most comprehensive switch sampler?
« on: Tue, 06 February 2018, 18:21:48 »
While I have been lurking on here for a while, I have never actually tried out most of the switches that are mentioned in this forum. I am building my first keyboard fairly soon but am at a loss as to which switches to choose. What is the best/most comprehensive switch sampler kit?
Thanks

There is no such thing as a comprehensive switch tester these days because these stupid companies keep making new switches! ;)

That said I think Clueboard's is really cool because not only does it have a pretty decent variety of switches, you can actually wire it with a battery and LEDs that light up when the switches actuate.  Which makes it infinitely more useful than most testers out there (in my opinion at least).  Bit pricey for a tester though.

Yeah that is a bit pricey and I am not sure what I would do with the macros afterwards

I have tried Topres and personally I am not really a fan of how they feel

That’s why switch samplers are good.
