Official Cherry Switch Tester?
« on: Fri, 05 June 2015, 18:13:53 »
Spotted this while browsing Coputex 2015 coverage.  Anyone know if this is for sale somewhere or if it's just a one off?

I've seen it before, but I don't think you can buy them. IIRC when I saw them, someone had talked to Cherry at Computex or something and had gotten one for free

There's loads of Cherry testers around, including ones that are still made today. Don't know if that particular one is still being made, but here's two types:

I own the first one.
The point is the tester in the OP is an official one from Cherry Corp.

I've got the Coolermaster Tester already but I like the look of this one because of the white color, Cherry Logo and diagram of the switch.

i remember some guy on reddit actually emailed chery corp about a switch tester, and he got one of these in the mail (i don't remember if he actually had to pay for it) but it wouldn't hurt to email cherry about this and see what they say?

Sorry for the necro bump. But searching brings me here if someone already have a Cherry MX Switch Tester Board.

Cherry Germany send this to me  :)
