Akko x MonsGeek 16-Key Switch Tester

Nach ein bisschen Gebrauch von den switches klingen die nicht mehr so gut aber immer noch besser als meine alten switches bei meiner Tastatur und der Switch Tester ist immer noch super

Arrivato (con calma) dentro una scatolina di cartoncino dentro una scatola sovradimensionata senza alcuna imbottitura. Non è presente il coperchio. 1 switch cherry, 2 TTC, 2 Gateron e il resto switch Akko, 16 in totale, misti... tutti colorati ma senza nessuna legenda/didascalia/riferimento (non ho trovato neanche corrispondenza con le immagini sopra)... quindi alla fine ho 16 switch un po' tutti uguali che se volessi ordinarne un set dovrei andare a simpatia di colore...
... prima esperienza con Akko... insomma

Great service, fast response. Would buy it again here.

Nice build quality

It’s always fun to discover new switches. This tester helped me to decide that Penguins are the best choice, but also made me fall in love with the Fairies :)
Downsides? Even when planning only mechanical solution, you can get some magnetic switches. Or the acrylic lid can come broken (like mine) :/

Great switch tester, wide range of switches of great switches. One issue - the acrylic case is quite brittle, it came with two corners chipped.

The product is amazing, the switches are lubed to perfection and the sound is amazing. Just what I wanted. Great service

Seems it is a little random which switches you get but other than that everything went well

Literally that, works as intended

Awesome! Exactly what I wanted. Just be aware, like other reviewers have pointed out, it doesn't list what switches are included. You'll have to do some digging and colour match ones that you like. Makes a great fidget toy, too.

Really usefull :) But don't forget to try the switches on different surfaces/keyboards.

Ich liebe diese Tastatur, alle die ich bis jetzt davor hatte können preis leistungs technisch nicht mit halten. Für den Preis komplett Tausch are Switches, dazu das aluminium Gehäuse. Man nimmt die Tastatur in die Hand und fühlt richtig das Gewicht. Also nie wieder etwas anderes.

Kleine - punkt die Tasten ;w, a, s und d sind leider nicht in weiß dabei und auch nicht kaufbar auf der Homepage das wäre noch so geil

Great packaging and easy to use, price was fine with shipping
Tester didn't come with the switches in the list on this shop page, and they omitted the only clicky switch Akko makes, so it's a shame it can't be tested.
The fact that I also had to go to the website and color-match the switches was a pain; a small leaflet describing each switch would've been great

Ich wünschte, es wäre einfacher herauszufinden, welcher Schalter welcher ist. Ich hatte zum Beispiel einen magnetischen Schalter dabei, den Akko gar nicht einzeln, sondern nur im Bundle mit deren magnetischen Tastaturen verkauft. Es wäre schön, wenn in der Packung noch ein Zettel mit Beschreibungen zu den Schaltern dabei wäre. Außerdem benötigt man für eine bessere Handhabung seine eigenen Tastenkappen; allerdings ist das bei dem Preis nicht sonderlich zu bemängeln.

16-Key Switch Tester

The 16-piece switch tester set allows me to understand the behavior of some switch models. It ships in a solid, clear plastic case which easily fits in my pocket. It is a definite improvement over the Cherry MX tester set, which includes only 10 switches, yet is almost 4 times bigger in size — and made entirely out of cardboard (but uses the inside of the box cover flap to list model names and mention main parameters such as behavior (clicky/tactile/linear/silent), registration and travel length).

However there are a few things that can be improved.
(1) The kit could have included a tiny brochure that lists the switch models and helps users identify them, because the switches themselves bear no model signature and can only be identified by body color
(2) The documentation could also direct the user's attention to specific differences in performance, because some switches appear to feel the same when pressed. I at least would need more info on *why* I should choose a particular model over another that has a similar feel.
(3) There are more than 16 switch models on offer on the Akko website as I am writing this; we should be given an explanation as to why these 16 exact models have been picked up; or, given the ability to purchase samplers of all models.
(4) The user should be given a choice to also get some keycaps; these make testing much closer to real life than pressing on the stems.

This is the justification of my 4/5 rating. Akko have given its customers an affordable way of testing their proposals, but with some more effort it could be improved further.

Came as pictured.
Very useful for actually having a feel between the different forces and tactile vs linear and such.
It's also proved to be a great fidgeting toy, for just randomly pressing the switches with the different strengths and textures.
Would highly recommend to those who have no experience with mechanical switches yet.

However, they can only get you so far. There are no keycaps on these switches, and they're not inside a keyboard obviously. I imagine that with keycaps it'll feel and sound different. (I haven't bought a keyboard itself yet, so I don't know yet.)
It's also not the full list of switches available, but will probably give a wide enough range to imagine what the others will be like based on what these are like.

Great keyboard. Factory lubed switches. Awesome support. Helped me reset my keyboard after I accidentally bricked it.

I got it looks like exactly the same as in the picture. It is just a perfect.
It would be nice if there will be any kind of naming, or a qrcode lead to a website what it is showing the details. Naming in the correct order and basic details.
I know switch guide is in here, so I/we can find the details, it is just would be a bit better.
But no complains.

Very Nice keycaps

Customer service was really helpful when my switch testers got lost in customs. Definitely recommend if you have plans to customise a keyboard. I ended up liking switches I didn't even consider before. I will definitely be grabbing those switches thanks to this set in a few months.

This tester includes every switch except the cyan (clicky) switch. It will give you a good overview of how the akko switches perform and it did help me select my next switch for my secondary keyboard.

It comes with a lid which is an appreciated bonus.

It's a must if you've never tried akko switches!

Helpful if you want to try out different switches at low cost. Comes in a nice box. It can certainly help you pick out the switch type you want to put on your board.

Perfect for testing when you are not sure which switches you prefer and also perfect for my shelf

Very good to Test the switches.
I recommend Building them into a Keyboard because They will Sound a bit different.

The quality of the casing is very good and makes the switches feel and look nice and high quality. put some caps on them and you can easily type and try until you find the best and most comfortable switch. i went with the silent ones in the end, which felt very great.
