With a collection that big, it might even make sense to have some holders made, based on however you’d like to organize them.

If there are any signage shops in your area, there’s a good chance they have a laser bed or router. If not, there are a few shops that cater to the keeb community and take international orders. (At least one is here on KeebTalk; Laserboost.)

You can use a program like Inkscape (free) or Illustrator (ubiquitous) to create a file they can use to produce your holders; this is how most if not all acrylic switch testers are made. If you decide you’d like some custom holders but aren’t familiar with the software, I’d be glad to help with creating the files. :slight_smile:


I also had a wee mail day yesterday - some 80g longboi springs to test from @flashquark!

I bought this set a few years ago. I really like the way they feel and sound. Much better sound profile than thin DCS sets.

I received my Zeal stabs today - also for my upcoming U-80!

Also some plate mount stabs I intend to use on my NK65, and some Kit Kats for good measure.

Tip tinner. Not really sure what tips my soldering iron is compatible with so I might as well start taking good care of it.

Dang. I couldn’t find lead tire weight with adhesive when I searched on Amazon so went with Zinc. Looks like dark chocolate.

Nevermind. Thought it was lead but remembered Fe is symbol for Iron which is only slightly heavier than Zinc.

I find these steel weights to be very conveniently sized:

That’s what I got. I got mine two years ago and they clearly listed it as Zinc back then. Now they’re just labelling it “Lead Free” which doesn’t say much.
