=== Switch Testing Plates ===
+
These plates are the easiest way to try out different switches and double as artisan display units.  
These are single pieces of 6mm acrylic that hold switches in for testing purposes. Choose your switches at the bottom of this page and message me with a list.  
+
  
Trying out single switches is a great way to compare side by side and to use as a reference. It will not be the same as trying a whole board with one switch - but it's a lot cheaper. A full 12 slot unit will set you back around $30-35 AUD.
+
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.
  
To purchase, [[contact]] me with your location and what you're after.  
+
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.
  
Pricing:
+
High quality 3M bumpons are pre-applied to each unit.
  
* 4 Slot Switch Plate 2x2 - $5
+
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.
* 12 Slot Switch Plate 3x4 - $14

* Or any custom size (larger than 3x4 in size)

* Blank DSA keycaps - 50c each (clear + many colours)

These are fully enclosed and assembled units designed to hold your switches securely.
+
  
The main feature is the switch plate, this allows switches to clip in securely. They won't fall out and will require a switch puller (or IC puller) to remove them.

Message me on discord with what you would like. Include your post code and suburb in your message please.
Also known as 'lube stations' by other vendors, these tools are used to organise switches neatly as mod/lube them.  
+
  
My design is made from premium 6mm frosted acrylic and features a spaced out grid layout so you don't bump into adjacent switches when closing them or applying films and other fiddly work.

High quality 3M bumpons are pre-applied to the unit, all you have to do is peel off the protective film and you're good to go.

 +
In contrast to the tester plates, these are fully enclosed units made from several layers of acrylic and features a 1.5mm switch plate to allow switches to clip in securely, like a typical keyboard case.
  
'''Step 1.''' Choose your size/arrangement.
 
Only use even numbers e.g. 4x6, 3x8, 4x10 etc.
 
  
 +
Pricing:
  
'''Step 2.''' Choose whether the switch holes are grippy or loose.
+
* 1u - $7
By default, they are grippy because it's what I prefer, find grippy to be superior. You can angle the plate when lubing without worrying about switches falling out. It can also be used as a switch tester.
+
* 1u high profile - $8
 +
* 1x2 - $10 - 3 available (black, smoke, snow)
 +
* 2x2 - $13 - 3 available (2 smoke black, 1 snow)
 +
* 2x3 - $15 - Sold out
 +
* 2x4 - $16 - 3 available (snow)
 +
* 3x4 - $20 - 1 available (snow)
 +
* 3x5 - $24 - 2 available (snow)
  
* Grippy: switches are held in place via friction. To remove, wiggle the switch or push it out from below.
+
Delivery is via courier or auspost parcel starting around $9-10.
* Loose: there is no friction holding the switch. This is how most other makers configure it
+
  
  
'''Step 3.''' Optional features if wanted.
+
[https://imgur.com/a/H2Ogp7U Click here for an imgur album of photos.]
 
+
* Stem slots: this adds 30% extra on top of base.
+
* Brush holes: several holes of varying size can be added to the top or side of the unit.
+
 
+
 
+
'''Step 4.''' Choose delivery method:
+
 
+
* Auspost large letter - $3.50 for units up to 6x8 size.
+
* Courier - Starts at $10 for metro areas (no PO boxes).
+
 
+
 
+
==== Pricing ====

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.
