Overview
Keyswitch tester is an open-source printed circuit board by CandyGumdrop, from the CandyGumdrop/keyswitch-tester repository on GitHub, published under the CC0-1.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 111.8 × 27.9 mm with 18 parts on 14 nets, routed with 89 tracks and 64 vias.
Its parts include 4 resistors, 4 diodes, 4 switches and 2 connectors. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards of this library.
README
README.mdCherry-Compatible Keyswitch Tester
This is a simple keyswitch tester PCB for Cherry-compatible mechanical keyboard switches. It holds four keyswitches using Kailh's hotswap switch sockets and has an LED wired to each switch, providing a quick and simple way to test the actuation point of various switches. This board is powered either by a MicroUSB connector, or optionally instead via a 2 x 0.1" header connected to a 5 V power supply.
Most of this board can easily be assembled by hand, except for the MicroUSB connector which is a bit more tricky, so if soldering this by hand, you may prefer to use the header pins instead.
