  • Product Description

    Don't know which Cherry switch fits you the most?
    Purchase this tester and try yourself before you chose keyboard! Our kit is designed to simulate the actual feeling on a real cherry mx switch mechanical keyboard by mounting all the actual switches on a special design model!

    Includeds 9 clear keycaps, Cherry MX switch types, and sound dampening O-rings.
    -Cherry MX Red.Low actuation force, silent, smooth. The most popular switch for gaming, it has the lowest force required to hold the key down (just imagine how long you hold "w" to move forward in most games, this key won't tire your hand). One of the most popular keys, used in many gaming keyboards.
    -Cherry MX Black. High actuation force, silent, smooth. Basically a slightly more resistant red, a matter of personal preference.
    -Cherry MX Blue. Medium actuation force, clicky, loud. Very popular for typists who don't mind annoying their neighbors.
    -Cherry MX Brown.Low actuation force, quiet tactile bump. Can be viewed as a compromise between the Red and Blue, typists generally prefer the tactile "bump" feeling, yet the key is quiet so it won't annoy your neighbors. One of the most common key types, as it is used by both gamers and typists.
    -Cherry MX Green. Tactile & Clicky 80g actuation force - Firm tactile and clicky switch.
    -Cherry MX Gray-brown. Firm Linear 60g actuation force - Tactile bump, no click.
    -Cherry MX Silver. Soft linear 45g actuation force - Smooth and No tactile bump.
    -Cherry MX clear. Tactile 55g actuation force - Tactile bump, no click.
    -Cherry MX white. Tactile & Clicky 65g actuation force - Tactile and lighter click switch.

    Each sampler kit are mounted on acrylic base and includes:
    * Translucent clear keycaps (Qty: 9)
    * Cherry MX switch types (Qty:9)
    * Sound dampening rubber o-ring (Qty: 9)

    glad i bought this!
    so at first i was very confused because the o rings were not in a separate bag but on the caps already, and i was confused why the switches do not sounds like the usually do. but as i was taking off the caps i saw the rings inside and took them all off. i love this product, definitely will help me pick out a type of switch for my keyboard. i also put the switches in most to least clicky order according to what i can tell, i as well put initials on what which is which. very good quality and glad i bought it. 👍🏼👍🏼

    It accurately represents the different Cherry MX switches
    It’s honestly perfect for what it is, plus a nice fiddling toy.

    There's 9 switches in total.

    3 linear switches :
    - Cherry MX Red
    - Cherry MX Black
    - Cherry MX Linear Grey

    3 tactile switches :
    - Cherry MX Brown
    - Cherry MX Clear
    - Cherry MX Tactile Grey

    3 clicky switches :
    - Cherry MX Blue
    - Cherry MX Green
    - Cherry MX White

    The switches came in a random setup so I rearranged them based on type and feedback.
    I attached a photo with the switches aligned (top: linear; middle: tactile; bottom: clicky), in order of strength needed for activation.

    Another benefit to this tester is that it includes O-Rings which slightly reduces the key travel and noise.
    There are other size O rings available but these do give some idea to any benefit to using O Rings.

    I highly recommend this key switch tester to anyone who wants a mechanical key switch keyboard.
    A decent price and a very good package.

    Overall, i'm really happy with this product and my only cons would be that their is no Cherry MX Silver, no Cherry MX Silent Red and no Cherry MX Silent Black !
