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.
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.

Hi everyone,
We’re reaching out to let you know that the Super Switch Testers are currently tracking for delivery to our warehouse at the beginning of February, which means we’re now expecting to ship then.
If you decide you’d rather not wait the additional time, please write in to Community Support to cancel at drop.com/support.
We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.
If anyone wants to buy mine just reply to this and I’ll give you my discord or something. I haven’t even received it yet but I just know I’m not going to need it anymore 🤦🏻♂️
Definitely have buyers remorse here. Doesn't secure switches well enough. Keys arrived all over the place, several with bent pins (not broken, but these are at risk of breaking). Do not buy, unless you're looking for a simple way to get a wide variety of keyswitches. I posted a 2 star review but my review didn't show up. :(
Damn this has no legends. I should've noticed that in the photos. Also the switches came out of the plate in the packaging so I have no idea which switch is what. Total waste of money.
