It looks like it uses MX blue copies. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I seek for something dirty cheap to type with. I've googled a few minutes to find something on those "mechanical aula blue switches" and it looks like those are MX blue copies. Maybe made by Kailh? Geekhack says so. Some people seem to have imported this into reddit-compatible countries https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyb ... oday_such/Muirium wrote: ↑Well, I ain't no gamer, but gamming meanwhile…Mechanical AULA blue switches
I wanted to ask You - the PROS - if you've had any experience with this.

If that diagram is anything to go by, it looks more like an MX clear clone, or brown maybe. I don't see the click mechanism, just a tactile leaf. Blues aren't meant to be much good for gaming, thanks to hysteresis. Something the chart seems to refer to. The video had music all over it so I gave up trying to find an actual typing sample, they all seemed to have much more important things to talk about…
As for an honest impression of the keyboard, I can't say mine is positive! But it could be worth a look, for novelty value. Kailh are up to something with those clones. Either they're slavishly copying Cherry (at a lower cost) or, maybe, they're making improvements. Unlikely, but not impossible. Cherry themselves have stood still for donkeys years, after all.
Anyway, can't tell just sitting here!

The diagram appears to show a clicky switch, as the click collar isn't at the top, but then they also have the spring drawn wrong.
It doesn't look anything like a Kaihua switch — it looks a lot more authentic in shape than most clones, and Kaihua have their own distinctive shape. There certainly are other clones that look very much like real MX switches, but whether it's a continuation of an old product line, or a new one, we're unlikely to ever know.
