Those clears and more like super light clicky blues.

I think they are precursors to blue switches before they dyed them.

But the blacks are super blacks, they are insanely heavy.

And I don't think this board speaks anything that can be converted.

Also the stabilizers are proprietary and the inserts are glued into the caps.

Mine had dyesub caps.

Your post was the reason I know what I do about this board. Do you still have yours? how did you like it?

I ended up selling the switches to another member who really wanted them.

The rest of it is in a box somewhere.

I really wanted it to work though it's a very nice board.

Yep, they are clicky switches. I think a nickname for them is usually "clicky clears," but they're more like prototypical Cherry MX Blues or vintage MX White, I suppose.
