Title: GMK Switch Tester With QMX Clips
Post by: RoastPotatoes on Fri, 16 October 2015, 17:46:39: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/gmk-switch-tester?mode=guest_open (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/gmk-switch-tester?mode=guest_open)

I wasn't sure if these were available to purchase so I think this counts as a good find.
I have one of the switch testers and they are really nice. The Q's were my first experience with GMK doubleshot and they are really nice.

If they had a plate mounted version...
The q clips don't work with a plate though.

but to shave that amount of clip....

exactly my point

I can't read but I agree! :P

Maybe just integrate it into the switch top housing.

Problem is the clip grips where the plate goes, so if you shave it down it won't stay on any more. I think they're a nice idea, poor implementation. What I mean is that the kind of person who'd buy them would more than likely have a plate mounted board.

Not to mention they only work well with Cherry profile keycaps that have low crossbars. DCS, DSA, SA and some OEM profiles, for instance, would bottom out just as hard as without them. Poor implementation.
