KPREPUBLICKailh 81 Switch switches Tester with Acrylic Base Blank keycaps for Mechanical Keyboard Box Cream Arctic Fox Silver Jellyfish (Kailh 81 Switch Tester x1)

Great variety of switches and they come in great quality.

I created a version of the list of switches using names that are more common in the western market. Should help identify exactly what is included.

Absolutely amazing value compared to other Kailh switch testers, Kailh themselves want $20 plus shipping for a 36 switch version and I've literally never seen it in stock so at $40 this tester is by far the best way to figure out what Kailh switch is best for you. The included clear keycaps are nice, it's hard to tell how a switch really feels without a keycap so the included caps will prevent people without a spare keycap set from having to pull caps off their daily driver to test with.That said though it does have an issue or two; there is no printed version of the switch legend included so you have to save the picture or you'll find yourself constantly coming back to the product page to check. Additionally the acrylic base is by no means uniform. Some switches actually lock into place as they should, some lock in too well and are very hard to get out, others are extremely loose and fall right out if the tester is tilted, and others will stay in place until it's bumped.Again though, for the price it's a steal and I would recommend just for the sheer assortment of Kailh switches you get to try. You can always get a better quality empty switch tester if you want but I can't think of anywhere else you can get this many different switches for this cheap.

Much respect to the person who collected this menagerie of switches and put together the acrylic harness to test them all out. There's no substitute for feeling them under the fingers, and whoever turned their obsession into a sampler like this has my respect and admiration.

It seems like the legend takes some shortcuts, which has me worried about the right names for these switches. For example row 2, column 5 is just labeled Kailh Grey. Well, Kailh has a few switches with Grey in the name but as far as I can tell, no just plain Grey. To me these look and feel like Kailh Ancient Grey, a linear switch with 95g force. KT Grey is 40g, and the switch's stem has an open-sided rectangle while the Ancient Grey has the closed square like we see in the photos. (And the switch in the sampler is, indeed, a rather tough cookie).Then there's one labeled Kailh Midnight Grey. But if I search for that, I don't find one. It looks and feels like a Midnight Pro? Maybe?So, take care if you buy this and then find your sweetheart switch, as the labeling may be incomplete or inaccurate.Also, n.b. the switches are not fixed into the acrylic in any way, so it's not hard at all to drop some or all of them. Good luck!Still a convenient kit, but it has some unfortunate issues.

Contains a fairly complete range of switch styles, from light silenced linears to violently loud clickies, and everything in between.Has 30 linears, 25 tactiles, and 26 clickies.It even came with blank keycaps! Essential for approximating how a switch behaves in an actual keyboard. The keycap mounts are really snug, and require a worrying amount of force to install. But any switch that can't handle some extra strain isn't a good switch, and these all survived.Nice bonus: A handful of extra backup keycaps were included.The switches are all as advertised, except one: I got a duplicate Ancient Grey where a Midnight Grey was supposed to be.Since the reference image isn't very descriptive, here's a complete list of the switches (all are by Kailh):1.
