Kaihua switches: Long hua vs. Kailh

Hi all,

Recently I bought my first mechanical keyboard after years of bog-standard membrane typing. I chose a (relatively) cheap and cheerful chinese rgb board, the Arealer Roarer. Looking at reviews of the keyboard they show that it uses 'long hua' blue clicky switches. I hadn't heard the name before and nothing was on the wiki, but after looking it up they seem to be made by Kaihua, who sell them separately to their Kailh switches.

The only visible difference in pictures was the clear housing on the long huas vs black on the kailhs. Since I can't seem to find anything else about them, has anyone here come across them, and if so, is there any other difference between them and kailh?

I know that kailh are virtually identical to cherry mx minus gold plated contacts
