Curated Mechanical Keyboard Switch Samples (33 Switches)

This sample pack includes 33 switches and is the perfect way to try many different switches to see which ones you prefer! This pack includes many of the switches from our individual Linear, Tactile, and Clicky sample packs (for a discounted price, of course!)

Ever wondered if you are #TeamTactile or #LinearGang or maybe even a fan of Clicky switches? After you try this sampler, you will have your answer and have plenty of references to help you purchase switches in the future.

All switches are provided "stock", exactly as the manufacturer/designer intended and without any additional lube or modification by HippoKeys (please note that many switches do ship pre-lubed with a light amount of lubrication applied from the manufacturer).

Note: Product photograph is for illustrative purposes and may not reflect the current list of switches! Switches are always being added and removed from this sample pack as our stock and selection changes.

Note: This listing includes only the switches. Acrylic switch cases and other accessories are available separately on our store.

Note: The list of switches below is current, but you may receive some substitutions if certain switches are temporarily unavailable. We always do our best to make suitable replacements in such cases. If you are interested in a particular switch and would prefer to wait for it to be back in stock, please indicate this to us in your checkout cart order notes.

Note: Along with every order you will receive a blue HippoKeys business card which has a QR code that you can scan to access our switch identification graphic! You can also access it via this link at any time. This graphic will help you identify your switches (past and present!)
