Switch Testers
Switch Plates
So you want to test some switches? Or maybe you want something to help with modding. I can sort you out.
Switch plates are cut from 6mm thick acrylic and switches are friction fitted to them. They are very rigid and come with high quality 3M bumpons (rubber feet) pre-applied.
Going forward, I will distinguish between switch testing plates and switch modding plates - the difference is having slightly tighter holes for testing, and looser for modding so they are easier to remove.
The standard size switch testing plate will be 3x4 but custom sizes can be ordered.

Advanced switch testers
These are more heavy duty than the switch plates and come as a fully assembled and enclosed unit. It features a switch plate that holds switched securely, making it ideal as a desktop fidget toy.
PCBs are not compatible with these but I plan on producing new ones to support PCBs. Essentially macropad cases.
Features:
- 1.5mm top plate allows switches to clip in securely.
- Fully enclosed design for comfortable handling or use as a fidget toy.
- Very solid. It has a 6mm layer going all the way through.
- High quality 3M bumpons (rubber feet) positioned for maximum stability.
