Does anybody know if the Gateron clears are like the MX clears? I can't find specs on it, deskthority says gateron "translucent white" has 35g actuation, which would be quite far from MX clears 55g actuation. I really wish they had clears for this as my public use / office keyboard needs to be tactile but quieter.

Stephen304Hey! You're asking all the questions I had last night and I found some answers so I'll share again. This is from the Gateron switches drop page right here on Massdrop:
Blacks - 50g Linear Blues - 55g Clicky Clears - 35g Linear Browns - 45g Tactile Reds - 45g Linear Yellows - 50g Linear
As you can see, the only tactile but non-clicky Gateron switches are Browns.

Stephen304My understanding is that the Gatreon clear is a linear like Cherry MX red/black *not* a tactile like the Cherry MX clear/brown. From what I've heard it's also on the lighter side (35g), so lighter even than Cherry MX reds.

drmntlOh that's a bummer - I was so ready to have a good public space keyboard. I'd like to see more drops with heavy tactile switches like green for loud and gray tactile for quiet.
