=== Switch Testing Plates ===
+
Switch tester plates are an excellent way to try out different switches or mounting artisans.
To purchase anything, [[contact]] me (preferably through discord) with your location and what you're after. Thanks.
+
  
Switch testing plates are the cheapest type of switch testers I sell. These are made from a single piece of 6mm acrylic and hold switches in by friction.  
+
They are made from 6mm silky smooth matte clear acrylic, very durable with no flex.
  
This means they can be bumped out of place and pushed out. Some switches will sit a bit looser. Advanced Switch Testers (below) have their own separate 1.5mm plate that allows switches to clip in - this means they are securely held in place and will require a switch puller or IC puller to quickly remove.
+
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.

=== Advanced Switch Testers ===
+
== Specs ==
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. As a result, I recommend using a switch puller to remove switches, which I also sell.
+
Sizes: 2x2, 3x4, 4x6
  
Features:
+
Material: 6mm matte frosted acrylic
  
* 1.5mm top plate allows switches to clip in securely.

Origin: Australia
* Fully enclosed design for comfortable handling or use as a fidget toy.

* Advanced Switch Tester 1u - $8
+
== Features ==
* Advanced Switch Tester 1x2 - $10
+
===== Switch support =====
* Advanced Switch Tester 2x2 - $13
+
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).
* Advanced Switch Tester 2x3 - $15 (only one unit left - plywood)
+
  
2x3 is the largest size in stock at the moment.  
+
===== 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.
  
New advanced testers will be developed in the future that can be converted into a macropad case. And tester keychains. Stay tuned!
+
===== 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.

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.

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.
