I believe Qwerkeys had one in their switch tester. At least mine did.
I might still have one from there and one from MrInterface's GB.

7bit has plate-mount whites in stock.

I think I can help you with that, I'll have to double check but I'm fairly certain I had a few from 7bit left, just need to find them.

Nope. There's a difference in the stem or lubing. I've seen either hypothesis "confirmed" (don't ask me for links though).

Cherry's AMA said there was not any different lubing on whites if I recall correctly.

According to deskthority, the modern whites you'd be (theoretically) able to buy new would be functionally identical to MX green. Older whites are either very similar to blues or greens, depending on the age. It's a very perplexing switch to me. And the visual confusion with MX clear makes it that much worse.

They are definitely quieter than blues but lighter I'm not so sure, I didn't do a direct comparision, I mainly tried whites and greens side by side, blues I haven't really used much at all.

You can still get them via deskthority if you dont mind paying the cost and shipping fee.

I recently used the stacked nickels test to compare the activation weight needed for a bunch of MXs. The blue and brown switches were the lightest at 11 nickels. Next was the "ergo" clear at 12, the stock clear (and salmon Alps on my AEK) at 14, the green at 15, with the white coming in the heaviest at 16.

All of the Cherrys were not lubed (by me) or broken in. The Alps had been used for years before being retired.
