Review Highlights:

adriananshelm

Great tool to get a practical feel for switches. Switch reviews are like reading perfume reviews, more of a poem. It's hard to get a sense of what 'tactile' and 'clicky' means to different people.
The product really should come with just a cheap printed map of which switch is which; referring back to the image here works but shouldn't be necessary.

Admittedly, the first thing I did was mash this tester against my face.  And yes, it was satisfying.

I really appreciate the sheer number of switch options.  You can really get a feel for the variance of similar switches (ie the milky vs the standard gaterons), plus you get to see a lot of switches you have never heard of before (ie the aliaz switches).  Highly recommended.

Q&A Highlights:

Are the switches electrically functional, if we were to put them into a hot-swappable board for testing the feel and activation depth?

wavetwister

They appear to be fully functional switches with the connections on the back. I don't have a hot swappable board to test it out with to get you a definite answer. It would be nice to test the actuation points... they could be hooked up to a simple LED that lights up the clear base-but this switch tester is expensive enough as it is. This is good for feeling the actuation weights, there's a lot of variation in this set. Some feel like they'd be tiring to type on, and some (clears) like there's barely any weight and i'd mistype on them - but I've no idea really. End of the day you'll still need to type with a full set of switches for a while to see how you like it, but this switch tester helps narrow things down and give you a view of the overall switch landscape.

Lack of Information

My tester did not come with any information listing which switch is which. I had to come back to this webpage and screenshot images in order to have an easy reference on hand. I'm disappointed that there are so many clicky switches and so few tactile switches. Are clicky switches really that popular? But seriously, my main disappointment with the selection is that I was hoping to try some more tactile switches. Some more basic information on this product listing would go a long way, such as, 'contains x number or tactile switches' and so forth. Sure, I suppose I could have researched all 63 switches myself before choosing to make this purchase, but to be honest, I've been way to buy researching other things as I've been diving headlong into the obsessive hobby of mechanical keyboards. To go a step farther, it would be really helpful if DROP listed all of the technical information for the switches, such as bottoming out force and and key travel distance, on the product page.

great for testing but needs labeling and some switches had bent pins

Like others said it would be nice with keycap labels. Great set for testing but two of the switches in the corner of the board came with bent pins. They are all usable and functioning on a hotswap keyboard, except for two of the switches that came had bent pins.

Works as advertised, but labels on keys would be best!

I thought that this switch tester worked as advertised, but there are two concerns that would prevent me from purchasing it again:

Much like a box of assorted chocolates, I found it frustrating to need to refer back to the map of the switches and their location so I could look up the ones I was most interested in. Instead, I would suggest buying the more elaborate model on the Drop website that has labels for each switch. https://drop.com/buy/kbdfans-all-in-one-72-switch-tester?defaultSelectionIds=973206
After using the tester and getting the chance to test the switches on a hot-swappable keyboard, I found that I didn't get a good test from using a single switch on a single key. Unfortunately, I would suggest buying a pack of ten to fifteen of a switch you want to test and trying it on a keyboard you are familiar with.

Great for testing switches before committing

This is a great testing ground with a good selection of switches so you can find which ones you want before committing to a switch. Of the 63, I found two that I really like, the Kailh Box Navy and Kailh Box Jade. I hadn't even heard of these witches before buying this tester. I now daily the Kailh Box Navy switches and I love them! Highly recommend this for people with decision paralysis as this is a hands on way to find what you like. Switches are super easy to swap in case you want to add your own in the future as there are some switches that come with it that are pretty close to each other in feel and kinda feel like repeats even though they aren't.

Good Tester

Good selection of switches to give you an idea of what you might like and which direction to go. So far I've not ended up buying a set of any of the included switches because I liked some from a different tester better. I think it's a pretty good value for the variety you get and the fact that it also includes some basic caps.

Pretty good intro to different types of switches

Found this to be a decent introduction to various types of switches. Not comprehensive by any means but good for those new to the scene like myself.

Serves its purpose

I wish this came with at least a paper copy of all of the switch names. Otherwise, it's a useful way to get a feel for a bunch of different switches (and it's a lot of fun to play with)

Useful Switch Tester

Very well made and useful. The problem I have with these switch testers is that it doesn't really give you a good idea of what it will feel like on a keyboard. You really have to use your imagination.
