Strange. Maybe they're along the same lines as the clones in the Rapoo V7 and that lot?

It almost sounds like they are proud to have reproduced the tactility and feeling of MX Blue switches.

Calling them their own is quite lame if they just try to build one that feels exactly like Cherry switches and probably even uses the same stem.

pic of the switch is on the site, I seem to be unable to directlink to it.
It's a Kaihua blue Cherry MX clone with LED. Likely this one: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Kaihua_PG1511_series
TT is going the cheap route as it seems.
