Supposively they are Cherry blues, but they fail so often in this keyboard that I'm not convinced this information is true. Had three of them, all three had their switches fail after about a month. I have three other keyboards with Cherry switches and none of them has that problem.

Yeah the old ones were cherry mx blues, if you can find the older model i highly recommend them. Had one for forever and it's still working. Been about 2-3 years now.

On the previous models, they were CHERRY MX BLUES. The new 2014's are Razer's proprietary switches that come in their modified blues or modified browns.

I believe the older versions used Cherry MX Blue switches. Razer's newest junk uses their own Razer Green switches.

blue switch. If u are a gamer who don't care much about the rgb light or u are an editor who don't cre about the annoying sound u should get it! I highly recommend this. The package weight? U really care about this? U sure? I used this more than a year, and the only thing I want to tell you is: even though this mechanical keyboard is maybe not looks or feels great when you first get it, but u will like it after u use it more than a week! Much better than other so called mechanical stuff. Remember this is genuine CHERRY!

The roccat Ryos Series keyboards are blue led only. If you want a keyboard that can change the led colors you could get the ROCCAT™ Isku FX keyboard. The Color of the Cherry Switches (Blue, brown, red, black) does not define the color of the leds.

I used daystar lighted rocker switches in mine. (Sold separate) and they work, look great

Yes, color does matter. It is supposed to represent specific wiring for specific use-ie. usb keyboard to ps2 for keyboardon computer (different wiring for green mouse adapter). Mine didn't work. they only work with certain usb keyboards, apparently, not the newer ones.

One red one blue one green... unfortunately. I bought these thinking each light was RGB, but that's not the case. There are others on here that are like that though.

There are 3 switches. One for the fan, one the night light and one the light

DSI produces/produced left-handed models using all three switches you mentioned but has done a poor job of distinguishing them from each other. The product description here says Red switches are used, but if you look carefully, you can probably find one using Black or Blue switches elsewhere.

Switch color =/= backlighting color.No matter what, the color of the lights are red, but the mechanical switch that are under the keys are called blue switches. The switch type has nothing to do with the backlighting color. If you have further questions, come on over to www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards and ask!

Hey bro. It's a dark brown. Almost mohagany. I did have an issue with this company. They neglecte to include some hardware for the keyboard drawer. They resent all new hardware but the part I need was still missing

Blue. Now and then when I order the green ones, they show up as a green case but with a white light. They are quick to replace them when this does happen

This uses cherry mx red switches. (Source: I bought mine thinking it would come with blues)

I got three (3) mode switches. I should have read more answers instead of just the visible one, as the ONLY reason i bought this was for the single mode, only to receive a three mode set. Would return if the shipping wasn't just as expensive as the stupid lights.

The switches are on the round plate that mounts to the wall. They're located on the lower part of the round plate.

The backlighting on the sliver keyboard is indeed blue while the black keyboard is red. Not switchable, but you can adjust the brightness level.

No switches just switch cut outs. U have to cut them out for each switch u plan to use

All Tahoe switches are black, to the best of my knowledge...you might find a similar GM truck or Cadillac part in grey.
