Is it better to buy this or take $28 cash and burn it?
do these work as a spare for my keyboard, does it work as an actual switch, or does it only simulate the feel?
Why would the RGB version of any key feel any different from the non-RGB?
does this comewith the switches or do you have to get your own?

Awesome

This was great to help determine what type of keys I would prefer. It is also just fun to play with.

Arrived non time and in perfect condition!

Shipping delay respected, product in good condition.I am quite new to mechanical keyboard lore and this really helps me testing the different switches for a future custom keyboard choice later!For example, it help with my indecisiveness on Linear VS Tactile. I already knew I hated Clicky, and this confirmed it. I though I would like tactile switches (Brown) more than Linear but apparently it seems I don't mind Linear Red, Silver and Speed Silver!Buy your own if you want to try cherry switches, it is a great helper. Bonus points for fidgety people, randomly taping feels nice to relieve some stress :D!

Great sampler, switch introducer, and fidget toy

If you're considering two or maybe three different switches for a single keyboard, I recommend just going to a Best Buy to see if they have a sample or just watching videos. If you have more than one environment you'll be using a different keyboard in each one, this is great for testing out not just feel but things like noise. The Cherry Blue, Green, and White might feel and sound great, but you might want to find out that it's too loud in an office through this rather than by buying a whole keyboard. You can also keep this on you if you have a coworker or such inexperienced with keyboards and you want to help them find the right switch for them. It's definitely on the pricey side for just sampling, but it's super great for introducing others to the feel of something more than a membrane keyboard. Additionally, it's without a doubt the greatest fidget toy I've ever used... also you can spam the keys to make it sound like you're doing work. I fully recommend this as a communal tool if you work in an office full of people who chew through keyboards looking for the right fit for them or just don't realize they can do better than a $15 membrane keyboard.

Excellent for anyone wanting to learn how switches feel for a modern keyboard.

This is one of, if not the best keyboard switch testers on Amazon to buy.The best and most underrated feature is that all of the keys are labeled. So it makes memory associated with how the keys feel more natural and easier to manage since there are not that many keys on this tester.As for the key themselves? They feel great and with Cherry MX being the most commonplace on pre-built keyboards.Worth a buy, if you really want a peep into just how amazing and different keyboard can be under the hood without buying multiple keyboards. This is double worth a buy if you are looking into building your own keyboard from near scratch or trying to change the switches.

Perfect for comparing Cherry switches

Are you interested in buying an expensive mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches? Are you uncertain which switches are right for you? Then buy this. I used it to test the switches, and to test verious o-ring configurations before committing to doing it on my entire keyboard. For that, this was perfect.

Quite fun

I bought this to help decided which switches I wanted for my new keyboard. It turned out to be a wonderful fidget toy as well.

Worth the buy.

If you have fallen into the hole for the search of the best keyboard switch setup for you as I have then this is a great way to demo most of the avail switches out there. A little bit pricey but that goes away the second you find the right switch that you have been looking for.

Important for Informed Buyers to Have

Very good sampler to have, definitely beats just reading reviews about keyfeel which are all subjective anyhow. Plus this taught me just how much difference there was between the RGB and non-RGB variants of the keys. Also makes a nice desktop fidget toy after you've made your key decision using it
