Know before you buy
The switch testers are designed specifically for Cherry MX style switches. Other switch footprints may not fit securely in the acrylic block.
Soldering is optional. You can use the hotswap sockets for testing without soldering, though soldering them in place will provide a more permanent and stable connection for frequent use.
The integrated ruler allows you to quickly verify keycap sizes from 1U to 10U. This is particularly useful for ensuring compatibility when sourcing custom keycap sets for non-standard layouts.
No, the acrylic switch testers are not designed to support backlighting or LEDs. They are intended for evaluating the tactile feel and sound profile of your switches.
The collection includes separate tools: a stabilizer testing station and your choice of an 8-switch or 16-switch acrylic block. This allows you to choose the configuration that best fits your workspace.
The kit includes six bump-on feet that you can attach to the base. These provide the necessary grip to keep the tester stable during assembly and testing.
