These plates are the easiest way to try out different switches and double as artisan display units.  
This is what I recommend for beginners as it's the cheaper option.  
+
  
The unit is a single 6mm thick acrylic plate, with a smooth frosted finish on both sides. Switches are pushed in and held with friction force. They can be pushed out from below, or wiggled out from above.  
+
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.
  
Choose your switches at the bottom, as many or as few as you would like. Blank DSA keycaps are available at 50c each.
+
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.
  
The total price of a 12 slot 3x4 unit will be in the area of $30-40 depending. Delivery can be done via auspost letter at $2.50 - $3.50.
+
High quality 3M bumpons are pre-applied to each unit.

=== Advanced Switch Testers ===
 
These are solid fully enclosed units that hold switches in securely via a dedicated switch plate. They will simulate a keyboard better than the switch plate option, but keep in mind nothing will be the same as trying out a full keyboard with a particular switch.
 
  
I have some old stock still available, some unlisted so get in contact if you are looking for a particular size. New ones are being designed.
+
Payment taken via Pay ID.
  
These units cannot be flat packed and will need to be sent via courier/parcel, which starts at $10.

Delivery options (AU only):
 +
 
 +
* Auspost letter untracked - unavailable, these units are not flat enough.

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.

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.
