Hello!
As of late, I've been looking at some mechanical keyboards. Although, being new to mechanical keyboards, I'm a bit unsure about something that's probably very simple.
The keyboard I've [pretty much, still looking for recommendations] decided on is the CM Storm Rapid-i, particularly with Cherry MX Blues.
On the Amazon listing for the medium sized one, with the keypad, it says specifically Cherry MX Blues.
Yet on the tenkeyless design (which I'm going for, I lack desk space) all it says is "Rapid-I Blue", not specifically Cherry MX.

This is probably just me overthinking it, but is this just a typo, or is there a difference?

TL;DR: There's a discrepancy, I think it's just a typo, but I can't be too careful.
One says "Cherry MX Blue", the other says "Rapid-I Blue"
Does anyone know if there's a difference, or if it's a typo?

Thank you in advance!

Yes, the Rapid-i Blue model is the one with Cherry Blue switches.
The other two options, Brown and Red, have Cherry Brown (tactile but not audible) and Cherry Red (not tactile and not audible) switches, respectively.

I see, thank you very much. I do apologise for such a simple, silly question. But, it's expensive, and one can't be too sure.

In fact, I did read the entire thing. That's what ultimately caused the confusion. It says Cherry MX in the description, yet in the title, it didn't specify if they were Cherry MX, it just said "blue switch"
And not to mention the model selection, all it said was "Rapid-I Blue", whereas a different model specified Cherry MX.
It was a simple mistake, I just wanted to be clear on it.
