syndroneIIRC there are actually an older and a newer white switch. But neither are the same as the clear switches.

syndroneIt's been cleared up many times in this thread, but in case you didn't see any of the posts, Cherry MX White (aka: Milk) and Cherry MX Clears are two different switches that look remarkably similar, but perform completely differently. The clears are somewhere in the middle of the road as far as actuation force goes - 55g. Higher than the browns, less than the blacks. The whites/milks are the highest of the high as far as actuation - 80g, same as the Cherry MX Greens. Neither the Clear nor the White/Milk are technically clicky keys like the blue, but the White/Milk has a "muted" click. Sort of halfway between a red and a blue.
The tester in this drop includes the 80g Cherry MX White switches. QWERTim said that we should be able to email the QWERkeys to get a Clear thrown in with the sampler.
