Switch Tester

I ordered a switch tester with a number of choc switches. I did receive different switches to what i ordered (an extra brown instead of a pro red), although got the ones i was most interested in

A great value comparison tool

This is a very useful tool to quickly and easily compare switch feel, travel and sound. Although not currently mentioned in the description, mine came with keycaps too. All switches I chose (from three manufacturers) fit perfectly and are held securely. The keycaps in the corner positions on the tester had a tendency to slightly contact the edges of the tester, but this was easily remedied by shaving the edges of those keycaps. Having exclusively used and abused the same set of Cherry MX Black linear switches for the last 17 years, I chose a selection of tactile, clicky and linear switches to see what I might have been missing out on. Quite a lot it seems. The differences between each switch were immediately apparent and I was very surprised to find that I have fallen for a clicky switch, the Gateron Melodic. I also really liked Gateron's Oil King, Quinn and G Pro 3.0 Yellow.

Full set of choc switches to test!

Really glad I could get a full set of choc switches to try and the quality of the tester is great considering it’s 3d printed. The choc switches are clearly a bit smaller than mx switches though, so whilst they do still clip in, they move about a bit and fall out quite easily.
