Cherry MX Spring types Grouped-Up, Correctly?

[TheQsanity]

I have grouped-up the spring types that I think they should belong to. I have not owned all of them myself but this is a reference from what I have read and heard.

Springs for cherry mx:

• Group one: Blue, Red, Brown
• Group one and one half (Rare switch):Orange(predecessor to reds)
• Group two: Black, Lock
• Group three: White, Green
• Group four: Clear
• Group five: Grey, Dark Grey
• Group six(rare +85cN): Super Black, Navy Blue ,Super Grey

This seems right to me. If I am wrong please correct me please.

clear springs are stiffer than green springs. And what is a super black?

What would your list look like?

and http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX_Super_Black

I believe that there is a Super Grey also

Yes clear is stronger than green/white for sure. There are several 'super' switch with weights in excess of 80cN and up to 160cN that I have come across in black, grey and navy blue. These are relatively uncommon and seem to have been used mostly on switch on some boards that had system power on/off or other functions that an accidental keypress would definitely be very unwanted.
If you are going to be including bizarre uncommon switches there are a few more like orange (predecessor to reds made custom for ncr long before reds existed), linear white (found so far mostly on typewriters with a weight between red/brown/blue and black)... I think there is maybe another couple?
Otherwise your listing seems to be correct to me.

You can also add the other clears to the list.
Group one: Blue, Red, Brown, Ergo Clear (Purple?)
Group two: Black, Lock, Panda clear
Group three: Clear
Group four: White, Green
Group five: Grey, Dark Grey
Group six: Super Black

Would you guys Say that Clear springs are equal, more, or less than greys?

[WhiteFireDragon]

The tactile greys that I have are more stiff than the clears. They're definitely different springs.

Maybe someone that isn't as lazy as me can get all the info from the old wiki and rebuild it... http://web.archive.org/web/20110726075627/http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Cherry+switches+and+boards
