Gateron Magnetic Keyboard Switches Tester - Jade Max Pro Genty Gaming Switches for Magnetic Gaming Keyboard (20PCS)

The inclusion of four switches per type in this set is *perfect* for testing in games, as it allows for replacement of the WASD keys. The Pro and Gaming ones feel best to me, but I'll have to do further testing to pick a favorite. The Genty switches have a bit of damping material on the top and a hole in the bottom – they're supposedly silent, but I haven't tested them on a board to confirm this.Just make sure that your board is compatible with these switches! Your keyboard needs to have a magnetic / hall effect PCB and accept switches with two stabilizing pins, so certain magnetic boards with flat-bottom switches won't work (YUNZII RT75, XVX G75, etc.). Examples of boards that look compatible include the Wooting 60/80HE, MCHOSE Ace 60/68 and Jet 75, AJAZZ AK680 MAX, Aula Win68 HE, TMKB T68-C HE, and Epomaker HE68, but again, check the switches on your board to confirm before purchasing. I've included a photo of the bottom of the switches, and a specs chart from Gateron's website with added images of the switches.

Love the selection of switches here. I was really surprised this switch tester even managed to get Clickiez. Nice acrylic shell, overall great switch tester. The only thing I can complain about is that mine came with only 19 switches. The one switch missing is one I really don't care about (low profile) so I can just throw a spare switch I got lying around in this, but I could definitely see this being a problem for others. Overall very good though!

I bought this set because I'm just getting into keyboard building, but I feel like this set is outdated. Included are bunch of switches that I can't identify (went n the Gateron website to try) but they aren't listed. They're stamped as Gateron so I know they're real, but It's probably better to order this straight from Gateron as there were a couple of switches I wanted from this set but have probably been retired.

This was perfect for finding my "perfect" switch for my first keyboard build. Plus, it doubles as a fidget toy to aimlessly clack on!

It could have been good for testing switches...if they were all there... But also, you're testing it blind, unless you've memorized everything from some website. Case it comes with looks stackable, which could be cool, but they put stickers on top of the case, so it's pretty ugly.TL;DR: Missing switches, not labeled.Easy fixes: Make sure all the switches are there, label them either on the switch base plate, or on the top of the cover plate in easy to read font. Don't put random stickers that take up 1/4 view of the switches on the top plate.

A great, affordable tool to try out some of the most popular Gateron switches, and the housing is solid like an actual keyboard, so you have an idea of what the switches will sound like once installed.As others have mentioned, there is no guide included. Not a deal-breaker considering the key is on the product page, but having to look it up is just the smallest bit of a pain.My biggest complaint is that a few of the switches, including a couple I really liked, are hard to find (the Clickiez, for example, are limited production and I can’t seem to find them for sale anywhere online).Otherwise, a good tester and fun to mess around with.

There are too many switches! How can you even know what you might like, before you drop the case on 60-100 key switches you might hate?Buy testers! I would have never known about the marvelous Gateron Melodic switches I am typing out this missive on without this thing. I also might have dropped money on switches that basically feel and sound the same as switches I already had. This thing saved me money, and made my life nicer, at once.

So it didn’t come with a legend because it’s a pic in the product’s description. It is actually rather comical the number of people whining about no legend when all they need to do is download the pic in the descriptions of the product. Ah, the fabulous glory of ignorant reviews.
