Here is a good overview of the different cherry mx switches used in these keyboards. Each color has a different feel.
The MX blue switches used in this keyboard are described as:
The Cherry MX Blue is the most common clicky switch, and was first made available in Filco keyboards in 2007. Blue switches are favoured by typists due to their tactile bump and audible click, but can be less suitable for gaming as the weighting is relatively high – 50 cN – and it is a bit harder to double tap, as the release point is above the actuation point. Blue switches are noticeably louder than other mechanical switches, which are already louder than rubber domes, so these switches can be a bit disruptive in close working conditions.
I assume these are not illuminated because I can’t find anything indicating they are?

I just spent some time on the manufacturer’s web site, and the keys are NOT illuminated. In fact they sell the same keyboard with BLANK KEYS! The only difference is the printing (or absence of it) on the key caps.
