos of the different switches with their Chinese names.
