3D Printed Mechanical Keyboard Switch Tester

This is a high quality mechanical switch keyboard. There are lots of those. There aren't many with this design esthetic and my daughter loved it.

I have been struggling with 3 mechanical switch boxes to bounce between my two dual monitor Macs. The video switches, after a few weeks, began to fail. The contacts became faulty and the monitors displayed incorrect colors or incorrect luma. I had to manipulate the switch to get a near decent image. Now remember I had to use a USB switch for my keyboard and mouse. Same story. The connections were intermittent causing erratic performance. The Iogear Dual View 2 port KVM (GCS1742) exceeded my expectations. The installation procedure was well documented and went without a hitch. The switch comes with all of the cables necessary. Both of my computer now communicate with both monitors, my keyboard and mouse, my audio out and audio in, seamlessly using a fraction of the desk real estate of my previous setup. When all is said and done this switch performs flawlessly and has greatly simplified the cabling needed to achieve the dual monitor, keyboard, speaker and microphone connection to two computers. I am quite pleased to find a product that efficiently does what it claims to do.

I lost the receiver of my space mouse, and this was a great price. If I ever switch a 3D keyboard or mouse, I'm all set.

It gives you the nice, clean feeling of a mechanical keyboard, but it's silent!!

Great entry level mechanical keyboard

3D Connexion really know what it's like doing 3D work, whether CAD, modeling, sculpting or the like. I had an expensive mechanical keyboard but it didn't work so well for 3D, which isn't continuous typing but lots of shortcuts. With the mechanical, doing a quick shortcut, what would happen is the modifier key would often get missed. Not a problem with this scissor (I believe) keyswitch. At any rate it has the same great feel as the buttons on the Enterprise. Layout is well thought out, detachable number pad is great, and I like the horizontal is minimized by pulling in the right hand specials (arrows, up page, etc). And we get another 16 custom buttons! Which combined with the best part - the fantastic 3DC software, gives all sorts of possibilities. I use Blender, and tied the top 12 to be an instant jump to a workspace. First is layout, modeling, sculpting, UV, etc, corresponding horizontally with the keys. Really improved my workflow jumping to focused workspaces like this so easily.

Great mechanical keyboard. Love the preset lighting options.

Great mechanical keyboard for programming. Works great with Linux as well.

I like this tester...

Just need some 3D printed adapters, and you can shoot any old No. 3A Kodak Junior.
