=== Switch Testing Plates ===
+
Switch tester plates are an excellent way to try out different switches or mounting artisans.
To purchase anything, please [[contact]] me with your location and what you're after.  
+
  
Switch testing plates are the cheapest switch testers I sell. I have 4 and 12 slot units in stock.
+
They are made from 6mm silky smooth matte clear acrylic, very durable with no flex.
  
These are made from a single piece of 6mm acrylic and hold switches in by friction.  
+
If you're fresh in the hobby, please ask around the community (such as snagkeys or switchkeys discord servers) in order to find out which switches to try. I sell individual switches and blank keycaps listed at the bottom of the page.
  
This means they can get bumped out if pressed at an angle but also makes swapping switches easy by simply pushing them out from below.

=== Switch Modding Plates ===
+
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.
+
Direct purchase is also possible by messaging me on discord.  If you are international, I recommend checking out the vendors above as they'll have better rates.

Hello traveller, you have reached my switch vault. I have many switches available, for a price.
  
'''Step 2.''' Choose whether the switch holes are grippy or loose.  
+
If you require bulk switches, please check out local aussie vendors such as [https://customkbd.com/collections/key-switches Custom KBD], [https://www.switchkeys.com.au/collections/switches Switchkeys], [https://dailyclack.com/collections/switches Daily Clack], [https://keyboardtreehouse.com/collections/switches Keyboard Treehouse], [https://mountainkeyboards.com/ Mountain Keyboards] and many others.
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.  
+
  
* Grippy: switches are held in place via friction. To remove, wiggle the switch or push it out from below.
 
* Loose: there is no friction holding the switch. This is how most other makers configure it

Switch Tester Plates

LAS 8387 - 2000px.jpg


Switch tester plates are an excellent way to try out different switches or mounting artisans.

They are made from 6mm silky smooth matte clear acrylic, very durable with no flex.

If you're fresh in the hobby, please ask around the community (such as snagkeys or switchkeys discord servers) in order to find out which switches to try. I sell individual switches and blank keycaps listed at the bottom of the page.
