SupernovavYea Whites are like Blues. I wanted the Clears too =/
What I plan on doing though, is I'm going to get the Gateron Browns, and replace the springs with 80g springs. That should simulate Clears I think. I'm experimenting so take that with a grain of salt.
Doing it this way will also actually cost less than if Clears were to come with it. By like 2-3 dollars I think. That's assuming they'd be the same price as the Greens and Whites.
You can buy the 80g springs from MechanicalKeyboards for 14.99 free shipping to US.

InocenteThe question is, can you open up the key switches without desoldering?

flipjsioFrom the photos provided, it does not look like it is possible to open up the switches without desoldering.

theimmcI found out the hard way literally just now that I'm not able to change the springs for switches if they're plate mounted /)_- I didn't pay attention to the details for to the how-to's I was finding and completely overlooked the fact that they were doing the mod on PCB mounted keyboards -_-
@Supernovav , disregard my suggestion above.
I received 80g springs today that I bought from MechanicalKeyboards and was going to swap out the springs in my Poker 2 with blue switches and CM Storm Quickfire TK with brown switches, with the new springs.. But nope.. they're plate mounted =(

InocenteThere are plates that allow you to remove the top of the switches, but they're usually only found in custom builds.

Just to clarify, the Cherry MX Whites are Cherry MX Whites and not clears. Also, if you order a white case, it comes with white keycaps while the black case comes with the black keycaps. The gold case also comes with white keycaps.
I'll try to get some sample pictures of the different case options for everyone.
