Hello I had a few question about the switches on the keyboard. The specification lists it as Red Mechanical. Does that mean that the switch is Cherry MX Red? Or is red mechanical referring to a new type of switch. I am not the biggest gaming enthusiast and did not know if the terms were interchangeable or not.

These use Kailh red switches as the person says above. They are practically the same in terms of Cherry MX Reds, just they are cheaper making the keyboard more affordable.
