WTB: keyboard with Cherry clear switches

[berserkfan]

Hello Everyone

Although I am interesting in buying a Cherry Clear keyboard, this is not strictly an ad. I would like to know more about keyboards with Cherry clear switches, how the switches feel, which keyboard is better (I think there are only a few companies that make these), how to find these kb, etc. So I'm hoping to hear what people think!

If you're not looking to buy this keyboard, you should post this in a different sub-forum.

Or that if you want to save money.



Also, these are some threads that discussed the Clears, if you're interested

I'm really sorry OP. I skimmed real hard while I was at work. Moose is right. I apologize.

I'll go dig out the cone of shame.

I've got the TG3 with MX Clear switches.  Very nice key feel, a little tactile bump, but stronger than MX Browns.  Highly recommended, if you like MX White or MX Green switches. 

If your preferences run towards MX Red or Blue keyboards, I would steer clear of MX Whites, they will give your fingers a work-out!

One note about the TG3; it uses a non-standard key layout, seems to be optimized for no stabilizers (only the space bar has one).  This means the "1 !" key is almost 1.5x, Enter key is the same size, etc.  All the same profile, like tall DSA profile?  Also the LED backlighting on these keyboards is 12v, which requires some fairly extensive modding to make work.

Give your interesting collection of keycaps    I would suggest you get the Ducky keyboard for ease of swapping.  The TG3 is very well-made, but I would think it's more for fans of industrial chic.

I'd agree with this to a certain degree. If you like semi-stiff and tactile switches, the Greens and Clears are a perfect choice. They are definitely my favorite 2 switches You can't go wrong with either but the Greens are definitely a lil' more stiffer than the Clears, and can give a work out to your weaker fingers

MX Greens are still my favorite switches, but Whites and Clears run a close second.  (I've got one keyboard with MX Blacks, find myself bottoming them out too often.)

I second this. I am still loving my ducky with clears.

For me clears seem to be very smooth and I definitely do not feel like I am bottoming out much at all, but you do have to make an effort to press the keys but I like that.

It might be just a tad fatiguing at first but after a few days you adjust.

Seems like the consensus is either your love em or hate em.

Also I really like using the number pad and also a fan of full size boards.

My next things is to try different key caps to see how they change the feel of the clears.

Yup, I said it before too but the Clears make it easy to not bottom out but at the same time it's somewhat very light to type on.

Also, IMO, Clears gotta have them PBT's.
