Switch Tester

This is a very useful tool to quickly and easily compare switch feel, travel and sound. Although not currently mentioned in the description, mine came with keycaps too.

All switches I chose (from three manufacturers) fit perfectly and are held securely. The keycaps in the corner positions on the tester had a tendency to slightly contact the edges of the tester, but this was easily remedied by shaving the edges of those keycaps.

Having exclusively used and abused the same set of Cherry MX Black linear switches for the last 17 years, I chose a selection of tactile, clicky and linear switches to see what I might have been missing out on. Quite a lot it seems. The differences between each switch were immediately apparent and I was very surprised to find that I have fallen for a clicky switch, the Gateron Melodic. I also really liked Gateron's Oil King, Quinn and G Pro 3.0 Yellow.

Great chance to test a number of switches to pick what you need

Really glad I could get a full set of choc switches to try and the quality of the tester is great considering it’s 3d printed. The choc switches are clearly a bit smaller than mx switches though, so whilst they do still clip in, they move about a bit and fall out quite easily.

Excellent delivery as always- the fact that you put the switches in yourself allowed me to customise the way I wanted them.

Overally a brilliant switch tester, however I was disappointed by the tolerance of the acrylic housing the switches are placed in. they do not stay in well due to a very weak hold on the switch, so moving the holder is a pain sometimes and I wish the switches would stay in when I press them.

Ordered a switch tester with a custom selection of switches, and it was at my door less than 48 hours later. The piece of acrylic is great quality, and holds the switches well enough that they more than likely won't fall out, but are easy enough to remove.
