what kind of that switch , im never seeing any mechanical keyboard switch like that ? is that switch common ? is that really a mechanical keyboard or a fake one ?

Hard to tell from the pic and don't know the brand of the keyboard. However most mechanical switches are a type of "cherry mx" and different colors denote different properties. Soft click, hard click etc. There is one called a cherry mx blue and the inner portion of that switch appears bluish to me so that might be what it is.
 


No, I highly doubt those are Cherry MX switches. Cherry MX's have"+" shaped heads those look more rectangular.
