The leading mechanical blue/brown switch actuates a bit after the tactile feedback of the key, but the Tt eSPORTS Certified Mechanical switches actuates earlier and closer to the tactile feedback. Offering a more accurate feel and faster response time than the other more commonly found mechanical switches.

This version uses an 'mx compatible' switch type.

I think you can see some faint Kailh branding on the switches here

Didn't notice. I updated the title of the topic to Kailh switches instead.

TBH I still think that this is overpriced at $60.

But I guess it's a good way to get a hold of some Kailh switches this early in their production.
