do these work as a spare for my keyboard, does it work as an actual switch, or does it only simulate the feel?

They are the actual switches. There are 12 different switches.

Why would the RGB version of any key feel any different from the non-RGB?

Yes. RGB switches are made out of a different, usually harder plastic. This will absolutely affect the acoustics of the switch in a noticeable way. Since the plastic rubs on itself, this will also affect the feel.

does this comewith the switches or do you have to get your own?

It comes with the 12 different Cherry MX key switches and 12 labeled keycaps
