I'm working with a number of different vintage switches and I want to test if they work before I solder them into a board. I have a multimeter with alligator clip leads but it's cumbersome to hook the leads up each time to test for connectivity. I feel like there should be a better "hot swap" solution out there but I'm not working with Cherrys or their clones so the Kaihl hot swap sockets won't work for me. I tried googling for "switch tester" but all I get for results are acrylic matrices to plop switches into to test key feel. Hence why I am posting here in the hopes that someone knows the solution to my problem.
The particular switches I am working with are Alps SKCC, Mitsumi Type 1 standard mechanicals, and SMK J-M0404 tall stem uprights. All I need is a simple tester with a voltage source, a resistor, an LED, and a spot to stick a switch in between them that can accept multiple different footprints.
