Switch Tester Keychain

This compact keychain holds four genuine MX switches so enthusiasts can feel the difference between clicky, tactile and linear stems before committing to a full board. The lobster clasp keeps it attached to a bag or keys for quick access anywhere.

Four MX Switches Included

Blue and Black switches actuate at 55g while Red and Brown switches actuate at 45g, covering the two most common weight classes. The clear housing lets you see the copper click leaf on the Blue and the smooth stem on the linear models.

Clear ABS Housing Limits

The tester is built from clear ABS plastic measuring .8 by .8 by 1.1 inches and has no LED illumination. It fits only MX-compatible stems and cannot accommodate low-profile, optical or Alps-style switches.

Questions about this item

Will the MX Blue, Brown, Black and Red switches on this keychain feel the same as the ones in my full-size keyboard?

The keychain uses genuine MX Blue, Brown, Black and Red switches with copper click leafs and MX-compatible stems, so the actuation force and tactile feedback match the 45 g and 55 g ratings found on full-size boards.

How can I verify each switch is functioning correctly once I attach the keychain?

Press each stem individually; the MX Blue should produce an audible click at 55 g, the Brown a tactile bump at 45 g, while the Black and Red move linearly at 55 g and 45 g respectively.

Does the package include any extra keycaps, lubricant or tools, or is it just the keychain itself?

The box contains only the 1-key switch tester keychain with its clear ABS housing, lobster clasp and pre-installed keycap; no additional caps, lube or tools are supplied.
