Switch tester plates are an excellent way to try out different switches or mounting artisans.
Hello. Welcome.  
+
  
Website is a work in progress. At the moment i'm using this to keep track of my switch testers, switches and accessories for sale.
+
They are made from 6mm silky smooth matte clear acrylic, very durable with no flex.
  
So far, I have only been selling to australians (and some new zealanders) on the australian mech discord and facebook page.
+
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.
  
If you are international, I can get you a quote but expect shipping to be quite high.

== Features ==
 +
===== Switch support =====
 +
Tester plates support any MX style switches such as cherry, kailh, kailh box, outemu, tecsee, durock etc. Some switches may sit a bit tighter or looser. Tester plates are a bit tighter than mod plates (which can be used as testers).

+
===== Material and finish =====
 +
The acrylic is clear with a silky smooth satin/frosted texture on both sides, that resists dust and fingerprints. This is the same material used for my keyboard stands and other products.
  
 +
===== Rubber feet =====
 +
Clear 3M rubber feet are pre-applied on each unit so it's ready to use after removing packaging. 4x6 units have an extra 2 bumpons in the center to maintain stability.
  
This is produced in batches by myself. I can make these at any time so there is no need for fomo.
