lol wat, where does the $55 MSRP come from? you can get this directly from KBDFans for $49... and it's in stock now so you probably won't have to wait until mid-September to get it.

Kinda considering getting their 72-switch one direct instead, since if I'm getting a ridiculous toy I might as well go big :P (plus, that one comes with helpful dye sub keycaps that identify each switch)

I regret not getting the alloy base the acrylic suuuuucks.
The labelled caps are so nice!
Wonder if they'll sell me the alloy chassis seperate. Hmm....

oooh hey, missed that one. I guess I don't need a switch tester so urgently that I wouldn't consider requesting that drop and waiting for a bit to see what happens... 🤔

It's been confirmed by Zeal that, on my switch tester, the 1x Tealio and 4x Zealio switches are fake.
EDIT: (but was told in a support ticket that they're not fake)
EDIT 2: and it's now been acknowledged

KBDfans bought some Tealios from someone else than Zeal. Turns out those cheaper Tealios are fakes, and they sold them for like a year or so until Zeal noticed it. Some people said that those are better than the originals, and it seems like the manufacturer for the T1 were building them. But the switches were decent since no one discovered the fakes for a whole year.
Zeal only noticed it because KBDfans were selling more switches than they ordered from him, and based on some small differences in the housing of the switch.
There was no official statement about who made the Stealios, so take it with a grain of salt. But KDBfans stopped selling the T1s at the same time after they refunded all those that bought Zeal-switches in that timeframe. Pretty sure Wei cleared everything up with Zeal and Gateron and apologized publicly.
Point is, this drop looks exactly like the KBDfans tester, and KBDfans sold ("unknowingly") fake Zeal switches. Odds are that those testers have Stealios instead of the genuine Zeals.
Not sure if the Zealios were also fake, Zeal only confirmed the Tealios on reddit iirc.

Hate to break it to yall, but this is just a slightly cheaper, longer to ship version of the exact same thing on Amazon, which ships in 1-2 weeks. Link: https://www.amazon.com/KBDfans-Mechanical-Keyboard-Tester-switches/dp/B07BTMWJ92/ref=nav_ya_signin?ie=UTF8&
(This ships in about 9 weeks)

Is this going to have the new caps with the switch types printed on them?

This tester is so helpful. I used to prefer CherryMX tactile Clear, but now am in love with Kailh Box Jade and Navy. Couldn't have found these beauties if I didn't buy it. Pricey ($55 then) but no regrets.

I'm interested. Is there a DM feature on Massdrop where we can continue this discussion?

If there is, I haven't found it. Got an email address you don't mind posting in a public comment chain?

What I'd love is a switch tester that is also a working keyboard, and I'd gladly pay more for it. That would make it useful, once I've done testing, instead of sitting on a shelf.

one can get rubber feet at the hardware store. or you can glue some cork or plastic or anything on it, really, just to give some space underneath to run the wire. you can also just put the micrcontroller on the side if you don't wanna raise the switch tester up that much.

While using PCBs can seem like a reasonable or elegant way to wire up the switch tester, I noticed that there isn't space enough to fit any PCBs on there. I think just handwiring would be the most easy and elegant solution, and you wouldn't have to worry about putting all the switches on a new substrate and matching up a PCB to their spacing.
