Saw these keyboards, initially saw the "Blue Mechanical" in the title, and assumed that they had the Blue switches in them. I must have selected the wrong one, as they have selection boxes for Black Switch and Blue Switch, and I bought the cheaper one, which ... as it turns out... is the "Black Switch".
I bought it for typing, not for gaming, so I really prefer the "Blue Switch" variety, as that is what my last mech. keyboard had, and it was the type of switch that I prefer, it has the click-clack of a mechanical keyboard.
These black switches, don't have much of any detent at the point of keystroke input, and they feel like mem-chanical switches, honestly, or at least, what I imagine them to be like. But lo, if I pull off a keycap, they appear to have real mechanical switches under them... "black switches".
I guess that I'll either have to get used to them, or return them. Either way, these were a decent deal, but already, my fingers are getting a little tired typing on them, because I feel like I have to press the keys all the way down to make them register, whereas, I had the "click" of tactile feedback with the Blue switches.
That said, these are quality units, the back-lighting is REALLY NICE, and it has a braided cord, and came with a keycap-puller widget, and a nice little brush for brushing out the keyboard crumbs.
