It looks like the same type of on/off switch found on most amplifiers (Vox, Fender, Orange, Hiwatt). My MK-VI has the same type of switch. It looks and feels like a switch to me. It makes a nice click sound. Not a mushy click or a spongy click, a nice snappy click.

I would defy anyone to tell the difference in sound (no one could), even in the feel of the keyboard (the difference there is very slight). At $1800. and 41 pounds with 100 sounds and (BTW) parameter control, it's one hell of a machine.
