What comes included with the switch tester?

Each tester comes fully assembled with a 3D printed base in your choice of color, the switches you selected, transparent Cherry profile keycaps pre-installed, and a combination switch and keycap puller.

How do I choose which switches to include?

After selecting your tester size, you can browse and pick individual switches from the full Clackify catalog. You can mix and match linears, tactiles, clickies, silents, and hall effects in any combination.

What sizes are available?

Testers are available in sizes from 3x3 (9 switches) up to 12x12 (144 switches). Choose the size that fits how many switches you want to compare.

Does the tester arrive ready to use?

Yes. The tester ships fully assembled with keycaps already installed. No soldering or setup required.

Can I swap switches in and out after I receive it?

Yes. The tester base is hot swap compatible, so you can pull switches and keycaps out with the included puller and replace them as your collection grows.

What are the keycaps on the tester like?

The tester comes with transparent Cherry profile keycaps. The transparency lets you see the switch stem color underneath, which is useful for identifying switches at a glance.

Is this a good gift for someone new to mechanical keyboards?

Yes. A custom switch tester is one of the most practical starting points for anyone exploring mechanical keyboards, since it lets them feel the differences between switch types before buying a full board.

This really helped me narrow down which switch I wanted, especially since there's is literally no where near me to test out switches (not even like a keyboard meet-up). Also, they threw in some free switches for me to test. One of them I actually strongly considered. The only negative was it took a loooong time to get it to me. Like almost a month? Not gunna dock points for that, but it's something to consider. I'll definitely be using Clackify in the future when I build a new keyboard.

It truly does give a perspective. I thought i knew what'd pick, I ended up with unexpected choice. Looked for silent switches, ended up with thocky hmx puppy

KEVIN F KOHLER

It made such a difference to be able to install the switches I was considering into the keyboard I'll be using them in. It took all the guesswork and doubt out of the equation. Plus, Calvin's recommendations to fill out the sampler were great. I ended up selecting one of the switches he recommended instead of the ones I asked for. 10/10!

Emily

Very pleased with the switch tester. It helped me narrow down my choices and also made me realize, while I thought I was a linear switch person, I was actually more a fan of the tactile switches. Freebies were also great. I highly recommend this product and seller.

Ryan Bitting

Nice product for when you're feeling indecisive and need to touch ALL THE SWITCHES.
