For 40usd its a good deal imo, at least for a first mech. Switches are deff "outmu" blues as it says on the box (probably OUTEMU but miss spelt). Found this review too

If they are outemu blues they are pretty solid.

Outemu's are really crisp switches. They may not be as reliable as other brands, but they aren't bad, especially if they are the 'boxed' outemu's. They sound wonderful and have low stem wobble and better dust resistance.
AFAIK, the boxed variety only comes in keyboards that advertise that the switches are hot swappable though, so I doubt they have the good ones. The boxed variety comes with hot swap sleeves installed, so it would be something they would advertise.

My only reservation would be the controller itself. I had one experience with non-boxed outemu's with seriously bad chattering issues, but that was due to the controller in the keyboard not playing nice with the switches. It isn't inherent to the switches.

Those are the boxed version. I like those
Interesting, I wonder if you can get them in keyboards that are non-hotswappable now.
