Anybody know a source for keyboards with Clear Cherrys or just the key switches alone? I have Black and Brown on the way via Filco 'boards, and Blue via Das 3. I've thought that the Blue was a little light for me but I'm used to it now.

Most places selling switches seem to have a very limited selection. Perhaps I should be looking for some Alps keyboards too. Hrm... decisions, decisions... :s I can't wait for the Filco to arrive though. I love the tenkeyless form factor. The number pad is useful at work, but I still don't use it often, so tenkeyless is perfect for home and most of my office time.

Aparently the new G80-3000s are now coming with clears instead of browns so just grab one of those.

Hm.. Might be risky unless the sellers knows - New old stock might have whatever they used to put in there, right?

The Filcos arrived today, one day ahead of schedule! I'm loving the browns are fine to type on - light like the blues, but with without the clicky sounds. The soft tactility is much softer than I would have thought.

I really like the black spring strength. IMO it's just perfect - not too hard not too soft. I do miss the click tactility but it almost doesn't matter - it's that good. I'm pretty sure I want to try whites as my next Cherry switch now.

Two ones of different layouts bought recently are confirmed to use clears here http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?t=5757&do=comments&page=3

It could be be very recent though, perhaps you should watch a seller for a while and buy after the stock number goes up.
