Is the Cherry MX Ergo Clear factory lubed?
Yes, but lightly. The factory lube mostly lands on the stem legs, stem pole, and the base of the spring, so you get clean operation with minimal ping out of the box but still some residual scratch.
Do I need a stem trimmer for these switches?
It's strongly recommended. The Ergo Clear stem can sit slightly proud and stress keycaps during mounting, so trimming the stem first helps you avoid cracking your caps.
How does the Ergo Clear compare to a Cherry MX Brown?
It keeps the medium spring tension of a Brown but adds a far more pronounced, rounded tactile bump. If Browns feel too subtle for you, the Ergo Clear is the natural step up without crossing into heavy or clicky territory.
