README
README.mdMX-Tester
This is my Cherry MX Switch tester. This was designed to house the 10 switches in the Cherry MX Experience kit in order to better simulate the feel of a Cherry MX Switch. I created this because I was dissatisfied with the way the Honey switches in my Hackpad Kit felt, so I wanted a way to test the other Cherry MX switches to figure out which one I'd like to use in my keyboard, W60.
