GATERONKeyboard Switches Tester, Magnetic Jade Baby Kangaroo 2.0 Smoothie Melodic Ink Wall Stem Box Black Pink Key Switches for MX Mechanical 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.

I bought this because I like having something to do with my hands and it is perfect. I noticed that none of the pictures had caps on it so I found a 20pk of clear ones on Amazon and it really looks like they belong together. The switches are different enough to notice and I like the variety of linear, clicky, and tactile buttons. I ended up looking up some of these switches and I think it's important to note that a lot of the included switches are really expensive if you're buying this for its intended purpose of getting a mechanical keyboard haha. Also, the low profile brown one does not stay in the housing at all. I may try to superglue it but I can totally see how it goes missing in others' packages.

I bought this set because I'm just getting into keyboard building, but I feel like this set is outdated.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.

Helped me decide which switch to upgrade to on my current build. I went with the Jade Pros. They were the best sounding by far. Deep and clear, no scratching, no clacking, consistent. I do use a wooting pcb in an aluminum case with custom mounting, so others may have a different experience.

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.

Great tester, but for some reason, multiple switches in it aren't for sale. Clearly they're trying to offload some inventory, but that's a shady way to do it. Overall a great way to test out some other top tier switches though.

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.

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.
