Just insert your switch into the plate and chuck on a keycap (which I also sell).
 
 
The switches can be pushed out from below.
 
 
Note that some switches may fit in tighter or looser. In general, these plates are slightly tighter than switch mod plates in order to grip switches a bit better.

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.


LAS 8388 - 2000px.jpg


LAS 8361 - 2000px.jpg


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.

Advanced Switch Testers (legacy product)

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.

They are great as fidget toys to leave around or take to meets. The switches won't fall out because of the switch plate and enclosed nature.

Note: these are currently out of production but I have a few available. Please message to check availbility.

Pricing:
