Akko 16 Key Switch Tester Mechanical Keyboard Acrylic Testing Tool Mechanical Keyboard Switch

Needs a list of what switch is which and also keycaps...but understand this is just a distributor and not the manufacture About 8 or 10 switches feel very similar to me which I found surprising

While this did not come with a sheet to tell me what keys were which, a quick search online and learning by tapping the different keys quickly showed me which was which, for the first time in my life, I truly understood what linear and tactile keys are, something reading about them will never teach you. Keycaps, sold separately, are needed to complete the experience. The sound changes, and the feeling when you press the key changes. And when you're done, it becomes a super fun fidget toy. My kids can't put it down.

I was a little hesitant to buy this as there is a note in the description that said the switches might be different due to what’s available at the time. That being said, I’m very happy with the switches that came! Something that should be noted is that a lot of the AKKO switches are now v3 versions and so they may seem a little different when they come on this sampler. I noticed some reviews said that there acrylic base came cracked but everything arrived in perfect condition and all the switches sat firmly in their slots. That being said, I loved being able to try all the Akko switches and even the gateron milky yellows which was an unexpected surprise! In the end, I went with the Akko creamy yellow pro v3 and I don’t regret it at all. I definitely think this is worth it for anyone wanting to experiment with switches!

Solid set of test switches. However I did not receive the same switches that were advertised. 3/16 switches did not have pins at all. I’ve attached a legend to help those who would like to identify the switches on the board if yours came in like mine did.

Well made keyboard switch holder/tester wish it had more clicky and tactile switches instead of the linear, but it works and is a quality product. Fun to click on while waiting for downloads updates and installs especially if you work with computers and spend a lot of time waiting or need something to occupy your hands while working on something else. Also good to figure out what kind of switches you want or don't know the differences between types, or if you have a custom computer shop to let customers see what they want.
