Yantai yellow is an Omron clone switch. While lacking the sharpness of moulding detail and plastic surface texture, it is otherwise virtually identical to a real B3G-S series switch, both inside and outside.<ref name="ZOL" /> Unlike the amber or white of an Omron slider, the slider is yellow; the exact shade of yellow appears to vary.<ref name="KBD5" />
No detailed study of the switchplate exists, but superficially it appears to be almost identical to that of the genuine article, unlike with Dai-Ichi CL-1145 which has simplified internals.
The switch is only known to exist in a single keyboard, also made by Yantai (apparent model RA-1D), from the early 90s. This keyboard was found with amber B3G-S series switches for the heavier keys (space and enter);
