MONSGEEK Akko 16-Key Switch Tester Mechanical Keyboards Acrylic Testing Tool Mechanical Keyboard Switches

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!

The keys sounded nice and the quality of the base and the keys were as expected. (Good) The keys functioned good and it came ready to go nice and easy. The keys feel nice. The one on the bottom right is for sure my favorite! Would've been nice if it came with keycaps though.

Great value for anyone looking to try a variety of switches before deciding on the ones for their keyboard. No DOA and all switches worked fine. The acrylic base is thick and solid, providing a durable and stable platform for testing the switches. But obviously, switches sound different on your keyboard, so always test them on keyboards you are actually going to use. One downside is that, as many others have pointed out, what you see is not necessarily what you get. While the item description does mention that some switches may come in different versions, I do wish that they could have at least labeled the switches included. If you're not familiar with all the switches, expect to spend some time figuring them out. Additionally, there's a chance that the switches you want to test may not be included in the batch you receive. Good luck! I have labeled the switches I received in the attached image, though I might have gotten some wrong.

First and foremost, the switches that came in the box are not the switches on the listing. I was hoping to try the Jelly Purple switch, but either they changed the stem and bottom housing, or it's not included in the set. They also included the pink and lavender switch there in cell 2,2, but I have no idea what it is... Some sort of silent linear switch. Very nice, but I have no freaking info to be able to then go and get it, which brings me to point number two. It didn't come with any sort of documentation. No map to show me what's what, no links to a site with any info, just a cardboard box with a random array of switches. Which leads me to point number three. I can see why so many people have complained about getting chipped testers. It's literally just tossed in a thin cardstock box. No dampening material or anything to take the shock of a drop. Only Amazon's packaging will actually protect the product. So, final recommendation, get a different tester if you want to avoid the hassle of hunting down the actual switches and returning the tester...
