Switch Testers
I produce 2 types of testers - advanced and basic.
The advance series are currently unavailable and some basic ones are in stock, see 'switch plates' below.
To purchase, please get in contact.
Switch Plates
Switch plates are a single thick 6mm piece of clear acrylic that hold switches.
There's a few designs and they come in various sizes.
Each one comes with pre-applied rubber feet.
See photos here:

- For switch modding: https://imgur.com/a/oxZYozl
The switch tester pattern has normal square cutouts and are spaced like a normal keyboard.
The switch modding pattern has switch-top opening cutouts (little tabs on the sides) and are spaced out a bit more.
Both styles can be used for switch testing or modding.
