These plates are the easiest way to try out different switches and double as artisan display units.  
  
 +
They're made from a single 6mm thick clear acrylic with a silky smooth satin/frosted finish on both sides that resists dust and fingerprints.
  
=== Switch Testing Plates ===
+
Switches are simply pushed into the slots and will be held in place with friction, and can be pushed out from below. There is no separate switch plate so switches do not clip in, but this does means it's cheaper, easier and faster to swap switches around.
Switch testing plates are the cheapest type of switch testers I sell. These are made from a single piece of 6mm acrylic and hold switches in by friction.  
+
  
This means they can be bumped out of place and pushed out. Some switches will sit a bit looser. Advanced Switch Testers (below) have their own separate 1.5mm plate that allows switches to clip in - this means they are securely held in place and will require a switch puller or IC puller to quickly remove.
+
High quality 3M bumpons are pre-applied to each unit.
  
Pricing:
+
The total price of a 12 slot unit with switches and keycaps will be around $30-40. Delivery can be done via auspost letter untracked at $2.50 - $3.50 within Australia.

These are more heavy duty than the switch plates and come as a fully assembled and enclosed unit. It features a switch plate that holds switched securely, making it ideal as a desktop fidget toy. As a result, I recommend using a switch puller to remove switches, which I also sell.

=== Switch Modding Plates ===
 
These are the same as the tester plates but have different cutouts and spacing.
 
  
By default, there is 10mm between each switch to give enough room to work around them (especially when applying films).  
+
=== How to Order ===
 +
Message me on discord with what you would like. Include your post code and suburb in your message please.
  
At the moment they are **made to order**, so you can choose the slot count and arrangement.

Switch Tester Plates

These plates are the easiest way to try out different switches and double as artisan display units.

They're made from a single 6mm thick clear acrylic with a silky smooth satin/frosted finish on both sides that resists dust and fingerprints.

Switches are simply pushed into the slots and will be held in place with friction, and can be pushed out from below. There is no separate switch plate so switches do not clip in, but this does means it's cheaper, easier and faster to swap switches around.

High quality 3M bumpons are pre-applied to each unit.

The total price of a 12 slot unit with switches and keycaps will be around $30-40. Delivery can be done via auspost letter untracked at $2.50 - $3.50 within Australia.
