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.

Specs

Sizes: 2x2, 3x4, 4x6

Material: 6mm matte frosted acrylic

Origin: Australia


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.
